Dragon Heart #5
Sea of Sorrow
While crossing the desert with the caravan, Hadjar got involved in the search for the library of Mage City, where the elixir that could turn a person into a god was stored.
After fighting against the desert bandits, he and his friend Einen suddenly entered Underworld City thanks to Serra’s amulets. How many stories and legends he’d heard from South Wind and Serra about it!
How many times had he dreamed of coming there and talking to the Sage? How will this mysterious city welcome Hadjar? Will the underworld’s residents become his allies or his enemies? Will he finally find out what the ‘true path’ of cultivation is? Will he be able to find the elixir he needs to become a god and make the Jasper Emperor answer for his mistakes?

Ugh... how many times are you going to burst my bubble, Klevanski?? I had all these ideas of Hadjar adopting little Serra, but no... the bubble has been burst!
This was a pretty good read though, aside from Little Serra. I thoroughly enjoyed the action and the wonder of the Underground City and Mage City, respectively. Every time Hadjar gets someone wiser teaching him a lesson, it's always so full of hardship for him. I can't see through the struggle but I hope the next book makes it clearer for me.

Amazing entry
Without providing spoilers, the book was easily one of my favorites I think he series. I am both happy and infuriated with this boom as the author deftly left us, the readers, on a precipice. The cliff hanger was artfully done, and at the same time I curse the author for it as I cannot wait for the next installation. So both a thank you and and a curse to the Evening Stars are deserved. Fantastic read!

More good reading
One thing I enjoy with this series is the cinematic fight scenes. Reincarnated from earth, he's a bit of a thoughtful Conan. Good cultivation and an adventure hunting for the lost city of the mages, it's an exciting tale. I did enjoy book 4 more, this one is a good read. I'm looking forward to the next one.
Score: 8.0 out of 10

Pēc ilgi kārotās vecāku slepkavības vaininieka atriebības sasniegšanas, Hadžars alkst sasniegt Dariusas impērijas zināšanu centru un uzlīmeņot savu kultivācijas spēku jo lielāko. Bet Dragon Heart sērijas pasaule ir tik vājprātīgi liela (vai maz ir apaļa planēta?), ka ceļš, lai to sasniegtu, pats par sevi ir iekšējā rakstura un spēka izaugsmes stāsts, kas pirmkārt mērojams karavānas ietvaros cauri milzu tuksnesim.

I hate trying to write reviews because there are really only pass/fail results for me. Did I make it all the way through? Yes? 5 stars. No? There would be nothing here to read. In all fairness, if an author holds my attention from page one to the end, they’ve done their job. Anything less than 5 stars is petty criticism from someone incapable of even doing the job let alone doing a better one.
So in respect for the author and their work, I am going to start pasting this along with a generic review I found somewhere. “This was a fun book. I am glad that I read it. You should try it too.”
Now, since I have to keep explaining myself to people who don't like my reviews, I guess some clarification is in order.
1. I am 100% against criticism for works of art. Art is subjective, meaning reviews are irrelevant. The observer's opinion is only relevant to the observer. It is my belief that regardless of what others might say, I have to experience the art for myself.
2. I read upwards of 20 books a month. The $10/month I spend on K U, feels like I am cheating the authors. But since I can't afford 20 books a month if I were to purchase them directly, all I can offer is a positive review. That leads us to the final point.
3. If I get to the end of a book, then it was worth my time. I give those books 5 stars because it helps the author get exposure. That is the only reason I write reviews at all.
I understand that people are people and they are going to do what they do regardless of my stance. I know the way that I review books upsets some people. I am sorry they feel that way but as many have said, they will just ignore my review going forward. In fact, if you made it this far through my review, you should definitely read the book and completely ignore all of the reviews here. You are a much better judge of what you will like than anyone here.
Cheers

So if you've made it this far, I'm sure you know exactly what to expect and you'll be right.
I guess the plot is still enjoyable, but I really struggle with the battle sequences. I can't tell if it's a translation problem, but it feels like the author thinks that they are epic, but they are actually repetitive and uninteresting. Hadjar bleeds a lot, consistently underestimates his opponents, uses half of his (apparently infinite amount of) energy without much impact, etc. That's okay though, I've learned to just skim through battles looking for the next dialogue which saves a lot of my time.
At this point I'm committed to reading them all on KU.

5 books 5 stars
I read a lot. It’s a blessing and a curse. I am able to dive into worlds and live adventures only found on pages of books. But then as all readers do, we find ourselves back in the real world and have to find a new adventure to live in.
And that brings me to this series. It has been a long time since I have found a series that truly has kept me up at night and not gotten old. This series is absolutely incredible. I have found myself reading every word literally at the edge of my seat. The battles are great. The scenery is stunning. But it’s the pain and loss and triumph that makes this story burn itself right into your soul.
The deaths and losses are such a hit to you and the main character that you honestly feel them hundreds of pages later. And are only overcome by the triumphs and love that bursts from the ashes. I could seriously go on for so much longer. But I will finish with this - if you are looking to escape to a world that is vibrant, incredible, full of magic and loss. Adventures and betrays. Monsters and warriors....and a tiger kitten. Then read this series. I promise you won’t be left wanting.

