overall a solid entry in the series

I entered into this book not expecting much as I was somewhat dejected at the end of the last one. I didn't think this one would do as well but it ended up picking up a lot of the parts I felt were slacking and much of the lingering holes I was tired of being teased about. I'm not quite sure where I think they'll go from here but I'm mostly excited for the next. Liz had some more fleshing out but was still a bit flat, more characters felt less like props.

if you enjoy the series so far: 4*
if you are meh in it 3*

Different turn

This book almost seemed like it was written by someone else. It had a similar style but took some very different approaches sometimes. The end of the book is a prime example of this.
I have really enjoyed each book up to this point but this one almost killed the series for me. I hope that the next one goes back to the formula that I enjoyed or at least steers back that way.
I do understand using pain and adversity to move a story or character development forward but the MC shouldn’t have everything bad that could ever possibly happen in every situation happen to them. Tad literally could not progress because of this and his new attitude that came along this book.

The power scaling

Like all stories revolving around stats, all the numbers become arbitrary because eventually you can only look up at the stack of bricks before you just can’t see them pass clouds and then into the darkness of the night sky. Boy, it hurts just trying to fathom infinities upon infinities.

very sad

It's sad how many of these authors start out with such a good series and then ruin it at the end. he totally ruins the story with the whole girlfriend aspect

No what i expected at all.

This series always throws a curve ball. I always think its gonna be a happy ending but thats not it just yet. Things get kinda heavy in this one.
