I really wanted to like this series but man, literally nothing happened for majority of the book. The first book was fine, a farmer progressing his way from peasant to inner sect member and proving his worth. Now what? It feels like I’m peering into the life of an average human being with no passion for anything. I kept listening, thinking that at some point it would pick up. However, except for the very last portion it didn’t. Upon looking into reviews for future books, it seems the characters lack of progression, both martially and emotionally, is a repeating issue. So sadly I’ll be dropping the series. It may pick up eventually but I can’t risk more time just on that hope.

Also adopt me, Travis Baldree. 5 star performance easily.
