Summary

The eighth installment of the hit series The Beginning After the End has arrived! Join the hundreds of thousands of fans who have fallen in love with TurtleMe's reincarnation epic fantasy and main character Arthur Leywin, voiced by the talented Travis Baldree.

I had to accept that I wasn’t just Arthur Leywin anymore, and that I could no longer be limited by the circumstances of my birth. If I was going to escape, if I was going to go toe-to-toe with the most powerful beings in this world, I needed to push myself to my utmost limit...and then I needed to push even further.

After nearly dying as a victim of his own strength, Arthur Leywin wakes to find himself far from the continent where he was born for the second time. Alone, broken, and with no way to tell his family he’s alive, Arthur must rebuild his strength to survive. As he ascends through an ancient dungeon filled with hostile beasts and devious trials, he discovers an ancient, absolute power - a power that will either ruin him or take him to new heights. But the dungeon won’t give up its knowledge easily. Before he can plunder its depths, Arthur must learn to untangle the threads of fate. He must band together with the unlikeliest of allies if he hopes to escape with his life.

What's the point of this book?

I don't want to berate TurtleMe , I've been entertained by all seven of the previous books and have a lot of respect for tm .
I felt This is like a side story that does nothing and goes nowhere and has taken 24 hrs to tell , this could have been told in a third of the time.
Maybe what happens and the characters we meet will eventually pay off or mean something to the overall story in the end.
Tm doesn't write badly and even this side story wasn't awful or boring , just lacked what I've come to expect for this series.

I could say more but im going to leave it at that.

i hope you get more from this book than i did.

Favourite book so far

A great expansion to the tbate world with this novel. The new characters introduced in this novel quickly grew to be my favourite in the series so far. The pacing has definitely slowed but that allows for turtleME to explore the culture of alacria in more detail. Narration on point as always and definitely adds a lot to this book with the different species explored in the tombs.
The book ends with an awful cliffhanger tho. The trade-off for greater world-building and character exploration is the slower pace, IMO its worth it and results in the best book so far.

Epic

Book is awesome, actually can't wait for the next book, this was slow at points but you can't expect a book to be full on all the time. This was a great book, I need more so hurry up please.

24 hours and I sill want more

the story has a good progression and cut off point for people who enjoyed the previous books in the series.
this book did a great job at expanding the world, and the main characters progression, while making it feel like a natural part of the story.

sadly I now have to wait a while before the next book is written, tho I am sure that the author already knows where everything is going.
