About this listen

The future hangs by a thread. Wisdom and kindness are a luxury. Freedom is balanced against the promise of tomorrow.

Argrave's harrowing journey to the Burnt Desert left him at death’s door, but breathed new life into his group by adding a fresh face to the party… if a severed head on a stick can be considered a proper companion. His goal is in sight within this foreign land with a tradition of hostility, and the royal bastard stands at the cusp of becoming black-blooded.

All of the magic, components, and requisite skills are close at hand. But the closer the team gets to their desires, the tighter the web of impending conflict tightens around them—a web woven with the threads of zealous devotion by the god Fellhorn’s despotic followers. Even with how hard they struggle to succeed, there’s no way to know if the inscrutable, unstable Alchemist will be willing to perform the procedure or eradicate them on the spot.

Just as worrisome is knowing that even if they can convince the Alchemist to take the job, he can demand any price for his services: body, mind, or even soul.

I Loved this book and binged the whole thing, just like I have every other book in this series. I have another 2 books after this until I’ve caught up with the audible versions and hopefully the next is out by then.

This book is honestly walking a great line, especially with the results of what happened in the desert. Leaves everything wonderfully grey. Titus was interesting and I’m sure he will be back in the future.

I have already spent credits on the next two books and they’re waiting for me

the slow burn of the Mc's grown while intriguing did begin to irritate some. thankfully all that changed with this book. in book 3 we see Argrave finally lose his sickly status.
which means going forward his health will not hold the other's back.

sickly no more

This whole book feels like a packet list of side quests - it is well written, but there are places here and there where you'd think it's kind of stagnant because it's not as impactful to the main storyline. However this book constructs connection between new characters, and there are new experiences which I can see being used as an aid in future endeavours.

I'm already on the next book where the story picks back up the original pace of the main storyline. I can see how the 3rd book is important for the "build-up" for what's coming in the 4th. I can't say certainly how the 3rd book could be better.. It works as it is even if it's a bit dull. It's worth the waiting tho.
