Resumen del Editor
In the quest to save my life, I delved into unnatural powers and changed myself utterly.
I mastered new forms of Magic and discovered others. I expanded my knowledge, learned, and grew; both as a Magician and a man.
It wasn't enough. All I managed to do was to buy myself some time, and now that time is running out.
My brother has fought me every step of the way. He even murdered my one hope of a cure, and in his demented desire to finish the job, went digging into mysteries he had no business with.
Now, he's been taken. Body and soul possessed by the first conqueror, the monster who destroyed mankind's first stab at complex civilization.
Desmond was dangerous when he was simply the First Shadow. An idiot with power is still lethal. Now, he has the power of an Archon coupled with the ability and intellect of the very first Black Magician.
I couldn't stop him before. What the hell am I going to do now?

Historia
My twin brother is a Wizard and thinks he's the only magician in the family. It's actually a little funny that he hasn't suspected anything different over the last 17 years - with my constantly need to keep his idiot face out of danger and stupidity - but that's not today's problem. You see, someone's trying to kill him.

Matt's in the prime of his life. So when his doctor tells him he only has months to live, he figures it's just really bad luck. But it's about to get a whole lot worse. When Matt's Earthly form finally expires, a truck-avatar system gives him the opportunity to become a hero on the paradise world of Gaia, a supposedly verdant, rich land teeming with plants and potential. What he finds instead is a place completely bereft of life. A literal dead planet. Thanks a lot, truck.

Brian Fieldings just buried his dad and lost the only job he's ever had. Waking up in an unfamiliar, pitch-black room the next morning feels a lot like the rotten cherry on a particularly awful sundae. Especially given the inhuman howling coming from the other side of the door. He's only been conscious for a minute or so, but Brian already has questions. Where is he and how did he get here? What is making those terrible noises? And why does the room he's in have an altar?

Historia
Nathan's life was defined by labs and lectures until an Archmage yanked him into Davrar and made him a tantalizing offer: master magic in exchange for Earth's scientific secrets. Yet, Nathan can't shake off the feeling that darker truths lurk beneath such promises. The world of Davrar is a dangerous place teeming with dungeons and monsters–ruled by levels, Talents, and a near-infinite progression of power. Nathan will need to rely on himself to survive, forging alliances and taking every advantage he can get against those that seek to control him.

I struggled every day, looking to put something on the table, but it was my life, and no one had a right to take it. Especially not Eris Lanyer, lord of the city, the very same who was supposed to keep people such as myself safe! The nobleman killed me without a second thought for the sole purpose of testing the blade he had just acquired! So here I am, burning with such a rage at this flagrant lack of justice. My hate is so immense that I'm unable to pass to the afterlife, and so I return as a Revenant.

Brilliant series ruined by grimdark.
This series has always tried to walk a line between situations with world ending levels of danger/challenge, and light hearted, coming of age slice of life story telling. In part this was supported by an MC with a boundlessly positive world view (and a bit too much deference to the women in his life).
It seems that the author has lost sight of this balance. The book starts with the MC's powers destroyed, and the knowledge that they are dying and will be dead in a few months. It only goes downhill from there. His support is lost. His reputation is destroyed. His body is damaged in ways that are visible and incurable (even with magic). The situation is so dire, that no rational person could assume there would be a positive outcome.
At the half-way mark, it appears that the possibilities for the end of the story are either the MC will lose, ending the series with the moral that no matter how powerful, heroes die. Or the ending will be so pyrrhic that it will make Frodo leaving for the gray havens, seem humorous.
I get the feeling that the author intended this to be the grand finale for the series but in an effort to go out with a bang, they have ruined the thing that made the series great: The MC could keep their positive world view because they *experienced* some of that positivity at least some of the time. In this book, it's soul crushing sadness all the way down. The MC's positivity is absolutely jarring in the face of the situations they are placed in, to the point that it just comes across as self-deception.
I am seriously considering just stopping now.
