About this listen
Robert's journey continues, but not as planned. Removed from Earth, Robert Williams arrives in Oakhaven with his new student, Elara. Book 2 sees Robert solidify his foundation, Start to build a home, and delving into the lucrative art of Enchanting. As Elara begins her own rapid magical development thanks to Robert's unique Teaching skill, Robert grapples with local politics, establishes vital connections, and crafts powerful artifacts. However, external forces take notice, and a devastating attack forces Robert to unleash world-shaking spells, escalating the stakes and drawing the attention of powerful figures across the kingdom and beyond. The path of the Forerunner grows steeper and more dangerous.

There doesn't seem to be a great deal of character interactions with the world beyond the basics. There are no descriptions of characters beyond basics. Motivations of characters are a little bland.
Which is a shame as there's possibly areas of trauma and loss that could be explored and actually affect the MC.
A huge focus of this book are the MC's interactions with the dungeons and the fights. There are chapters incredibly detailed in the battle and tactics, and some where description is hand waived away.
There's so much of it though, and the fact there's no tension or risk it becomes a chore to read/listen to.
I was hoping for more time with the character outside of the dungeon. Interactions and exploring the world but it's so glossed over before the next dungeon slog.
So from a series progression, the chief boost were in editing and presenting it for audio format. Not much growth in the story, relatability, tension, or challenge for the MC. Think I'll be dropping the series after this book.
Shame, as the premise was a strong one, just not excuted well and doesn't capitalise on the doors the premise opens.
Strong performances on a weaker story/narrative
