The Body's Dungeon #3
Bio Dungeon: Hemostasis
Sometimes the only way to go forward is to go back…
Progen defeated the Parasyte that was engineered by the malevolent Blood Curse, but there is still a lot that the dungeon crystal needs to do to fully control his entire dungeon. While he actively works to finish controlling the rest of the body that hosts his presence, there lies one major obstacle to the culmination of his plans: the brain. The Blood Curse has locked itself away behind a barrier that keeps Progen from spreading his influence inside, while also preventing the Curse from manipulating anything outside of its hiding place. The dungeon crystal is thus stymied in his efforts toward complete control; but fortunately, Progen has gained access to new immune cells and systems that he can use to improve his host’s body – and thereby, his own survivability.
Meanwhile, when the dastardly Ghevin Drestice’s devastating use of the mind-control abilities of a strange crystal finally catalyzes interest in Marstin from the highest authority in Istut, the young thief-turned-adventurer is thrust back into the spotlight. Now he has to navigate his way through a brand-new world of political intrigue, secret organizations, and high society, all while struggling with the burgeoning power that has recently been unlocked inside of him.
While Progen fights against the immutable barrier around the brain and the Blood Curse, Marstin fights to survive this world into which he has inextricably been thrown. Both will face challenges that should end with their deaths, and only through unwitting cooperation will they see themselves through.
But will that be enough to survive against the Blood Curse’s temptations of power and its inevitable emergence from its magically-imposed exile?
Contains LitRPG/GameLit elements, such as character progression, statistics, and resource management. Also contains an in-depth, science-based portrayal of how the immune system responds to foreign pathogens via different white blood cells and other microscopic protectors, complete with a glossary of medical terms (factual and fictional). No harems, sexual content, or foul language.

~Disclaimer: I received a free audiobook copy of this book. ~
Fantastic ending
If you liked the first two books, you’ll be happy with this book. Honestly, probably the best book in the trilogy.
Secrets are revealed, both our MCs have growth in gifts, political intrigue and an excellent ending make this a fun listen/read.
It is nice to read a completed series. Too often, I pick up a series and then it appears to be dropped by the author or that the author is just going to continue it indefinitely. So, it was nice to read a story wrapped up. Although, there is more story that I’d love to get a chance to read.

Progen VS. The Blood Curse; The Final Battle?
What will the result be for Progen? Destruction, mutual destruction, a pyrrhic victory, a solid win, or none of these? The only way to do d out is to read the book!
The third novel of the "Body Core" trilogy, this is a Dungeon Core novel with an interesting twist since the Core, Progen, finds himself inside a human body instead of in the earth and stone environment typical for a Dungeon Core. The trilogy is a great read and I highly recommend it to those who enjoy novels of the Fantasy and Dungeon Core genres.

Great plot twist, curious how it turns out
I was expecting Progen and Marstin to finally meet in this book as both of their perspectives finally come together. Instead there was a major plot twist in the end that suggest a likely second series. Keep up the good work.

That ending tho
This was a great (ending?) to this particular series. Such a different take on the usual Dungeon Core adventures. It wrapped up very nicely for Marston and Progen at the end, but it wasn't easy. (Is it ever?)

Interesting
I was too impatient to wait for the audio of this last book in the series. I love the novel ideas and dungeon storyline. It's been fun.

It’s a good story!
Not sure if this is the end of the series, or the beginning of the second series, but either way, it’s a good story.

This was the beefiest book in the series. It was better than I expected. The political intrigue was a nice surprise.

great ending, or is it?
This was a great ending to the trilogy, but the end gave an opening for another story. I will have to see if it is written yet.

I take it this is the end of the initial trilogy. Not really the climax >_> I was suspecting, but it does setup a future series quite well.

Great Book, Really Enjoyable
Really enjoyed the progression/growth of all the characters. One of my favorite parts was the parallel story progression with the main characters. Especially the highly detailed bits with Progen and Stemmy. When I first started this series it kind of threw me off for a second at first but I grew to really enjoy it. This is quite the world that is brewing with so much more that I’m looking forward to seeing. I can’t wait to see all the familiar and new characters in fun and interesting situations.
PS. If you guys actually read this, Great Author Team Up.
