About this listen

Enemies emerge everywhere. Stagnation starts seeming standard. Results require Ruthlessness.

Joe has been moving deeper into his study of ritual magic and further away from his combat team. He's learning more and more, but more often than not needs to choose between his research and squad leadership. Improving the town is a huge help to the guild, and they have been pushing to increase their power.

Their rapid increases have not gone unnoticed. The guild receives an ultimatum, delivered by assassins and signed with blood. If they continue to accrue power and fame, each and every person with a grievance against the guild will come to smash the town back to square one.

With tensions coming to a head, all Joe wants to do is leave it all behind and reach the next area. He flatly refuses the guild when they ask him to devise lethal options to use against the gathering army, but when the time comes...even Joe is unsure if he'll step into the limelight and show everyone exactly how ruthless he can be.

The narration shift was weird last book but now got into it and enjoyed Luke as the narrator,

Loved the bloopers at the end, thought I was listening to a really weird part of the book then realised!

I enjoyed the story however I feel like the last few chapters were pretty rushed.

Character development was fun
Can’t wait for book 6

Better than book 4

This was better than Raze (third in the main series). The enemies felt more tangible and it felt like there were more consequences to things. The protagonist was far less annoying in this one too.

I still think the author is neglecting Game Over considering Joe isn't ideally placed to sort things out now if it does get free. The book seemed more stat sheet heavy than others. I think in written form this wouldn't be such and issue but in an audiobook it can get quite repetitive.

The narration was good and the blooper reel at the end makes you realise how much work must go in to these recordings.

If you've got here after liking the first 3-4 books then you'll like this one too.

The narrator did a great job (except for the pronunciation of bifrost).

my main grumble about this was the forced way in which it seemed that the MC was driven to focus on stat training because of titles/debuffs that no one else had heard of and only 1 other person was noted as having affected. a crudely used plot devices to force things along in my opinion ... plus their over reliance on Joe, can't they come up with a solution and sort their own stuff out?

Yet again with a damm pun for the end. Great 5th book in the serie and can't wait for next book.

Didn't realize there was bloopers at the end....

Great story, great narration! Thank you! Really enjoyed the whole book. Can't wait to see what's next for Joe in the new world!

Perfect
