***A LitRPG Progression Epic***

The Epic Finale to the Guardian of Aster Fall Series!

Sam is the only Astral Titan left in the Void they once ruled. If necessary, he will remind the High Council of the reason why.

For now, however, Aster Fall is safe and it's time to find his sister an academy to attend on a central world, somewhere she can grow up with all the advantages a Titan can give her.

And what better way to do that than to attend the same academy as a guest professor? It will let him keep an eye on Altey and work on his own projects at the same time.

If it terrifies the faculty, that's not his problem.

He might even open an enchanting shop like he wanted to do when he was younger.

He's climbed to the height of power, but there's still the mountain of the Sixth Evolution and the Sixth Star ahead of him, along with everything the Titans left behind, including the Path of Stars and the mysteries of the Outsiders' realm, if he dares to unravel them.

With his shared bloodline, every secret lies open.

The Lord of Silver Stars is rising and his path will shake the heavens.

Great series. Now with modern curses :)

last book of a great series. likely will need a new edit and upload since at 5h 52m remaining the female narrator drops the F bomb out of no where. A fun way to end the series.

great finish

I liked the entire series. There is a lot of lore and detail about the magic system, which I like. my only issue is it looks like some bloopers made it into the final cut. Probably spliced together by AI and no one listened to it before adding to audible. That's my only issue. Besides that, great listen.

My favorite series

I was so excited when book 9 came out, I was not disappointed. The only thing that would have made this book better is if there had been 50 more chapters. I will miss not having anymore books about Sam and his family. This series is my go to when I am between other books. My only regret is I can’t give both story and performance 50 stars, 5 stars doesn’t do the series justice.

So Many Plot Holes, I Tripped

I like the series, but at the same time, everything about it feels rushed.

There are some amazing plot setups and moments that genuinely got me excited—only for them to go completely unused.
For example, in a previous book, there was a mention that one of the titans could be considered the MC’s mother… and then nothing ever came of it. I was really looking forward to that interaction.
Then there’s the MC’s little sister—she gets a ton of defensive enchantments and a literal book golem to protect her. Even brings her to school, where enemies could try something... but again, nothing happens. That cool enchanted book? Totally unused.

The end of this book does set up a new series in the same universe for later, which is neat, but I can’t help feeling a little disappointed.
I was really hoping to see the MC end up in a full-on war with the other universe—that plotline had a lot of buildup and foreshadowing that just never paid off. It honestly feels like the author got tired of the current series and wanted to start fresh somewhere else.

It’s still good overall—I just wish we’d gotten closure on the few things I was actually excited and curious about.

Beautiful, simply beautiful and amazing. Started out strong finished spectacularly!!!

I have always loved this series from the very first book. A crafter MC was such a dream come through for me and the author did not disappoint. Usually when series get this long some authors fumble or have certain weak books. Not this series. Every book was a hit. Every book was amazing. Such a rich and fantastic world. I remember the day I read that little boy and his father stumble into those ruins not knowing anything and then getting horns to watching him become the sovereign. Sam’s strength didn’t fully hit me until this book. The way he just casually created dimensions and pocket dimensions and just operates on galaxy scale levels is crazy. The ending left a solid foundation for a lot of future series wether it’s the new wild era series or one about altey or about Sam’s new journey which the author most certainly has to create sometime in the future or even the path itself becoming the system that a lot of litrpg books use and starting a whole new story in a whole different universe with a different world and power system than aster fall. All in all this entire series was a masterpiece. Congratulations David. You are officially a legend in my books.

Epic Finale to the Guardian of Aster Fall Series!

David North absolutely sticks the landing with High Artificer, and the dual narration by John Pirhalla and Stephanie Németh-Parker makes it even better. Sam’s journey as the last Astral Titan blends cosmic mystery, sharp wit, and raw power in all the right ways. This finale really delivers!

Sad to se it end

This has been a great ride, so sad to see it end… Hopefully the new series coming out sometime this year will continue the epic tale.
