For context, I’m totally caught up to book 6 in the series. I didn’t submit a review at the time but wanted to circle back around to give AFK credit where due. This was a pretty slow start to the series, in retrospect. In fact I nearly gave it up a few times. It felt at first as if Kay was doing exactly what I’ve heard a hundred times in different generic Litrpg books, typical fare. Luckily, I powered through, because it had been highly recommended to me by a friend. I stuck with it, and, to my surprise, it was worth it. Things “shifted,” and I realized there is more going on here, that Kay was building to something, Still, the book is slow. However, it is not boring. More like a slow cooked roast in a world of Taco Bell and microwaves. Because I can tell you, after reading Book 6, Divine Apostasy is one of my favorite series currently. The world building, characters, originality, and sheer scale are impressive. In fact the ability to write impactful, vibrant, and meaningful characters, to keep the story character driven despite being so massive in scale is borderline masterful. I’m so glad I stuck with it. Cheers, Kay! Can’t wait for B7!
