Azarinth Healer #5

Azarinth Healer: Book Five

Rate this book
After her near-fatal journey into the Descent, Ilea returns south to check on her allies and lay some groundwork for unlocking her elusive third Class.

Trian is ready to start training the first generation of Medic Sentinels, the battle-healers of their newly founded organization, and Ilea is happy to join in as a teacher (of sorts). Hopefully, her work will pay off in the birth of at least a few mini-versions of herself.

By day, Ilea teaches the Sentinels her way of fighting and training (resistances), and by night, she applies the principles to herself. She explores supposedly very dangerous dungeons in the south and exposes herself to all manner of magics and traps, as every increased skill and resistance will help prepare her for the coming of her third class.

It is a good routine; as long as she has mana to heal, the numbers will go up.

However, all good grinding sessions must come to an end, the invitation of a powerful order soon pulls her back into the conflicts of humanity and beyond. With new powers and allies, she flies into a kingdom on the losing side of a war and finds things are not quite as they seem...

Perhaps punching a lot of things really hard will once again prove to be a viable solution.

It is so pleasing to read a book that has confidence in its convictions. It doesn't need to announce the beauty it describes, it just describes it and lets the beauty speak for itself. Might be my favorite installment yet.

I keep enjoying this series more the more books I read. The characters are interesting, the stories are fun, and while some of the decisions our main character makes aren't ones I'd have made or preferred her to make, it doesn't take from the experience.

She, of course, gets stronger and stronger, and even harder to kill. But she also meets strong enemies everywhere, and strong friends as well.
I do enjoy her making friends where she goes. She's easygoing and not corrupted by her power, and that's rather enjoyable. As is her love for food and sleep, I have to say. Very much enjoying those character quirks.

I'm very much looking forward to the next books in this series. Sadly, I'll have to wait quite a while. Though I'll most likely re-read these books a few times in the meantime. This will definitely be one of my long-time favorites.

Just a good, solid entry in what continues to be a fun series. There’s not much more to this than “numbers go up and people get stronger”, but it’s done in such a way that it doesn’t need to be more than that.

Писнало ли ви е от заплетени, претенциозни фентъзита, пълни с интриги, сложни човешки взаимоотношения и връзки, тайнствени и древни загадки, мрачни пророчества и други отдавна издишали клишета на жанра?

Спомняте ли си умиление книжките за Конан, дето главният герой (демек Конан) изрива като булдозер де що има вражеска гмеж, наебава де що има секси мадама и накрая се възправя полугол, мускулест и омазан в кърви (не негови) и въздал справедливост, върху планина от черепи на злодеи и чудовища? Да, аз също си спомням.

А искало ли ви се е тия книжки да не са 200, а примерно 7000 страници, Конан да е слабичка мацка и да пребива вражеската гмеж с голи ръце, да наебава не само секси мадамите ами и някой секси пич помежду другото, и след непрестанните битки да се възправя обвита в пепел и омазана в кърви (не нейни) и въздала справедливост, върху планини от трупове на злодеи и чудовища?

Да, и на мен не ми беше хрумвало, че може да искам точно това, но се оказа че го искам и още как...

A better book than the others, but still just leaves you feeling shorted. A repetitive, one-dimensional, and overall boring series.

Finally we have not one, but three side characters who are legitimately shady, but none dislikes MC of course. So some progress on the fact every side character is the same, just not much.

The episodic nature continues, so does the endless leveling. I’ll never complain about the steady progression in this series, it’s one of the only things I like about it. That said, I’m concerned about MCs level of power now as with the world-building stating she can only level by taking on much more powerful opponents, her level now of 450s mean she’s can easily take on an entire nation by herself. This is really going to limit the stakes, tension and possible avenues for future storylines.

We had the beginning of what I was believing could be the best episode in the series yet, taking on the healer cult bent on sacrificing people for a ritual. THAT sounded promising. But it was rushed, totally OP dominated, and then was turned into this other-realm part that really just followed the repetitive patterns of earlier episodes just in another realm. That had a good fight to start, then the rest of the entire book was just MC leveling in this realm before it became uninhabitable and then rescuing some of its remaining awakened beings to her realm. And for what the third time, maybe more, the MC rescues someone and pawns them off on some community she’s befriended.

This series is nothing if not endlessly repetitive.

We also repeat the tradition of taking on too powerful opponents, barely escaping with her life, then vowing to return. She does return in this book for a short episode to the telhian dungeon from the first book and wrecks shop, totally clears the dungeon, hints at future episode in that as well. As with the return to finish business with the demon king dude last book, it feels rushed and short on payoffs.

