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

Please less Zach

It’s great that he’s part of the story but from book 1 Zach is not the one that is interesting. Honestly he’s a false main character. He whine’s about the past wrongs but first chance he gets bends on his morals with his new partner. At that point he lost all credibility in the story. I believe he was supposed to be the the Ying to Ryuns yang and bent the first chance he got. One for power on earth then with his partner. My opinion only but the book should focus on Ryun and the people he brings to his spear of influence.

Keep them coming

Very interesting story with characters that grow and evolve. Character sheet chapters are a bit of a snooze, but overall it is a entertaining listen

I enjoyed the book however.

So without spoiling anything I'll simply say that towards the end of the book I became annoyed with the copy and paste recycled bits that kept repeating. I understand that it was going through several perspectives however the vagueness of the specific fight I knew when I heard how lacking of detail something was off.

Still a solid story

Not a huge fan of what happened to Zach but definitely interested to see the next transition of the infinite realm. A lot of big names and territories taken out also Ryun died! No way great character development all around but Zach what on earth does the author have in store for you granting you so much but no memories can’t wait to find out!

Still my Favorite series

For some people listening to the stat screen sucks, but it doesn’t really bother me, and the characters and character building is top notch, the way Reune acts is amazing, only good if you like the other books though
