Having vanquished dungeon five, Quintasia Academy welcomes Seven and his Forlorn Hope.
But it’s not going to be plain sailing.
Seven finds himself bonded to Califire, a hexblade created in the evil pits of Nythrondor, which isn’t quite the bargain he had in mind. Plus, while they battled the final dungeon, Snitch upset a gang of locals including orc enforcers. But he did finish their guild headquarters. Unfortunately, Seven will get no rest as a teacher named Sanya Soleil wants to see him urgently. And there’s worse, shunned by all of Quintasia’s respectable guilds, Geraint joins a shady shadow guild called Crow where he rapidly gains power. Even with all that about to swamp him, life is still good. Keller, his first love, is by his side, along with Tamereth, Sinta and Jez. There was a time when Seven could only dream of having one girlfriend, and now he has four. Not only that, but the rather over-the-top Eve is waiting in the wings, fluttering her eyelids.
Can Eve capture his heart? Will Sanya Soleil be an overbearing dragon of a teacher? Is Quintasia everything it seems? There’s only one way to find out!
A jumbled up mish mash of too many characters. WAAY too much time spent on characters other than the hero. The re-created bad guys get half the book. Enough for me. Books will be deleted. Jack Sprye and Sloss get cut from the list.
Continues well, and the character and story progression is very good. Lots of potential remains here, so hopefully book 4 doesn't take too long to arrive.
