The Bear Clan #4
The Bear Mage
What does it feel like to have the whole world know they owe you their salvation? Is it pride? Basking in self-admiration? A realization of your own greatness against the backdrop of anonymity shared by everyone else? There are lots of possibilities, only none of them describes what actually happened. Instead of becoming the savior, Leg Ondo was made a mockery. The being governing the planet forbade his totems and chosen people to disclose information about the battle between the demons and dragons. And that left the world confused. What did the Brown Bear clan do to deserve the avalanche of goodies that came pouring down on it? Should they be knocked off the pedestal they so recently climbed atop?
But even that would be manageable if it weren’t for one thing: the multilevel competition designed to bring the three empires closer together. How did Leg Ondo possibly get himself involved this time?

I wanted to follow the story to the end but I'm so, so tired of the MC getting unfairly yelled at all the time. This is a trap that I think some series get stuck in (looking at you, "the good guys") when the MC is strong and the author wants to keep them grounded.
But honestly, if I were the MC here I would tell everyone to shove their clan somewhere and go be an hermit. Nobody is likeable, nobody is grateful, and nobody makes me want to continue.

I received a review copy of this book.
Nice continuation of the story, and loads of drama, along with plenty of experimenting, inventing, and of course, problem solving (or troubleshooting), depending on your point of view. I'm really liking this series, and most certainly looking forward to more in the series.

Still no idea how this series can pull off a happy ending. Seemingly balanced between two evils struggling for control with no acceptable result other than maintaining status quo. Looking forward to see how this all plays out.
As the title says this is an advance copy review and as such is a reflection of my enjoyment of the book and in no way reflects cost to value analysis.

Great Series
This story of a reborn lizard high mage being born in the bear clan was fantastic. This book cliffhangers on him and his bride being tasked to shut down a demon invasion.

same old
Leg keeps on doing his thing and saving the world in the process ,the one thing I find strange is his obsession with Liara who is a spoilt obnoxious bitch , I suppose it's easy to forget he's just a kid with no experience of women but he picked the short straw with her

This was enjoyable.
It's what I needed after all those lackluster books I just read.
Will pick up the sequel. I honestly thought the series would end with this book.
3/5 Stars

There are parts which I've enjoyed...
And parts where I thought "can you get to the point faster?" or "How is that relevant (at all) to the plot?"
