Review from Uncrowned →
Seriously the only problem is how short they are for the money. It is a great story, fleshed out characters, no sex or language to the point I enjoy listening with my kids. I am glad there are still writers of this caliber writing stories I enjoy listening to.
Review from Zeus Is Dead →
In theory sounded like a good book but I couldn’t get into it. Still looking for my new Douglas Adams or terry pratchet
There are some good things in this series. The world building is interesting ish, most of the main characters are pleasant ish, there are some fun dialogueand character interaction throughout, the magic system is slightly altered version of the classic sword cultivation concept, and theres an oddly tacked on scifi extradimensional angelic law enforcer subplot..
Wow, this book had everything I was looking for at the time. I have been on an Urban Fantasy kick while waiting on the next Jim Butcher book to come out, and have really learned to love the genera. While I don’t think I have ever read any cultivation fantasy, this was done well and..
if this was book 2.5 in the series instead of book 3, I wouldn’t be so disappointed. The “author notes” are there for some reason. Ever wonder what police were called in ancient China? Me either. Mc goes on a quest and not a lot of the cultivation bits I was hoping to enjoy. I..

Review from A Thousand Li: The First War →
This book just seemed rushed and disjoined. Transitions between scenes are weak, plot seemed forced and authors notes shouldn’t be read by narrator. If context needs additional description it should be done within the context of the story not inserted as a note. I am hoping this is a bridge book to better things, the..
When I bought this collection for a single credit, I figured it must not be very good. But now that I’ve finished the trilogy I can’t wait for further installments! The protagonist is not your standard player, which makes for a unique story. There certainly are power balance issues but that is almost the point..
Review from Street Cultivation 2 →
Great writing, personable characters and real relationships between characters. If anything the development of the characters is a tiny bit vague. The real life aspect, backed up by a very well written story arcs makes this one of the best books in my library. Definitely worth the credit, I really enjoyed this. Kudos to the..
This book was surprisingly a slow starter… if you’ve been following the trilogies… you’ll know what happened in the last 2 books and you’d have been all psyched up for this book, expecting a big splash! Ooopsie boo boo! ?In of Dawn and Darkness, Calder Marten is in the possession of the emperor’s crown! And..
