Review from Death Rites (The Lazarus Codex) →
This is a good read and worth the time BUT it’s basically a less sophisticated Dresden Files. I would read the Dresden series first. This is a decent series that deserves a listen but if I had to pick one, no contest, Dresden Files are the real thing – better written, better character development, and..

I wasn’t sure what this book would be about and it turns out it’s a twist on the werewolf story. The way the antagonists are alluded to makes it seem like it’s talking about gangs, which it is, just of the supernatural variety. I really liked the writing. The word choice and sentences were masterfully..
This book was a lot of fun. Great characters, great setting, great story, and a great narrator.
I enjoyed this book, I’m a fan of cultivation novels and this one didn’t disappoint. The narrator was a little bit monotonal but that didn’t bother me overly much. I’ll still listen to the next when it comes out
The story is not bad but the author rushes through it in many ways leaving it less than it could be. Character building is not too bad but it is difficult to root for the “hero” as we only skim him and are not allowed to get to know him well enough.The narrator has a..
After the Cradle series I figured I wouldn’t get to have another book like that on Audible. Mr. Wong, you made my day. This stuff is great. I cannot wait for more. Now I’m gonna be all obsessive about checking for release dates for another series. So worth it.
This novel is essentially just the introduction arc to a standard cultivation novel, which means that if it followed the usual cultivation novel format later on it would just be about 1/20th of the story. He’s still at the first realm of cultivation at the end, so not going anywhere fast. It was decent, if..
This is a fairly standard story for any martial arts or fantasy origin story. entertaining at times, but nothing surprising or overly compelling. thought about returning it a number of times, but finished it and am not unsatisfied. this is an adequate story.
The reviews claiming that this book is like the Harry Dreadsen series is very misleading. You wanna read something that seems so believeable that it will leave you wondering, read Harry Dreadsen. Harry Dreadsen gets in deep with cooking up potions and other magic in his cold basement with the skull giving instructions. He has..
Excellent book performed by the best narrator I’ve found. Well worth a listen. If you like that narrator, try the Cradle series by Will Wright. Travis Baldree narrates that as well.
