A Grand Finale! Soooooooo very, Very good!

Ohhhh! Wow! What a Grand Finale! A true no-holds-barred 5 star, yeah count 'em ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ fighting and leveling Rabble-Rouser! Sam realizes that he can't do it on his own, not any longer. So he fesses up all his secrets, actually afraid of their reaction. And in actuality they do what friends do rallying around him, getting the whole world on their side!
So grab the book and watch the world Clash with the Demon King!

Here's a couple of quotes:

"...Guildmaster Redfield, and she had to be careful not to open the wrong drawer in case she wanted to be accosted by the old man’s never-ending collection of erotic romance novels."

“I also told you that Sam would take our well-laid plans and scribble all over them.”

outstanding series

Following this tale in the series and seeing everyone grow was so much fun. Our heroes face the final battle with courage and determination.

As usual Jakob Tanner has a firm grasp of pacing & flow that makes it difficult to put this book down. This feels like a fitting ending to the Second Chance Swordsman saga but I really hope there are more stories to tell in this corner of the Tannerverse.

If you haven't yet started reading this epic fantasy LitRPG progression series I suggest you do so immediately as it is amazingly powerful, with great characters and with this book 6 we have now reached the end, and boy what a magnificent ending it is! I love that Sam, the orphan boy who had been given a quest by the goddess herself to return from the future, to retain his memories in order to prevent the annihilation of Westria goes all out to do just that. Sam comes back with a vengeance, trains to the utmost of his ability, as he refuses to once again see all those he loved lost to him. He saves many a catastrophe, but is now facing his biggest challenge and biggest treat Westria is to face. He is to come face to face with the demon king, the one who wants to destroy their world. Sam trains like crazy, as do all his friends and colleagues. and he brings together all the factions of Westria in order to stop his nemesis. Will he become powerful enough to do so? Sam will accept nothing less, will never give up on saving those he loves. This book gives us the epic ending we deserve and expect from such an awesome author who has kept us on our toes right through the series. The book is full of adventures and daring exploits with a bit of romance and hope for a better future and I loved it.

Time well spent

The conclusion is finally here and Sam has nearly ran out of previous knowledge with only the finale to save the world. Despite this the book is brought out with lots of small bits to set the scene and bring it to a satisfying conclusion. Great to follow this series and hope that Tanners next project showcases the same talent.
