Monster Tamer #5
Fighter
Malem is emperor. He has an army of monsters at his command, and a harem of beautiful women at his beck and call. He should be happy. And yet he is restless. He yearns for the nomadic existence he left behind... the laid-back days spent roaming the countryside, sleeping under the stars, free of the burdens of rule. Careful what you wish for... When an old friend flees Malem's kingdom, bringing with him the secret to escaping the demon that binds Malem forever, our restless emperor must pursue. Unfortunately, this particular friend is not what he seems, and when Malem finally catches him, the man might just bring Malem's world crashing down around him. Quite literally. Sometimes, even emperors have bad days.

Lame ending
The whole theme about keeping balance ruins the story and helping banvil to live was dumb. You could have had the main character steal the balors power as he killed it but that would be to good. No we had to get this silly ending. So far this whole series has been just ok it could have been even better if you added more twists and for once give the main character different powerful enemies other than demons. It gets old him fighting the same kinda bad guys every book on and they keep allowing those bad guys to live so they can come back to spread more death and destruction later. That is ridiculous to say the least.

Well off on more adventures and this time we journey to the end of the world. Visit the wonderful world of the paragons and end up fighting them.
Great characters with realistic situations and lots of action and adventure.
I look forward to more from this author.😀

Very Entertaining
The most important question you can ask is it worth my time. I've read all five books; so the answer is definitely yes! The imagination required to write these stories is incredible. Action is non stop and the pace is quick. No boring moments. Definitely for adults only.

I don't understand this ending. I don't understand the book at all. This should have been a book where Malem focused more on finding a form of immortality and having babies. Based on how the last books ended. Why not just make it so he steals Banvils powers all the way absorbing his immortality and keeping his powers

So so
I waited till I read all the existing books before commenting.
These books are basically erotic fantasy. A little over describing of the acts. I guess I would call it sophomoric sex writing. Another bit that annoys me are modern day catch phrases and concepts put into a fantasy world. They stand out.

Malem must go into the Light World to find Goldenthall and Banvil. Many challenges are met to include the Gorgon and a Pegasus. Great reading with plenty of Action.

For the most part I was okay with the fifth book in the series. After chapter one I almost stopped, but decided to give it five chapters to interest me. It shortly sorted itself out, and I was able to continue reading. It was more along the lines of book one and two. My issues with the other books persisted in this one, so there isn't really much to say. There is a good resolution which is nice, this has been lacking in most the previous books in the series.
The action is good, the characters are the same, the writing and pacing is good. It is a quick read. If you made it to book five then no reason not to read this book. There isn't much to get out of the series though. A lot of books are quick simple reads and enjoyable, This was also simple and quick, but not always enjoyable. The main character and his relationships are very unlikable at points. Overall the parts involving women are all quite silly. This includes how they all can't withstand his charms, how they wear high fashion dresses into combat, and how they are all ruled by sex. It is at best annoying, at worst distasteful. For me it was a mixture of both, but not so bad I didn't finish the series. I won't be reading anything else by the author, but I gave it a fair shot.
The real perk to this series is that Luke Daniels narrates it. Without him reading I'm sure I would have quit after book one. He is one of the best out there, and he brought the series to life.
Though this had potential to be something I would like, the douche bag main character didn't make it possible. Add the built in mistrust of the main character, how the female characters are written, and parts of the plot that are broken or discarded for convenience, and it is just a so so book and series.
