The Last Paladin (Book #6):
The Last Paladin (Book #7):
It seemed the Empire’s upper crust was finally starting to grasp a hard the age of impunity was coming to an end—and that every action, no matter how veiled by privilege or title, carried consequences.
But even if some of the Princes had begun to understand that, accepting it was another matter entirely. Because for the most zealous among them, power mattered more than the Empire itself.
And if preserving their dominion meant igniting a war within the Empire’s very heart—so be it.
They’d burn it all down before letting it slip from their control.

Great characters but it's short
This book is one of the best in the series so far. Unfortunately there is a lot of things that finally get brought up about Markus' past that gets glossed over but is alludes to there being more to those stories later. It's unfortunate that I now have to wait until December to see more of what I feel should have been one book. That being said, the author does an amazing job with presenting the characters he uses in the book. I actually love to see the development of the more utilized people in the book. I just feel it was a little too short.

This gets better with each subsequent installment...
Marcus is uber deadly under his affable personal of friendliness, humor, and well disguised patience and calm. Still, he's absolutely likable and extremely intelligent tactically as well as almost inhumanly perceptive in reading or sensing others intentions, thoughts, and plans, which makes him formidable to fairly indestructible. I'd love a book featuring highlights of him in action prior to his forced exile for seven hundred years! Anyway, he and his people & friends totally rock these books...highly recommended, naturally. Full stars awarded!

Action packed - has become my favorite series
Interesting portal world under pressure. Overpowered but growing MC with a hero mentality - Looks after those under his care. Has a man's man sense of humor and an un compromising loyalty to those he values. Reminds me of my Dad in some ways. Mostly closed door but mentioned frequently. Mild cursing for the most part. I enjoy the MC & there's an unfolding back-mystery and a coming war. A true guilty pleasure. Can't wait for the next books and audio-books. The assitive reader has a long way to go with contextual pronunciation.

I received a review copy of this book.
The Last Paladin is book 5 in this series, and I have to say, it didn't really hit us with anything earthshattering, but it did certainly offer some subtle shifts in the narrative. The next books in the series should be interesting, based on where this one stopped. Looking forward to them.

Great edition to the series. Well crafted!
I thoroughly enjoyed this series, and book five was as fun and entertaining as any book in the series. The story moved along simply but with a complexity to the plot line that keeps you guessing. The main character maintaining his agency at all times is what makes the story work. Becoming one of my favorite series to be read every year over and over...
Great read, great series!

I typically, don't write reviews, but this irked me a bit. This is just up my alley. I love the characters love the setting, but nothing happens. Yes, things happen, but the book is so short that nothing has time to develop, no stakes for anything. Seems completely rushed. When the author relases a non abridged version I may be able to give it a reread as it is now, it seems it is all fluff and no pay off.

Draws you in
This world that Roman has created draws you into it like a magnet to iron. Not just the world, but the characters, the political intrigue, their interactions, the magic, etc. It's a well crafted universe. My only complaint is the length lol. It's not long enough. I devour the book in a day and then I'm stuck waiting for the next installment.

He's still trying.
This just gets better. This Paladin just doesn't quit. He can make the shadow people look so much better. But even more difficult was his rise in this group to become the prince. Now if he can just keep the rest of the family group's from destroying him or each other.

Compelling
Savarovsk’s storytelling is relentlessly inventive and fascinating, and his characters are compelling and interesting. And each book is more interesting than the last… really great stuff. Haven’t read fantasy/fiction this intriguing in years. Wildly different than anything I can recall.

Great book
Book is great again. The only problem is the price while the book is too short. This series and Hunter are both great but also too short for the price. I keep questioning if I will buy them but have done it so far. If the book was 600 pages then fine, but to finish the series out will have ended up costing a lot.

It *is* rather slow. He spends a lot of time visiting spas and engaging in bad soap-opera drama with multiple ladies. It's not terrible but a bit more action would have improved it a lot. As would a bit of progression on the plot. Simply having additional villains show up, waggling their eyebrows, isn't progressing the story!

buy this series
Absolutely riveting addition to the series. The pacing is so well done that each chapter your hooked. The cliffhanger is top tier. Really the writing and editing in general Id put at a 5 star consistency.

The books are still good. But not as good as they started out. MC is still over powered but now there are mcguffins explaining why he doesn’t have all his powers back. Feels like not much gets accomplished from book to book but is still a decent albeit pricey for kindle read.

So many plots
Seriously, everyone is scheming and they have no clue who they are plotting against. Their constant surprise at their lack of success is very entertaining

not enough plot progression
This book was a bit slow. It could have used more action and a more substantive plot. Also it’s starting to feel too much like a harem novel.

Intrigue indeed!
Fighting, alliance building, and betrayal, oh my!
This installment gave plenty of story and character advancement. Can’t wait for the next one!

Complexity and mystery!
I have to question every scene for hidden meaning. So unexpected in the plot twists its easy to get lost in the narrative. Can't help to be intrigued.
