Evolution is within reach, if only Alex earns it.

Alex is a shadowstalker, the darkness is her battleground and the fallen her food. After the raid destroyed the Forgers cloning facility, new doors open to her, but villains from the past arise. Ancient powers stir, and the world trembles.

When a distant portal offers the only hope for a reunion with Dengu, Alex and her allies are forced into the Labyrinth—where academies teach power, beasts stand guard, and dangerous bosses demand a price paid in blood.

Every floor conquered and mini boss slain brings her closer to ranking up, yet the ticking clock of the outside war threatens to turn her victories into ashes. As her broken build leads her astray, Alex must fuse the crystal song she knows with the rune craft she is just learning, forming something new.

Failure means Kabi’s world falls, but success might change her forever.

Readers who love kick-butt heroines and legendary classes will consume That Which Devours. Ancient powers are stirring, and the world is trembling—unlock the feast today.

This was a much slower beginning than the previous books but once it kicked in to high gear, it went like a ROCKET.

Alex's build is becoming more and more insane. The way she's just figuring everything out herself through experimentation rather than from a senior/teach is so great. Means she thinks outside of the box ALOT more than everyone else around her.

I do wish we had some Lenna POV's in this one. Would've been interesting to see what she thinks of Alex's growing build. It seems like her pathfinding build is there to complement Alex and help guide her forwards. She's also a moderating influence on Alex as she's not scared of her and fully trusts her despite her devourer status.

Kabi was a bit mopey in this one as he needs to make a decision on his future. I'm expecting him to pick some crackpot insane profession in the next one, that will also complement Alex.

I know, I just know, that Alex is gonna eat that ****** from the end. When she does, I'm gonna be there with pom poms to cheer her on.
