Balance

Throughout this book I see the rise and fall, the death and birth, the love and hate of all the characters. Within every lie the is a truth and in every truth a lie, but all working towards one particular goal.

Full circle

The main story of the spoke was good as all the other ones the ending was freaking amazing it tied up all of the loose ends but you always wonder about maybe even just a little and gives amazing place for the next Set of books Hell I might be happy if it ended here because that was such a good ending the ending both makes you mourn the loss and really feel good about the victories it is weird and I love it

A Story that Transcends the Heavens

I must say, after taking what I thought was a unique "risk" with picking up the first book, it's been absolutely incredible falling in love with that book and continuing the journey through 9 masterful stories, which have traversed such an incredible range of growth and awareness.

This book feels as though it is ending the first leg of an amazing journey, while at the same time opening the door to incredible new worlds beyond. I strongly recommend anyone interested in Cultivation novels, of self examination and that persistent desire to learn and grow, to pick up this series. It's both enlightening and feeds the soul.

Epic!

Everything comes to a head in this book as the adventures on the Ling Nan plane come to an end and the journey to a transcendent plane begins. I throughly enjoy the resolutions to many character’s stories and the hints we got for those characters who will be continuing the journey with us. From the bittersweet farewells to the most epic fight in the series so far this book had me fighting back tears and jumping with joy. I can’t wait to see where things go from here. The narration was wonderful as always and ensured that each moment was more than a story but a journey to a new and wonderfully gray world.

Gag me!

I should have never bought this audio book. I love the story, but the voice acting/direction. Seriously GAG me. What kind of Shakespeareian dramatization garbage is this. This story is about war and being powerful and fighting. Why is it narrated with a flowery accent? barf.
