The Samsara Crucible by Lorne Ryburn
3.0
I won't lie to anyone, this book was incredibly boring compared to the last installation; it felt lost, going around in circles and taking us to irrelevant places/with no actual necessity or greater value added to the story. This book felt a decent bit like filler. I liked some of the character development so don't get me wrong, but the plot moved along so incredibly slowly in this decent sized book.
The Ascendant realm is interesting but it's just felt incredibly lackluster compared to the last three books, the author is incredibly capable at world-building and magic design but this book didn't have any of those aspects. We meet some new characters whom I feel mediocre about, they just aren't that interesting IMO (not bad but yeah just uninteresting) .
This book wasn't bad though and there were some interesting parts i.e mc character growth and the person alongside him as well. Just well... the rest is lacklustre. Will give the next one a try and decide from there.
3.25*
