Age of Heroes #3

Return of the High Mage King 3

Rate this book
The continent is engulfed in war, and the Firelanders are hunting an ancient weapon that could tip the balance.

Since ascending to the throne, my life has been anything but easy. A shadowy puppet master is fueling the conflict between Manzano and Illythia, driving both nations toward ruin. In the south, Vivienne is my unlikely ally, but the beautiful blonde has made it clear that her loyalty comes at a cost I may not be ready to pay.

As if that weren’t enough, my former mentor Dario has embarked on a dangerous quest to claim the Orb of Light, a relic of unimaginable power. His goal? To awaken the Supreme Fire Lord, unleashing a reign of chaos and destruction unlike anything the world has seen.

The continent is desperate for a leader to unite them in this time of turmoil. I'll rise to the challenge—and I won’t let them down.

Ugh… nobles and Royals with huge egos are annoying AF! It was satisfying to see Connor putting them in their place. Dario awakening the Supreme Fire Lord was a fright but the appearance of the Father and the Mother was a treat. Giving the readers a sign that the good guys were getting it right.

Also, I really love Jade!

Well ...The story.at this point is disappointing as the new highland can only use just so.much of his power and he f!acks out and gets his butt handed to him . if were not for his girl.friends he would be dead ..Now he has to.battle the awakened fire God who already kicked his butt. He is good at collecting women for his Harem but has no staying power in a real fight and his big bad mages body just wear s itself out and he has no manna and no.power that can even hurt the fire God. . Makes one wonder what he will.do in the next book.
Probably one of his women will.have to.save him again .

The flow of the story and who the characters are has stayed true since the very beginning as has the development of this world!!! I can't wait to see what's to come!!!!

This series is one of my favorites

This book continues the upward trend of the series. There are lots of great elements in this one, and some threads are coming together. I look forward to the next volume.

sigh

As many of the stories that grab our attention can become more stilted and repetitive in later volumes, so it is with this one.The harem aspects remain interesting and engaging generally. I may read the next book or I may not.

Finally the battle between Avatar the Last Air-I mean, the last high mage, and the Fire Lor-err, Supreme Fire Lord, sorry. Anyway, this was like the start of the real story. Now on to the actual meat of it in book 4.
