Review after more than a year of reading. This story is great. One of my personal favourite things about this story is the world-building. From the start, you get introduced to various parts of society and the world as a whole, which gets further expanded upon as the novels continue. From different continents as a whole to the sectors within them and who rules them. Another great thing is the power systems. There are different ways to gain power in the series the main being essence and astral however there are many other ways as well. The 2 main paths are expanded upon nicely being true to warrior and mage archetypes whilst still being different. The professions in this as well are also unique and I haven't seen them done much before which is a breath of fresh air compared to general professions like smithing or rune making. The characters in this novel are also good. The main character is smart yet not someone who needs to use his mind to win every time which is nice as long scheming plots can sometimes drag the story down. The side characters are also great additions. They don't overshadow the main character by taking too much screen time however they add to the story without being a nuisance. The antagonists are varied and most of the time laid out nicely. Some times it feels a bit forced especially one in recent times but overall still good. Updates are fantastic with multiple chapters a day on average with good content in them and not pumping them out just to pad the count. Different to his last story in parts but still as great and expecting much more to come.
