Primal Conjurer #4
Primal Conjurer 4
With a legendary academy in peril, Ryn Xaven must decide who to trust.
Having dealt the devils seeking to invade his realm blow after blow, Primal Conjurer Ryn Xaven and his loyal auxiliaries now travel to the Clarion Flight the training ground for Clarion’s legendary valkyries. There, according to Nephale, a traitor plots to get half its students killed.
Fortunately, Ryn has the name of the traitorous valkyrie. Unfortunately, he soon learns other traitors are involved. As assassins attack him on the road and Ryn grows closer with Nephale, he also learns a shocking truth about the motives of the powerful mage who sent Nephale back to find him.
Every revelation Ryn unveils makes him question what he knows about Nephale’s dark future. Yet as the devils grow more desperate and his options grow more limited, Ryn must trust to his training, his experience, and the brave and powerful women he loves to save the flight academy... and his realm.

This series seems to follow a pattern for me: I thoroughly enjoy each book, but they all have one major issue and one small issue. But still... I enjoyed this one just as much as the others, and I'm incredibly happy that it hasn't fallen off like so many other authors do after a few books into a series. Rogan has kept consistency in quality and characters, but more importantly for me is consistency in story and worldbuilding.
My main complaint in the last book is that Ryn was an underwhelming leader, flip flopping between being strong and decisive and needing his auxiliaries to carry him. That's still true in this book, but it's not as severe. I'd definitely like to see Ryn carry a fight on his own without his auxiliaries having to save his butt; something to justify his role as primal conjurer and the special treatment/authority he's been given. A primal conjurer is supposed to be the most powerful of mages... so show us.
So my main issue with this volume is characters having a major case of The Big Dumb. After discovering several devil-marked at Clarion Flight Academy, the assumption is that there's likely more. Definitely a safe assumption. The issue is that they have no clue who it is, but they blindly trust someone to the point where Ryn happily locks himself in a room alone with them and the auxiliaries - whose main role is to protect him - raise absolutely no concerns except for Nephale going specifically to keep an eye on the devil-marked they know about. No one's suspicious, no one suspects, no one even remotely considers the possibility despite their experiences (especially Nephale). So when the inevitable happens it's not a big reveal or a shock... just a big facepalm moment.
My smaller issue is that one of the devil-marked gets off pretty easy. I completely understand the in-universe justification for it, but it just seems really weak and convenient because she's a LI. Or will be.
Still, as with the other books, the summary stays the same: aside from the above, the book is still fun, engaging, the characters are still there, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. One thing of note is that the party doesn't actually reach the Academy until 70% of the way through the book and everything happens pretty fast from that point. The rest of it is the journey there. That's not a negative for me, but like the slice-of-life nature of the first book it should probably be mentioned.

Good with Some Frustrating Gaps
First and foremost this was a very good book with an engaging MC and storyline.
My main qualm with the book and the second part of my heading is what keeps it from five stars.
[some spoilers]
It’s TOO conveniently wrapped up and abruptly ended. The MC gets the main devil marked and sets up for an intriguing next book, but the point of the 3 revealed devil marks at the academy in the end leaves a huge gaping question in my mind of what if there are more? It even SOUNDED like it was insinuated by the interrogated devils that there were more at the academy, but the book ending seems to take for granted that fact and makes it seem like the MC and his crew got all the bad guys and are just going to continue on with their next objective. No mention or even question from anyone if/who may also be devil marked at the academy. I feel like even a brief section explaining that the traitor devil pointed the finger at every culprit at the academy would’ve helped this (though it seems like they’d be smart to even question that information).
That small piece seemed like a home run of a book that just stumbled a bit before home plate. Loved the book, and would recommend, but this irked me.

I am liking this story but I am experiencing a deja vu while reading it. I find it quite disturbing the similarities with The Terminator movies. Having said that so far reading this book series is being a pleasurable experience.

It’s very weby in here. I will admit I was caught off guard. This story was not what I expected but it is quite interesting.

It was fine until Glory had made a deal with the devils which I was told was a black and white issue. So for her to join the harem feels wrong since she dirtied herself with devils.

Another great addition to the series
Man! What a cliffhanger and twist near the end. Great characters and amazing plot. Looking forward to the next one!

Really relate to the characters and can almost "feel" the reactions of characters. Danny does a splendid job of immersing the readers into the Promal world.

Very good book
This is a fine fantasy harem adventure novel. It is well written and edited. I especially like Aurie. I anxiously await the sequel.