Overall this series is a 2.5. Reading this makes me believe literally anyone can make money in this genre, and it’s even got a publisher, an online one but still. I don’t see it. I mean the dude’s tag is “Rhaegar” like Dany’s dragon from Game of Thrones. That’s the level of creativity with this author and it shows. Man I gotta write a book, easy money.

ILEA'S ADVENTURES TAKE HER TO UNKNOWN HEIGHTS - AND REALMS BEYOND.

And so I have completed my binge of Azarinth Healer, for now. It's hard to continue when the next book isn't released yet after all.

Ilea - or Lillith, now, as well - has come a very long way from her humble beginnings as a lost young woman from Earth, isekai'd to a world full of deadly monsters and a System capable of granting anyone power. Book Five propels her from hero to legend, packed to the brim with fantastic action sequences, phenomenally entertaining characters, vicious beasts, mysterious rituals and alternate worlds.

So, you know, Ilea has to try and punch it all.

Seeing Rhaegar's prose where it is now versus where it was at the beginning of the series is a wonderful example of a writer's hard-earned growth, which in turn has fueled these last two books enough that Azarinth Healer has become a true favorite of mine.

I'm excited to see where things go from here. After all, while Ilea has grown powerful, there is still a path to further power ahead of her, with plenty of plot threads still around to keep things strong for a long while.

I can't wait to see where it takes her.

P.S. I would DIE for Endless Meadow.

Read the whole thing now, first from the books and later from the older RR version, and my review is for

The author is amazing at world building, making you interested in the different cultures/ species of the world, and making you want to learn more about the places and people discovered during adventures. I especially love the stories discovered during the adventures (Tremor, the Taleen, the mixed city and it's fate etc). The classes and levelling system are also interesting, despite Ilea's extreme shortcut to power (within the world's power system), and the fact that it took her 7 years, instead of the usual multiple millennia. She's a LitRPG protagonist after all xD.

However on my gripes: many of the characters and side perspectives in Ilea's personal life (everything ranging from the Sentinels, Cless, Claire, Trian, Felicia etc) I simply didn't care about and simply skimmed. I assume this is normal over 900 chapters, but towards the end I felt like the wonderful adventures and different characters involving the vampires, with the domains and oracles, the mava and the desert, the hidden city etc, we're cut short because of this. Maybe I am wrong though. Also yet again... Come on... 7 years??

I loved the books overall though and it's good fun :D

Pretty good, but it's the first of the Amazon versions where I think it's a downgrade over the original Royal Road version.

The first couple of books were definite upgrades due to the rough writing of the original series early on, but at this point the Royal Road version was already pretty well written and the parts that got removed just make the story worse imo.

The cruelty from the bad guys in the war arc was toned down a lot, which made it all feel pretty flat. The same goes for the entire personality of The Destroyer, who went from psychopath to just slightly annoying.

They're not huge changes, but definitely noticeable . It's still a lot of fun, but the original was just better here, which kind of sucks.

Ilea is at it again. There's several books coexisting in this nearly 900 page volume. Talk about getting your moneys worth. While book 5 starts a bit rough, Ilea is so over powered that it requires some mental adjustment to adapt to her masochistic balls-to-the-wall approach to leveling, soon you're caught up in narrative flow. This is one hell of a book. Rhaegar explores some extreme territory here with Ilea enduring insane amounts of damage, adventure, and risk while reaping huge benefits for herself as well as her friends and pupils. Ilea's propensity for sticking her nose where it doesn't belong makes for a very entertaining journey.

I had forgotten how well-written this actually is compared to most LitRPGs out there. The story is great, the characters are well-developed, and the plot keeps moving at a steady, engaging pace. Best of all, these are full-length books—not like some of the 15-chapter ones I’ve been seeing lately.

Despite their length, I never felt like the story dragged or had to skim ahead. It’s truly one of my favorite series.

My only complaint is that the author seems to take about a year between books, which makes me forget some characters and takes a bit of time to get back into the world. That said, since the books actually feel properly edited , it’s understandable.

Great, but didn't enjoy all the content cuts from the original

I feel like the time between entering Baralia and then entering Erendar got very much short-changed. A lot of development to personalities and some side stories seemed to be cut out wholesale. Other than that portion of 3-4 chapters (that should have been at least 2-3x the length, imo), and some other cuts involving the Sentinels, it was a very enjoyable read.

Hate to rate this 3 stars because it is, broadly speaking, fantastic. However too many pieces of the story were removed for my tastes. Thank you for this updated version of the story!

