Crown Tournament 3: The Kirin Arcanist

By: Shami Stovall, Ryan Tang

Narrated by: Erebus Esprit

The Crown Tournament blazes toward its thrilling finale!

Amir and his team of arcanists have battled their way through countless skilled opponents to reach the national stage—and each victory has come at a cost. But a midnight ambush has left Amir reeling, stripped of his master, Elias, and the guiding light of his kirin, Roux.

Now, desperate and without guidance, Amir must forge dangerous new alliances and master unfamiliar techniques in order to save those he loves. But the deeper he delves into the tournament’s secrets, the clearer it becomes: the Crown isn’t just a prize—it’s something far more powerful than anyone could imagine.

Can Amir survive a game rigged by kings? Or will his path to glory become the spark that burns the world?

Epic Conclusion to an Amazing Progression Journey

It is hard to review this book alone because of how closely connected the entire series is. This book the mc fully comes into his own, and the stakes only become higher and higher.

I will give the progression path for the mc and his team seven out of five stars. As good as the journey has been with their progression stories, the payoff is exceptionally rewarding. And when I didn't think there was anything more to add, I was pleasantly reminded that there was more story to tell.

I hope you pick up all three of these books. It is so worth reading from beginning to end. Also, I would recommend the audiobooks. Erebus Esprit killed it as narrator. I hope Shami Stovall and Ryan Tang collaborate again soon with another series.
