Summary

A young warrior enters a deadly realm to become the ultimate champion in the battle of good against evil in this post-apocalyptic fantasy for fans of RPGs.

Zeke Blackwood was one of the most powerful beings in the Radiant Isles, wielding supernatural abilities earned through countless battles. A unique fusion of human and demon, he waded through oceans of blood as he fought against a tide of undeath that consumed the hearts and souls of everyone it touched. Now, with the Isles lost, Zeke and his companions have ascended to the Eternal Realm. Transformed by their ascent and scattered across the lands, each must endure their own trials as they struggle to cope with their new powers in an unfamiliar world.

Awakening in a frozen landscape, Zeke is enslaved by the remnants of a formerly mighty dwarven civilization and must once again traverse a labyrinth of tunnels inhabited by vicious kobolds, indomitable golems, and a host of other monstrous creatures. Along the way, he tests his untapped magical and combat skills in an ongoing quest to gain ever more power. With each victory, his strength grows as he struggles to defy his captors and plan an escape to reunite with his friends.

Meanwhile, those friends—his soul-bonded dire bear, Pudge; the undead Talia Nightingale; and the alchemist Tucker—encounter allies and enemies of their own. But Zeke's former lover, Abby, has chosen a different path. Guilt-ridden after betraying Zeke, she has fallen under the thrall of the Radian Host, servants of the Sun Goddess. Indoctrinated to serve their crusade, Abby suffers through brutal training to become their weapon—and Zeke may be their eventual target . . .

The fifth volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

The series needs to be longer.

Not sure what to say about this one...

it was hard to follow as I find it abruptly switches focus from one character to rhe next, without a resounding divide in-between.

The different characters apart from Zeke, I'm not sure are interesting enough to have their own sub stories. And if you are going to go down that route, why not make the book longer?

What was the point of Talia's story arc in this book, it seemed next to pointless.

hopefully there isn't too much of a wait for the next chapter, as I hope it course corrects and gets better.

time

the story was good as the other installments but if your going to have 5 different story's beening told at the same time the book needed to be twice as long or have the chapters other than the mc a summary rather than another book of their own, as the characters aren't interesting enough to listen to

Engaging but Incomplete

I found myself thoroughly enjoying listening to this book, reflecting on what I thought were the unfair criticisms it has received by some. The decision to present the story through five parallel points of view didn't bother me, in fact, I appreciate what the author was aiming for with this approach. Each perspective offers something, and while everyone will have their favourites, I think the diversity of viewpoints could pay off.

I wasn't keeping track of my progress through the story on the app (a good sign), and before I knew it, the book had concluded. It felt as though I had only just begun, as if what I had experienced was merely an introduction rather than a substantial progression of the narrative. I can't help but feel shortchanged by what feels like a fixed word count, that delivers only a fraction of the story.

For readers deeply invested in the series, fear not, the familiar characters, narration style, and overall feel remain intact and is great. However, I can't shake the feeling of disappointment at the lack of substantial progress in the plot. I sincerely hope that future instalments address this issue, as I would much prefer to wait longer for a complete story than to be left with a rushed introduction.

Normally what would normally be 4.5 or 5 out of 5 book is 3/5. A real shame.
