I loved this book. It included everything I enjoyed from the Divine Dungeon series, and it engaged deeply with its most clever and interesting ideas. Here, though, it does so from a human perspective (rather than from the Dungeon’s eye’s view). That then affords some additional opportunities for storytelling. But you don’t need to have read that series to enjoy this one. Indeed, the main character here plays only a minor role there. The underlying power systems are simply shared (cultivation). The results are wonderful. I can’t wait for the next one!
