Kindling

Painting the Mists, Book 6

By: Patrick Laplante

Narrated by: Adam Verner

On a Jade Moon between the stars, Cha Ming finds true love. But can he save her?

Cha Ming’s qi core is broken. Practicing martial arts is difficult and painful. But the Monkey King is fading fast, and he’ll need something stronger than mortal medicine to recover.

To that end, Cha Ming must cross the Bridge of Stars. The competition is stiff, and it will be hard to pass, even with the three-tailed fox Huxian by his side. It’s a good thing he meets a pretty lady who’s only too happy to help.

Yu Wen is kind, intelligent, and everything Cha Ming could ever hope for. Their bond grows every day. But a great evil has been following her for as long as she can remember, and now it knows exactly where to find her....

These are more word to reach the word count

It took a few books...

it took a few books to get the story going but it has been getting good! I'm thoroughly enjoying this series now!

just a good story

just well-written without having to dumb down main character to continue story hopeful for the next

Refreshed storyline

Although a little convoluted with different simultaneous plots, this book gives the series a re-kindling. The MC finds a purpose, and i think the series does too. One big frustrating aspect for me is the way the narrator’s tone is with female characters. There was a dissonance with the writing, strong decisions were made to sound weak and indecisive. A female character 1million years old, shouldn’t sound whinny, the text was not.