Meh

It just feels like the author has no idea where to take this series, he the MC is thrown into random events that really have minimal to no risk.

All we have progressed to is. I hit monsters. I grow strong.

What is the end goal? Why are we on this journey? Is there even a point? Or will this just be another one of those series with no end in mind and the author will write until interest wanes and then it will fade into obscurity

Overall this book was a struggle just to get through. It was just more of the same with little of the magic that made the first 2 books so good

The Best One

The story continues and the adventures are continuing for the Ashen Battle healer. Time with monsters, The Golden Lily, and a new master monster.

The healer makes some new friends along the way as well. I do think that this series is as close to the female version of DCC as you could get. Both humor and fights along with new adventures. Very different world but the main character is starting to get to power levels never seen before.

Great story for the 5th installment of the series.

I like it better when she's off on adventures and not getting caught up with people and people drama ugggg. Not going to lie I skipped through first 4 chapters I couldn't care less boring 😴 chapter 5 yes back on track hopefully won't have to skip ahead anymore. We'll I ended up skipping around this book like a kid on a sugar rush 🤪 I loved this series first 3 books but then it was just to much going on and it lost the adventuring angle and turned into the wars and struggles of others which I just didn't care about so it made me lose interest so disappointed 😔

This the audiobook version felt curtailed compared to my recollections of the original web-novel. I'd swear details were missing.. I don't know maybe I'm just imagining things.

Its still a nice book though well worth a listen. Sadly these books are taking ages to get published and that is another downer. So here's hoping the rest of the story turns up faster in everyone's personally preferred format!

Much like previous volumes, a mix of interesting world building, decent litRPG and entertaining characters while we follow Ilia's journey of searching for action and making friends in the strangest places. Also like previous volumes, some of the stats get a bit repetitive, the numbers feel a bit arbitrary even if the skills themselves are not and at least to some extent it is explained in world, and some of the fights in my opinion drag on. Nothing major though, met expectations, solid read.

Good MC. Interesting worldbuilding. Lots of monster fighting action and character progression. A good recipe for a LitRPG novel.

Another solid installment. I felt like this one got back to the successful formula a bit more. A couple of the other books in the series have felt like they dropped the litrpg element for big chunks of the book. The prose flow well and the story is uniquely episodic while still being engaging over the course of a pretty long book.

This series has grown to be one of my favorites. I ran across somewhere that called it "epic power progression" and nothing could be a better description.
It hits all the points I'm looking for in a book. main character who is a bad ass, aggressive progression of the main character's powers, characters who don't wine and suck at life, and comedy sprinkeled throughout.
If you haven't yet pick it up and read it, you won't regret it.

Could barely put it down just so I could do work

Another novel in the series and which I could barely put it down I highly enjoyed reading about Lilith/ilea again and the adventure she gets up to you and the friend she makes it's interesting seeing her have interactions with people around the same level as her and the difference in personalities and how they interact with the world around them

Azarinth Healer 5: Lilith Fayre (feat. The Shady Avengers) vs. The Dark Side of the Moon

Numbers still go up like crazy (up to level 450 and the third class), but the ever-increasing powers are used for plot purposes more than usual for this series.

Ilea's likes include: doing good, helping friends, wrecking evil, punching above her weight, other kinds of punching, destroying food, chuckling ("I'm in danger") and enjoying the wondrous world she's been isekai'd into.

Awesome LitRPG

Truly this series is amazing and awesome. Usually the story line gets stale and uninteresting by book 3 or 4. However, Rhaegar continues to enchant readers with his words and story telling. Looking forward to the next book. Also I like that this is female MC centered LitRPG, in a genre usually overrun with male MCs.

Tears!

Why did it have to end! Not the journey just the book..
I love the story but I'd love to see the stats go away. Mention new things, like actual new things not level ups and leave stats at the beginning and the end of the book.
Otherwise I still have fun reading this series.

gonna be honest at the time of this review I'm only half way through and it's worth five stars already. when u work in a prison setting and barely notice them about to fight till last minute you know the book is good I'm burning through this one so damn fast. this series needs a tv series or movie adaptation for real.

Excellent series...

... so far? I enjoyed all five books; the growth of the MC and her interactions with the different powers and beings in her world was a pleasure to follow. I appreciate that these were well-written stories with interesting world-building, too. I'm hoping there will be a sixth book.

One of the best book series I've ever read

Man this book series was refreshing and incredible! I absolutely love Ilea. I've read thousands of books and I would rate this series in the top 5 of all time. I love that they are 600 to 800 pages. I'm a fast reader and it still took a while to finish this. I really hope the next book is released soon because I feel lost now! Great job
