about 3 stars for me. dragged, wasn't super interesting. still continuing the series though hoping it gets more interesting. biggest problem i have with the series is i don't care about the characters and don't like most of them besides the spirit Ali.

I'm still enjoying this as much as ever. John is a bit too reactive for my taste, but that's not unrealistic.

About as good as the previous books!
I figured this was where the story was leading and I’m excited for it. City building/conquering is great in apocalypse style books and I’m excited to see even more on the books to come.
The fights were interesting and finally getting that last power up has been long awaited. The last battle was a bit much for me, him seeming a bit more powerful than he rightfully should be but I can understand where it came from.
It’s nice the anger seems to be mostly gone, just needs to work on his communication more.

Mini-Review: LitRPG
5 Stars for Narration by Nick Podehl
All of the books in this series need another wave or two of editing. I still love the series.
It made sense for John to walk away from Whitehorse. There's only so much he could do there. It didn't help that the guerrilla war between Roxley/Whitehorse and the Duchess ended with Roxley giving into the Duchess and keeping his role under her rule.
I really enjoyed the journey and slow building of a new haven. It's really cool how each book is shaped within the parameters of what John understands at that point in time. That doesn't mean others do not bend, warp, twist and stab obstacles in John's way. I can see how each book evolves and adds to the world as John evolves. Even if the biggest changes are wrapped up in his abilities and not within himself.
