This book has a pretty fun, easy to follow plot. Not my favorite thing ever but it kept me fairly engaged during a long drive. I am absolutely not sold on Wil Wheaton as a narrator though. Some horrendous accent work and barely distinguishable voices made this fairly tough to understand at times. Will definitely be staying away from anything further that he narrates.

Once again, there’s just so much going on in this series with the focus jumping all over the place. Every time you think answers are just around the corner, new questions are added. As long as all the questions have a somewhat satisfactory conclusion, it’ll have been worth the journey.

This is by no means a bad entry in the series, but it does drag on just a bit more than others. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that digging into the roots of magic comes with a lot of explanation of magical theory. This is a very hard magic system and it shows. As the series starts to draw to a close, there’s just ao many moving pieces and different agendas that I have no idea how the series is gonna end, but I’m really looking forward to finding out.

Like all the entries in this series, there’s an awful lot going on with not a ton of actual progress. It’s still overall fun for me and I enjoy the meandering ride, but probably not for everyone.
