Publisher's summary

War has come to the Infinite Realm.

As old allies turn on each other, as an unassuming presence in yellow walks the lands of dreams, as an empire falls, a group of people is gathered to fight the threat that the rest of the world decided to ignore.

Even as everything burns, and the chaos consumes the core, some are willing to act. Whether for their own self-interest, or just because it is the right thing to do, they are the only ones that can stand against the greatest threat their world has ever seen.

Great continuation of story

To much of Zach’s story though… just saying. He is super boring. I also appreciate the ch that are only for there screen so you can skip it if you want.

Great story... but..

I'm almost done with the story. I'm more than happy with it for the most part. I have one complaint and I bet if I read all the other reviews I'll see the same thing. The Stat sheets. I mean... I'm glad that they were on chapters so they can be skipped... but I just don't feel like Ivan made the correct choice. I see 2 other choices that he can do instead of this. One - Put them at the very end of the book with a little introduction from the narrator saying what's coming. Two - And this is preferred to me... Just add it as a PDF in the chapter list. If someone wants to know it so badly they can download and read that stuff. Idk. It's just so much of the run time man.

why is a heading required?

Why did they change it so that I need to write 15 words to leave a review. It's a great book. However, some chapters just need to be shortened. Especially the chapters for character sheets. The addition of naming them character sheet chapters was smart

Feel like I wasn’t given a heads up. I like pre-ordering

I just started and truth I don’t mind the level slash power up chapters I notice a few reviews complain about. This series is good and I wish I got more hours of story. I just started this one felt like it snuck up on me tho. Either way I wish sometimes I woke up in this situation. Dangerous but the growth in strength

The hardest part…

Of listening to these books, is knowing that the next one isn’t coming out for months if not a year. This series continues to be one of the best in the little genre.

Amazing book and series

Author does tend to favor/plot armor Zach to his strength yet the book and series remain epic and engaging.

Out of 780 books this series is my favorite.

I just read some negative reviews, first off I'm offended because of how much I love this series. Is there 20 min stats yeah every great now and then, However the characters are so damn interesting, and powerful you want to hear them to know where they stand as time goes by. I love the stat chapters and honestly its not at all that often. If your checking out these reviews of all the books to decide on starting this series. Look at these people begging for ryun, some say less Zach, some say they love Zach. Who knows which one you'll go for. That's the whole point, you'll be torn between the two. Kal is on to some real Gold here people, this should be a dang television series it's really that good. I swear anyone who hates this series has zero imagination if you ask me. The world he has created is amazing. Do yourself a favor buy this book if you've read the others. And start this series if you are just reading reviews. It's so worth it I've had 4 friends I led to this series and they've all thanked me for it.
