This one hurts because I actually loved this series - the first book is one of my 5-star reads. But I’ve reached a point where I can’t recommend the series to anyone anymore. It feels like the author just gave up after this installment, leaving the character arc completely unfinished.
The pacing here was non-existent. The entire book took place in a cave; the main character quite literally went nowhere. And then, of course, there’s the infamous chapter dedicated entirely to the protagonist having diarrhea. It was unreal.
Despite the "4.1 stars" on Audible from the release-day hype, this was a massive letdown for the fandom. It’s a classic case of a series losing its momentum and its way. I’m frustrated because I invested so much time into this world, only to have it stall out in a cave with a joke that went on way too long.
Author claims there will be more books in the series, but that's been his talk track for YEARS.
