A great entry in the series, although the previous book had really high stakes with a lot of side characters dying and now hardly anyone can die because its a training war with high power immortals teleporting people out a second before death (which, to be clear, I really prefer, its just a big break from books 1 and 2).

War games and convoluted plots
Matt's team, including some temporary additions, do a lot of growing up. I actually really love that mental health and it's related treatments are important to this bookverse. I like Luna, and not just because of her name (my oldest's name is Lunari). Luna is going to be a harsh task master. I agree with Matt that politics is mentally draining and exhausting. The war seems to be a combination of brutality, toddler squabbling, and almost every person looking for their own individual successes. Can't say I like any of the new nobility. Well, as long as Albert and Juni are part of that. Fun read, and made me laugh.

Another fantastic book in this series. I am super happy that it doesn't fall into the typical young adult tropes. It also deviates from the typical lit RPG tropes to create something new. Very much looking forward to the next book.
