Summary
After concluding their first year at Lorian Heights, Corin and his friends catch a train from their native Valia to the distant country of Caelford.
For most, this would be a simple vacation. Corin has other plans:
- Meet Anabelle Farren, the eccentric owner of Farren Labs, and learn about artificial attunements.
- Seek out Warren Constantine, a previous Arbiter, for training and a potential alliance.
- Find the visage Ferras herself to seek a cure for Sera's condition.
Of course, Corin is Corin, and there's absolutely no chance he's going to be able to stick to a list. Even if he miraculously developed a sense of focus, he isn't the only one with plans....
The Blackstone Bandit. Everyone's favorite mysterious book entity. The aforementioned Farren. A vacationing professor. The mirror of a figure from Keras' past. When their plots intersect, Corin and his friends are, predictably, stuck at the center.
It's going to be a long vacation.

another great book and performance
at the beginning the voices seem a bit off but the narrator quickly gets back into the groove of the characters

Hooked!
Another fantastic installment to the series, Andrew Row has left me once again wanting more of the story and Nick Phodel is a master storyteller; it is so easy to listen to and thoroughly enjoyable.

Can't wait for the continuation of the story
As per usual, the book was a breeze to go trough. Stakes get higher, and characters keep developing. A very fun and interesting listen.
Nick Podehl continues to be an amazing narrator as always.

Excellent!
I've been following Rowes books for a while now and I've listened to them all multiple times but Arcane Ascension is by far my favourite and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book!

Some good progression, a lot of filler and silly.
SPOILERS
So the story itself pretty much is looking for another arbiter, climbing a tower getting some upgrades a whole bunch of casual life/death decisions dealt with in an illogical manner because authors have the ability to know the characters not going to die and therefore makes ridiculous choices with unlikely endings just to seem clever. I like this series but it's starting to follow a lot of bad writer clichés and I mean the author or narrator thinks its vice a versa it's vice versa... 4/5 hours of story the rest is filler he doesn't even get to his next rank ffs, people ignoring the overwhelming potential of the Arbiter to waste potions on a brawler is idiotic, too many things done to make it seem like the characters are loving, caring and moral as well as relentless, It's normally the sort of uninformative drivel womens romance novels roll with, yet at no point is a relationship formed, oh and look despite gay people accounting for a very small percentage of the population the main character is at very least Bi how trendy and crowdpleasing. Focus on writing and not on fitting as many target audience parameters in each chapter and stop with the whole cliche people all want to help each other bs most people are in it for themselves as much or more so than anyone else... Realism matters putting characters through silly circumstances and having them live whilst dramatic and all that is very ott for every end book scenario so American with everything's always lit.

not a bad book
I like the series but the progression of the characters is a bit slow there's a bit to much thinking and theorising and not enough doing but I will continue with it a bit more. I think Charis would have been a better main man.

A great installment.
Third book has been fantastic. I love the detail that it goes into. it's isn't a face paced book like some adventure stories but I like that and it makes up for it in variety and detail.

Continues to be my favourite book series
It's a great in between story and while it might not be satisfactory for every one it continues to expand the amazing world building and be able to be both funny and serious and the appropriate time. Can't wait for the next one
