Honestly, this title reminds me of White Power.

I wrote quite a lot and I doubt you will read all of that so I'll just shorten this and say in the first place I doubt Darius has much to do with the balkor cards in the first place as he is too incompetent in my eyes. There isn't even a single spell breaker (a strong combat mage) that we know of that associates with him and I see no way for him to be able to do these things as there would be too many questionable plot-wholes. And if it's truly him, I just hope that he didn't get innumerable amount of convinces happening to him out of thin air or for plot convince.

and yet Vastor's abominations are thousands of year old monsters that surely would have many tricks up their sleeves

We know that the person behind this is a person in a blue archmage cloak, and that they are a member of the kingdom. Thrud is none of the above, and she is too busy preparing for her war and she is approaching labor.

Let's be honest there is probably no reasonable explanation for this. Everyone just turned incompetent and the bad guys somehow grow a five head with an IQ of a 10,000 for the plot's convince.

there may be counter arguments to what I'm about to say but I'll say it anyways I think that all of this balkor card thing is stupid because no matter what at the end the person behind it all is merely an archmage and even if he got assistance from others how is this supposed to be better than the whole kingdom and their best people and the firstborn who is searching for him oh and the master and his organisation is after him too

100 pounds is only 45 KG or 7 stones or 1600 ounces which honestly isn't much

It's Manohar! Why I said this you ask? Well I said this to have a different opinion from everyone else, plus if it's truly Meln or Derius like some people have said that'll be very boring in my opinion. Anyways we all know that both of them are as good as dead and to have them kill Lark I feel that like I said before it's boring and a waste of maybe an interesting story

aren't small apples just not ripe apples? shouldn't they be green or yellowish then?

honestly I hope Bryce gets caught entering the 14th castle but for some reason I'm getting the feeling it won't be so because of "plot development" and we'll simply see a battle between Bryce and Quinn both using ultimate blood control and shadow ability. really hope I'm wrong

what 10 years?? it happened at most few months ago. stupid author.

See this! I just gifted the story: A load of nothing

They are a continuation of a story in some way, fortunately they can be read separately as each book has its own protagonist and story. However it will spoil some but not much of the story and events of the previous books since the books' stories are in the same world just at a different time. As an example the events of the second Combat Continent book are a thousand years after the events of the first Combat Continent book. Of course there are some books that happen in a different world (the not Combat Continent books) but they too eventually get joined together in one of the author's latest (?) books. (I am not entirely sure if you can call it latest but whatever).
