Restart Again #4
Restart Again: Volume 4
The true threat has finally been revealed. An ancient order of heretics known as the Shadebinders has been revived, and their dark influence has spread beyond the borders of Kaldan. In the aftermath of their mission to the festering depths of Shadowmine, Lux and Lia have discovered the site where the Shadebinders will strike the frigid mountains of Doram. Forced back into a tenuous alliance with Valandra, the trio will need all the help they can get before they make their way north. Some help, however, comes with a cost; the voices in Lux's head grow stronger with every passing day, pushing him further into the depths of his new deathly abilities. An unavoidable decision is Is mastering the dark power of the Shadebinders worth the risk, or . . . Are some powers better left in the shadows?

This fourth instalment of the Restart Again series was a solid entry in the series. Not quite as strong as the third instalment but better than the second instalment.
The premise of this series is fun. Our main character, Lux, finds himself in a new fantasy world isekai style. The problem is this is the third time it has happened to him and he still has no idea why! There is also the fact that with three previous worlds and lives behind him Lux is getting frustrated about losing the folks he cares for in those other worlds. He is also growing tired of being caught up in the sort of Chosen One nonsense that has got him in trouble in his two previous worlds!
This 4th book had Lux and his team resting a bit, doing some more magic and fighting training, and then getting on the road to deal with the next artefact before it came with an issue.
The story was fine. The slice of life stuff and character relationships are the best bits of the series. The action can actually be really dull and boring. Which is weird as the premise seems like it should be a lot more fun what with the magic being fairly cool and with Lux having to deal with two weird mystery entities that constantly plague his mind.
This was OK but nothing special. I’ll read the 5th instalment if one appears in audio.
Rating: 3 stars.
Audio Note: I do feel like Alex Knox does a great job with this series. Decent general narration voice and very solid with the dialogue.

This series started out pretty generic, but has gotten successively better with each book. This one was actually pretty good, with a suitably epic climax, a decent mystery, and some pretty well handled character drama. The only complaint I really have is that the book does go on a bit more than necessary, making it feel long for the sake of being long in places. Had it been edited down a bit here and there to flow better and remove some of the dead spaces in the story, I'd probably have given it 5 stars.

It just keeps getting better.
Every time I open one of these novels, I am gripped by one thought... The ride will eventually come to an end. Like The connection between Lia and Lux, I am stricken with a feeling of emptiness that can only be filled by the next book in the series. If only it was already out and awaiting my purchase.
The whole series has been an intense roller coaster of emotion. I am so enraptured by The characters and the world, that I feel all of their love, jealousy, hatred, guilt, remorse... I feel it all intensely. I have found very few authors that can so fully hold my heart in the palm of their words. I am always left as depleted as Lux is by the ending.
I can't recommend this series highly enough.

I was reluctant to start this series, I had the very wrong impression that it was like so many others. But it’s unique in its own way and is quite frankly excellent.

This story of a guy with a mysterious dark power he has no control over going to different planets to destroy their dark powers was Fantastic.

I love this story
Another awesome entry into the series. Some questions answered, plenty more popping up. It's nice getting closer and closer to the truths behind Lux and his past and loving how much attention the characters got. Can't wait for volume 5

I love the most of the book, but the MC is starting to just be annoying. The sacrificial hero crossed with the fearful of my own mysterious power hero archetypes.
