What doesn’t kill you isn’t trying hard enough.

Connor has vanquished The Bad Princess and taken control of Cristallur. But what of the rest of Devon? What of the other four continents? If he stands still, he will surely fall.

Edward must plot his next move, but is someone or something anticipating his every choice? Will a sudden compulsion prove all their undoing?

Ellen is stuck. How can she travel her Civilization Trail if the lands of Devon inhibit her progress?

Yosaku has a challenge she mustn’t forget. What lies behind the doors that line the Tower of Tricolor, and what are the sisters up to?

Gilbane Gilbane is stuck defending the North. Is he marginalized? Is he vulnerable? When he bumps into a stranger and befriends him, will that chance meeting test his loyalty to Connor?

Dave is Dave, and he is getting stranger. Worryingly so.

Have we seen the last of Altradees?

Jump aboard for the penultimate book in the Warlords of the Circle Sea saga. The final book, Dragon’s End, is written and currently in edit.

Contains curse words.

I am redoing this review since the 5 book series is completed and I have read them all. I classify this as a portal litrpg 4x. The 4x is base/civ building similar to some mobile games or computer games.
Each book feels different from the one before it. For instance, book 1 is mostly a normal litrpg, then ends with base building, while book 2 is heavily into base building and military campaigns. Each new book also focuses on a new side character. What's interesting, is that later in the series, two of the characters I cared the least about, became the most interesting, to the point that I wanted to read more about them than Connor.

I give this whole series a 5 out of 5, and it has a wonderful ending.