Similar with book 3, drama for the sake of drama yet again. Some idiot hot-head wants to kill MC because she thinks he killed Serra (from earlier books) and he doesn't want to swear on their magical dagger blood swear oath something because he thinks it might be his fault. Maybe she died indirectly because of him but why doesn't he just swear while telling the facts? It's not like it was his decision to bring her to battle, if the hot-head still thinks he's to blame, then fine, but why drag this stupid drama out? The longer it dragged the longer it felt that the MC was just being a mopy idiot. He's what? About 30 years old in total? You expect that behavior from a child or from another mistake the author made. Drama is really not the author's strength. Every time the hot-head was confronting the idiot MC it just left a bad taste in my mouth on how idiotic the whole situation was.

Sea of Sorrow is the fifth book in the Dragon Heart series by Kirill Klevanski, and it is the weakest one so far. It feels like a story in the process of rewriting itself, and not for the better. The Mad General plotted far seeing stratagems and ploys, his morality was gray to black at times, his story was one of incalculable devastation that made even the battlefields of the World Wars seem tame. Now? I feel like I'm reading a young adult series.
Hadjar is now a simple man, no good at scheming or words. Gone are the days where he was an artful manipulator.
Hadjar once seemed like he would do anything for his family and revenge, but when offered a chance to have it all back for the simple price of not going to a place he's never been before, he refuses.
His mother, who used to be a character who wanted desperately to keep her son out of the war of cultivation and sang lullabies with a twist to baby Hadjar, was now someone who knew he would become a cultivator and the only song he can remember now is about the Black General.
Far from teasing information about the Black General, Hadjar's entire childhood is now wrapped up in the legacy of the Black General. Even his childhood masters are connected to this.
Power scaling is going a out of wack as well, with Hadjar reimagining the Black Sect's master as weak in combat, nearly dying to an ordinary heaven soldier, and then fighting spirit knights for the last quarter of the book and obtaining 11th hour power ups.
And I'm not sure I understand the risking it all for an immortal machine that looks like a girl, nor do I really get why the author wanted to wrap that up with the Black General's legacy. Not only does it look like the Black General named the girl, Hadjar's own name seems to be borrowed from the Black General himself.
So, I'm torn.
It reads like Klevanski wanted to set up a driving narrative force, so he started introducing new concepts. Not content to let these new concepts sit on top of old ones, he chose to rewrite the old concepts to be more in line with the new direction. Hadjar is a simpler character now, and we'll have to live with it if we want to keep reading.
What the story does when it is not rewriting the itself is a mixed bag. Hadjar not simply explaining what happened to Serra was truly irritating. When I thought Klevanski forgot that he introduced blood oaths, he wrote one of the most contrived ways to keep the tension going. Sure, Hadjar blames himself, but anyone with half a working brain can work around that. Even a "The story I just told is true" after explaining would have been fine, and they actually use that later. How they resolved the problem was nearly as contrived.
Sunshine is also horribly cartoonish. Yes, he's a Spirit Knight. Yes, he's the strongest in the desert that he knows about. But he's a caricature, bordering on parody, of the rule by strength/survival of the fittest type of character. Its much too extreme. I also found it a little entertaining that Hadjar survived because of the laws of hospitality, laws that he broke multiple times when he was the mad general. His characterization at the last possible moment, and his connection to the golem, felt tortured.
Otherwise, a lot of what the story contains is good.
But that' the problem. The story is good, but also deeply frustrating. Its as if Dragon Heart lost track of its own plot. Hadjar and Sunshine's little chat at the very end of the book captures his rather beautifully.
About the only saving grace I can think of is that perhaps the Black General's influence is, itself, corrupting Hadjar. Perhaps when awakening part of the long dead general's power, perhaps Hadjar's memories and motivations became vulnerable to the Black Bird's manipulation. I would like that quite a lot, but who knows if that's the direction Klevanski will go in.

Disliked this book
The author spends too much time on essentially the same fight scene. Hadjar bleeds a lot somehow lives and then wins the battle in some “mad” way. It’s become very boring. Every fight scene has the same exact elements. I’m tired of the same introspection speech in every fight.
The author doesn’t write any dialogue. If he does its about some near death moment where Hadjar talks to his so called masters. Where he says tens or thousands of years at least twice, or it’s during a stand off where they have a pissing contest. Talk about repetitive.
The author doesn’t do a great of remembering what was already said. He contradicts things.
For example the appraisal of the stone. Early in the book it was said to be a okay spirit stone worth 1050 imperial coins. Latter he says it was un-appraisable and of impressive quality compared to what the sand spirits dropped. Not to mention Alpha vs king comparisons.
Short answer this series is the same book just different names. You know the protagonist is going to have some miraculous get out jail free card. Not to mention almost die in every fight. Learn a new skill that gets him out of trouble easily. It’s all very boring. And don’t forget the tragedy where some one dies or had something awful happen to them.
I’m done!

