Unfortunately yet another good series has become endless pot of sugar. It's like you can't impress readers without superseding previous victory with another victory in what, like few pages.... Probably author lost his touch or love for this series. Popcorn.

poor next to a fantastic series
All the other books I read in one sitting, fantastic tales with an interesting magic system. Then this one Leg had to start a harem, become the the chief bad guy....I had to make myself finish it. Disappointing!

Help me read more books
I received a review copy of this book.
If you've read the previous books in this series, you might still be lost when you start reading this one. We've got all kinds of things happening, some of them simultaneously. New spells, New bodies, New enemies, and of course, the whole world in peril. What else do you need for a good story? Well, some consistency might be nice. Parts of this story are a bit hard to follow, because new things are constantly being added, and keeping track of literally everything becomes a bit of a challenge. If you can manage it though, you'll find the story to be an enjoyable one for sure, and where it goes from here should prove interesting, since there's a fork in the narration here, and not knowing which way the author will take is giving me something to ponder on until the next book comes out.
If you haven't read any of the other books in this series, you really don't want to start here, you'll be overwhelmed from the start, and it probably won't get any better as the story goes along.

This was a crazy ride, and I think I can hesitantly say that the series has ended.
All the "according to plan" was fun. With how this ended, I can see the author making a spin off, or continuing the series. (I hope that doesn't happen).
3/5 Stars
