Phil Throns somehow did better in this one.

I think out of all the audio books I’ve listened to. Ivan Kal is the most complete writer. he does good action, story, world, characters. and the little details. like when he made counters to powerful abilities. or how he doesn’t write females in a way that “they just have emotions and are hysterical”. he gives them complex thoughts and feelings just like the male characters have. most writers use females just for a look and then stereotype “hysterical emotions”
side characters are interesting and cool, for example I really like Zenker and The lord of Death.
there is always a good mix of male and female characters that you can like. imo he doesn’t write as if it’s his fantasy and a harem, but writes as if it’s a realistic fantasy, as if it were to actually happen. many writers over do it with sex, or sexual things or even sexual preferences. but I believe Ivan Kal does a great job of not overly fantasizing those things in this book.
warning this book contains heterosexual relations :O oh no! and this book contains same sex relations and poly relations. none of it is overdone or detailed except once has some details but not graphic.

the stat sheets are now longer cause of the higher levels, so you gotta skip a few minutes, unless you want to hear them.

as much as people seemed to not like Zach and how book 2 was his side of the story and his development, book 3 adds more but it goes in a better direction. book 2 was great, although a bit slower than 1 and 3. this book focuses more on Ryun again but Zach still gets his parts and there are more side stories in here for background of newly introduced characters.
can’t wait for book 4 to come out, hopefully this year!
