LAMPLIGHTER FOREVER - Vol III - Above the Drowning Light
For generations, the Pale swallowed cities, roads, farms, and graves. Monsters crawled out of it. Lamplighters walked into it anyway, carrying fire where no sane man would go.
Now Mars knows the truth.
The Wave wasn't an accident. The Pale wasn't a storm. Something made it. Something kept it fed. And if it isn't stopped, every peak city left above the drowning light will sink beneath the white.
Tahama has walls, guns, knights, mages, and prayers. None of it will be enough.
Mars has a lamp, a crew, and the kind of experience a man only gets by surviving jobs that should've killed him twice. He knows what waits below. He knows the cost. There's only danger below.
He goes anyway.
One last descent. One last light in the dark. One last chance to burn out the thing that drowned the world.
I liked the isekai-like action that doesn't go deep into the stat sheets that a lot of books do. I also like that this book finishes the story instead of dragging out the drudgery of everyday life like a lot of book series do today. I can see how this could have been three or more books if the author wanted to drag it out. The downside is that this book seems to go from one "action scene" to the next with important moments shoved in between. I liked this series and would definitely recommend it to others but I can also see why some people would want more from it.
dam fine book. good characters, good story, good premise, good author, good writing. I dont knoe if 3 is the end of the series, it feels like it could be. Its a good place to stop but id love more.
