Stripped of his immunity, Peter's soul has been laid bare to Erryn. Fortunately, she has accepted the importance of his free will, even giving him permission to try to invigorate the world's stagnant civilization. As his first small steps quickly snowball out of control, he's left wondering exactly what the consequences of his actions will be.
The fourth volume set in Erryn’s world, and the third in the continuing tale of Peter’s adventure.
Main character somehow gets dumber and less cautious despite getting stat increases to Wisdom and Intelligence. Ignores advice and thinks he knows best. Overall the book series is good and quite enjoyable, but Peter doesn't seem to be maturing and is only being more idiotic and reckless. Very disappointing to read a fantasy story with stat increases where the main character seems to be regressing mentally. He's forgetful and potentially willfully ignorant despite access to free knowledge and advice from more knowledgeable people. He also knows that people die in his line of work regularly with some very pointed examples but continues to treat his "quest" lightheartedly. Completely ruined my favorable opinion of Peter in this book.
Story is starting to feel contrived and less plausible and it's not the setting, but the main character acting irrationally that's doing it.
Peter’s quest to clear the dungeon no longer had a penalty, but he still wants to dive so tells no one. He continues to change the world, inspiring new ideas. He learns that he isn’t as unique as he thought and unlocks lost memories of his previous family. He defeats the dungeon.
This is not a stand alone novel but a smooth continuation of the previous one. The pace and entertainment value are maintained as is the quality. I found the story highly addicting and devoured the series in short order. Enjoy.
