So far, I appreciate this book the least in the series. I was in it for Vol. 1 and 2. I still was pulled through, but it's a cultivation story and that felt like it took a backseat. Wu Ying is moving very slowly, it feels like, or maybe I'm simply used to Cradle.
The story starts off pretty good in the sect. I like all that stuff. Then, Wu Ying and friends leave to help his village move and go to war. It was not all that exciting at that point. It was alright. We keep waiting for Wu Ying to move forward and he doesn't in his cultivation. He's getting so far behind that he should have died in all these battles. There was a lot of plot armor going on for Wu Ying.
There was plenty of conflict and nothing really felt like high stakes. The book starts out skipping over a cultivation level which was strange. I would think opening the 12th meridian would be important and it's off book. I guess it means little.
Lots of Cultivators died in the story. I don't know, I'm a little disappointed. I think I'll slow down on this series for now, take a break. Maybe it will be better that way.

This was a disappointing addition to the series. Fans can skip this book entirely as it barely progressed the plot. There was plenty of action but it was mostly meaningless thrashing to me. It ends as it began, except for a slight breakthrough for Wu Ying, and seeing his family secure from the war, (which apparently would have been true anyway).
