Okay so I had very high expectations going into this series and while it leaves a lot of lead up to lindon being pretty strong in the future and he is now getting resources. While he is being set to the task these last few books have felt lackluster and the story has been a slight slog for me to get through regardless of my anticipation of what could happen. I am gonna continue the series because I got faith but I hope he develops more and his type of character is one I find very hard to support but not impossible. I wish he was a little more focused in a combat discipline rather than the crafter because books where the MC ultimately cheeses his way to victory is just disappointing.
The being said this series is high recommended and i would offer this to anyone else because these are more so my personal views on it thus far. The book is well structured and my only true issue with it is that 80% of book 1 could be cut and the rest could have been put into book 2 and made maybe a few hours longer.