Aafter 5 books still a wonderful journey
When Hadjar first left his homeland and went off to the sea of sand, i thought the books wouldn’t hold up to the story so far. The loss of his 2 companions and a new journey was underway. However as the story progresses i find myself liking the story more and more. I read these are translated from Russian so I’m pretty impressed that there are few mistakes. They are there but less than in previous books. The one thing i hate about the story is hadjar’s addiction to tobacco. Maybe in Russia and in some other peoples minds smoking is a sign of manliness but for someone who works so hard on keeping his body in great shape and in tune so he can heal himself, why would he smoke so much? It shows how weak hadjar is. I’m sure many people wouldn’t agree with me but its my opinion and its how i feel. I love the story and the books however this one thing is a ‘cancer’ on the story for me. I am looking forward to the next book and this series has fast become one of my favs. I am also very happy the way this book ended, the reboot can begin! Can’t wait to see how it flows into the story

Still a great fun read! Slowed some bit more story plot in world building.
I'm still enjoying this story, however this was the slowest book to date. It took away the magic of the first four books because from the beginning the main character lost the ability to make his own decisions and all the events of the story were forced upon him and he had to just move with them, instead of giving you the sense of his actions were dictating where the plot line was going. There was a lot of world building and storylines added to this, and the main character progressed through it but it was a slow read at times to get through it. Also some of the battles get described overly to the point of excessive and the reader can lose their focus on what's actually occurring. I'm still enjoying the story, and although this is the slowest book to date it hasn't deterred me from looking forward to Future books.

Some mild spoilers in this!
I was convinced towards the end of the book that I was going to stop after this one. Very repetitive, especially with fights and how he overcomes it all after bleeding profusely everywhere. Fights also became more nonsensical the further it progresses, he should be fighting the people he does at his level.
Disturbing lack of kitty in this.
The very end when he finally gets back the neural network and is in the empire finally is the only thing keeping me going in the series. Progression has been super super slow, if it takes him this long to get to Spirit Knight level I’ll be giving up before it happens. It’s also nice to see this will be LitRPG again after three books without it.

Another solid entry into the series. I've reviewed each of the previous books until now, so I don't know what more to say any more. So I'll just talk about what I felt was different from the rest of the books.
In the reviews of the very initial books, I mentioned a couple of times that the writing somehow felt a little unnatural. Scenes shifted too randomly, dialogues were somewhat awkward. That is absolutely gone now. The scenes flow smoothly from one to the next. Dialogues seem natural, and there are plenty of them (especially compared to the first two books). This book by far feels as if written by a native English speaker. Amazing job by everyone responsible for this!
Other than that, I'll just say that this was a great end to the second arc of the story, and the ending was such that I can't wait for the next one!

My go-to series!
This is the book series whose story will always be the one I compare other adventure sagas to. If there ends up being a hundred books in the series I’ll read every one. (To the Author, I hope his lady love or a future lady love comes back into the series. A hero such as Hadjar needs motivation)

Better and better
I really love how this series just keeps getting better and better. There was a lot of good action, the fights are always great, and there was a lot of growth as well. I liked how the book ended and I am excited to see what happens in the next ones

Good read
I enjoy this series a lot and this was another great addition. While it was a good book I did find a few parts rather slow. It had a dungeon dive aspect which took a little bit to long. Overall good and can’t wait for the next.

Another great entry!
The series continues to impress me with its expansive and detailed world, with the MC developing in a believable way that is both engaging and a delight to read!
I can't wait for book 6!

An action packed adventure
Kirill Klevanski does it again. Action, intrigue, and more twists and turns than I was expecting. Hadjar doesn't stop surprising.
Can't wait for the next one!

Another quality book in the series
If you liked the other books, you'll like this one. Another enjoyable leg in Hadjar's journey and we get both deeper and more expansive in our understanding of the world he lives in.

One story arc finishes while another begins
Another great installment to the world. Great supporting cast. The one story arc is wrapped up, but the door is still open on the overall path. I will get book 6 when it is released

I am constantly amazed at all the creative traps and enemies Hadjar meets in his travels. Yet he diligently works out what he must do to keep on progressing. The battles are always interesting and exciting. Thanks for this installment, already waiting on #6!

Great adventure
This is a richly adventure with growth, intense human interaction and character development. I love the story, beware sometimes character dialog is interrupted with scenic descriptions and flashbacks.

Sea of Sorrow plunges Hadjar into darker, more dangerous waters, testing his strength and resolve like never before. With intense action, emotional stakes, and masterful storytelling, this installment is a gripping addition to the Dragon Heart series. Perfect for fans of epic progression fantasy!

Book 5 is a big one. We get many answers. Which of course lead to many other questions. But they are big answers. Lots more twists. Huge cover ups. Underworld and Mage City are real. Plus Einen can really fight.
Dragon Heart series continues to deliver.

They need to work faster on those translation. The story just gets deeper and the path longer but now I think the real fun is about to begin
