Outstanding Series

One of my favorite series, and the narration is excellent. Book 3 is where the story really gets going and everything starts to take off. The world building is scaled back a bit, which makes room for a lot more action and meaningful progression. I actually liked the time skips since I wasn’t looking forward to dragging out 40 years across multiple volumes like some series do. Easily the best entry so far, and I can’t wait for book 4.

Finally some movement!

Progression in previous books was kinda slow... I understand it was world building, and character development. But dang it took a while for the main character to advance meaningfully. Best book so far! Definitely recommend series.

Not really a story

it's fine. Generally it is quite good and follows about what I expected, but with the amount of time skipping that happens, it's more of a summary than a story. I don't mind that, when the time skipped isn't particularly notable, and wouldn't make for good storytelling, but it's used so heavily in this book that it kind of feels more like book 2.5 than 3. it's also kind of hard to relate to any of the characters when the time skips are things like "4 years after completing the trial", and are just used so casually.

overall it's still good, and I will get the next book, but it feels a bit rushed.

Good story, but all males are held at a distance

The most developed male character is the MC’s brother, and his portion of the book is maybe 20 minutes at most through the entire book.

didn't think i'd be so taken by this series

I have been loving these books. great narration and good writing, can't wait for more installments
