I'm a fan of the first 4 books in the series but not so much this one. It's okay, but the evolution of the main character, Rez, was contrary to what I enjoyed about his logical and calculating nature in past books.

4.5 stars.

I love this series, especially how Kade uses Rezkin’s character to make surprisingly insightful observations as if they are obvious logical conclusions.

However, we waited too long for this book. And now, to find out that he spent a good portion of it doing more world-building is a little disappointing. If the world keeps getting bigger, it will never end, plus it slows down the action because we’re just going over history. I thought we were past all of that. Let’s move on and give this an epic ending! Stop dragging it out!

I stumbled upon this series 2016 maybe 2017 & really enjoyed the first 2 books (that was all there was at the time) with the nigh-flawless Rezkin, whiny Frisha, bumbling Tam & the rest of the characters that came along thru the series. There was a substantial break in the time between books 4 & this one that had me thinking that the author was just dropping the series as she'd released a book starting a new series with a completely new cast of characters. Then low & behold Ms. Kade was releasing 2 books this year a origin story for Wesson the mage & this book. I don't know how many more "skills" & "powers" an author can give a character, but even for fantasy it feels like a stretch. Since I listened to this book I'm pretty sure I can't spell half the new character's names or races. Although the subplot stories focusing on Tam & Wesson were superbly written & carried out showing real character growth for both these characters. Frisha is still whiny, but it looks like there could be some character growth in her future as well. I didn't care for the ending, for it felt rushed & lackluster for a "cliffhanger" I do hope we won't have to wait too long for the next book in the series. With how Ms. Kade left Rezkin hope this is a temporary mindset cause if not I might be jaded enough to set this series down & not finish.
