Overall good story; 39 minute preview for another author

The narrator seemed to have some issues with pronouncing words. The two examples I can think of were plague pronounced as plaque and despite pronounced as deespite. The weird part is he read plague correctly a couple sentences later. I’m pretty sure it was the narrator because they had issues with other words out of context. I can’t recall specific examples but it would be something like seems vs seemed.

The author had some oddities as well. I cannot recall specific examples, but they had the same clause at the beginning and the end of the same sentence. It would have been fine in either place but it was in both. It’s similar to the comment I had in the review for the first book : In the beginning I liked the story in the beginning. That’s not the example in this book, but gives the concept.

As another reviewer noted the last 39 minutes are a preview for a book by another author. I think if it had been disclosed up front prior to buying the book, I would have been more accepting. I feel a little cheated.

Great story, I could do without that last 30 mins.

Great continuation, great voices, good plat and enjoying the other nations getting interesting. Would be great if they left that last 30mins of another book in there making me think it was more of the story I wanted to hear.

Book 3 and still not caught up to where it was on the YouTubes last December 🥲

Keleros does it again!

The world building and combat are all fantastic, with interesting locales and characters, I can't wait for more of Ajax's adventures. (Also, Fluffy is the best Feline monster pet, period)

Good book

I’ve enjoyed this series. The author does a good job between storyline and progression of the character. I do wish the character grew a little faster and the story was spit up a little bit more in the telling. Besides that pretty good book and series so far.
