I really, really hate it when I see that reviews from the “grammar nazi’s” take over a good book’s review stream(?)! This book is so much better than those reviews indicate! This is the 5th maybe 6th book I’ve read of cultivation and I finally feel that I now have a firm grasp on just what that means (yeah, I’m a nube)! This book was a bit pedantic as it broke down the process of cultivation (a mystical gathering of magical energy within one’s self) , but it was also a very measured and interesting approach. My take away is that there is more than one way to skin that particular cat!
This is a story of an old man who wanted to rewrite his life, and for just this once, actually make a difference! An old man seeking justice and revenge, he begins cultivating (without any outside help/interference) his own way! This slice-of-life book might be a bit slower than my usual fare, but that didn’t stop me from absolutely loving it! And wow… that last battle? Effing Fantastic!
I’d seriously love to get the next one should the opportunity arise…
I want to thank both of the authors (Dennis Vanderkerken and Dakota Krout), the narrator (Travis Baldree), and Mountdale press for providing me with this lovely review copy!
