About this deal

The story literally died right there, and got swapped out for a shapeless slice-of-life tedium of magic system exposition, that I really didn't care for. It was so nonsensical in how it is set up that I could not figure out if it was worth continuing or not.

So far it's a decent series though the male MC is being portrayed (yet again) as a blundering incompetent fool, and the female he likes is strong, intelligent, and confident (never wrong about anything). It merely conducts: the power is all mine, and I can release it as I please, which is unfortunate for your friend here. All the creatures and beings in the book were original to the world, and there were no comparisons to earth-creatures that "lived elsewhere on the planet". Remembering details about people made them more friendly to your cause; it was just one of the tricks he’d picked up in the last four years of hustling together every coin he could. It's almost amusing to see how badly the dungeons fare against non-Hero raiding parties when those parties consist of some of the strongest wizards and warriors in the world.It seriously feels like the author was just like, oh, crap, I guess I should split this up into two books or something. Once again the Knight has the choice to either save him or leave him, though this time leaving him does not result in his death.

He find out that he can still do magic it just takes a lot of concentration to push out all the images the mark sends him. Alex raised his staff, conjuring a wave of hell-boars to keep the demons back, giving his ally some breathing room. I'm also impressed with the world building, and how that's conveyed naturally in passing and not through exposition or cumbersome info dumps.On the positive side, I think the dark hints about the motivations of the church, and perhaps the god, are exciting foreshadowing for the remainder of the series. As it passed, Alex spied what he was looking for: two guardsmen sitting on the side of the fountain. You were quickest witted out of any assistant I’ve ever had, but today you act like a bull with half its brains slammed out of its skull.
