Winter Trials
He’s told to save the world. To stop the death of billions. But the only thing he’s given is a chance.
Jim has saved his clan, but has become a wanted man in the process. His journey towards the capital must continue. He needs to warn the king of the danger his kingdom now faces, and Jim only has the support of his friends. Winter is trying to freeze them to death, the forces of darkness are on high alert, and the monsters are hungry. The hunt is on.
Jim must find a way to survive the storm. Even if his team does make it, Jim knows his enemies will be waiting for him to show his face once more.

About the author
Michael Head
8 books153 followersMichael Head is the author of the Threads of Fate series. He was severely injured while serving in the military, and used his time recovering to rediscover his love for books. After medically retiring, Michael went back to college to finish his degree and become a professor. When the coronavirus shut down his school, his wife encouraged him to finally take the leap and try writing his own books. He found his experience in combat allowed him to write detailed and realistic fight scenes. Those battles, combined with his attention to detail and ability to plan vast, elaborate, and comprehensive worlds, make for fast-paced and thrilling books. With, of course, the occasional touches of humor and sarcasm thrown in the mix.
He currently lives in Texas where his wife, who is still currently serving in the military, is stationed. His days are filled with hiding from their three daughters, two dogs, and three cats. He is also losing an ongoing war with the neighborhood squirrels, but he will continue to fight until the bitter end.

One step forward, two steps back...
So, I *really* liked the first book and jumped right into this one. First thing that hit me was how the sense of urgency from the first book was missing. Apparently, Jim spent the last year doing next to nothing. This clashed so much with the pacing and end of the first book I had to reread several pages to make sure I wasn’t missing something vital. Nope, Jim basically took a huge break from advancing the plot for no convincing reason.
Another dip in narrative that drew my attention was the rushed and silly outfitting of Jim’s adventuring group. He had a year to coordinate with them and outfit everyone properly, but instead he unrealistically cobbles together armor at the last minute while arming them like some anime weeb squad. Also, he claims that he wants to give them the best but doesn’t hand out any of the powerful artifacts he has acquired, cementing himself as a walking arsenal for the group by a large margin. He doesn’t even think to give anyone the simple healing focus that saved his life several times over, the one that took all of a few minutes to make in the first book.
As far as general writing quality, this is definitely a weak point compared to the first book. Most of the plot is basically a series of slice of life episodes that did little to advance the major story arc with large and jarring leaps in time. While there are some fun times along the way, Jim’s group is very two dimensional with little character growth outside of gaining power. This is especially true for Kory, who is mostly pushed into the background and isn’t even the designated hunter or scout despite having been a flipping scout captain. Without going into details, the battles also seemed generic and anticlimactic compared to the previous epic struggles Jim faced against the clan traitors and leopard nox. Finally, another issue for me was the ramp up of corniness in character dialogue. I like gallows humor, but this was just childish and often undercut story immersion instead of enhancing it for me.
In addition, a lot of story logic just feels off this time around. The kids now act like a crack unit of hardened veterans, while Jim’s planning and judgement are clearly less intelligent and ruthless. In fact, I would say he is down right dumb on numerous occasions with several emo level emotional episodes. And for someone hundreds of years old he’s a pretty mediocre leader, carelessly withholding vital information and guidance from his trusted teammates. Maybe this is all down to the author’s lack of life experience and research showing through with so many silly things. Maybe he had an excellent editor for the first book that caught most of this stuff. Whatever the case, it was a real chore getting through this story.
I’m sure there are people who really enjoyed this book, but it was pretty lackluster for me. This is incredibly disappointing, as I honestly loved the first book. I liked it so much I bought it even though I could read it for free via Kindle Unlimited. I’m still somewhat excited for the third installment... well, cautiously optimistic. I just hope the author put a lot more time and thought into it than he did with this one.

I am so disappointed, so very, very disappointed.
This whole book is a big buildup with no finish. There is no real plan with his to deal with the nox. The fights are ALL unbalanced and none are any fun to read. The acts of those in power are obvious. The plans to use those in power are ridiculous. The first book was a wonderful start to what could have been an exciting adventure. The second is a mess thrown together with no direction. I see no hope going forward with the third.

Very good
I’ve written a fair number of critical reviews. I’m excited to be able to leave a positive review in this case. This book was fast paced and fun. Although there are certainly some darker elements, the humor balances things out nicely. I like the MC quite a bit. He’s a bad dude. Definitely worth a read.

Broken rules
What I like about cultivation fantasy is that it has A hard magic system there means if somebody above you in levels you can't simply defeat them with tricks About only this series does not follow that symbol rule

Fantastic cultivation fantasy that continues to delight
April 1, 2021
Ended up picking it up on audible, the second book in this series is just as good if not better than the first book. As previously stated the premise of a 650 year old being reincarnated as a 10 year old kid brought some much needed freshness to the genre. Also the horse plotting to kill Donny is just hilarious

Notes:
Not as good as the first book & unlikely progress for Jim's cultivation. It did have a nice intro.

Fantastic!
I loved this book. The story is fun and engaging, and the characters are likable. There is a good mix of storytelling, action and comedy that really make the story entertaining throughout the entirety of the book. I can’t wait for the next book in this series.

The fun just keeps coming with this series. The stakes keep climbing as the narrative progresses, and it really is a joy to watch Jim and his companions grow in their combat prowess. Head continues refining the combat in the second entry of the Threads of Fate series, with all of the characters we were introduced to being pushed and tested in more dangerous ways than the first book. The introduction of new types of nox, particularly of varying power levels, as well as more information as to how they interact with the world and pick their hosts gave this book an added aura of mystery as the story went along.
Head is observably refining his craft as this series continues, with the dialogue, action, and exposition all showing marked improvement over the first installment of the series. The ending, and the grave danger one of the party has been placed in, sets up the next installment for a truly high stakes narrative. I am very much looking forward to learning more about Jim Roh's world, and to see the creative ways he will tackle the increasingly difficult obstacles he encounters on his journey.

MC is a little dense and over bearing of his own knowledge and does things during the story that shows he hasn't learned a thing of his 600+ years. Like turning your back on a enemy that is not down.
Also, the horse thing is funny, not funny. In a cultivation world, that horse would be glue. Minus 2 stars for that ridiculous mess.

Mess of Nonsense
After the great lengths the author went through to make the MC overpowered in the first book, here in book two the author had a change of heart. The MC, having only several hundred years to complete his quest, knows that he clearly must head off to fight the big bad before he cultivates any further. With a bunch of children to aid him. Because reasons. I am only scratching the surface of the continuous nonsense within this novel, but it isn't worth my time to continue. Just know this sequel is much worse than it's precursor.

This book was okay, but it has run into a problem that I feared might happen after reading the first book.
The problem is that this is a series that has a really strong hook, a character reliving his 600-year life, that is ignored in favour of telling a more traditional cultivation story. However, the problem with this is that the cultivation element is largely missing here because of the story's hook. The fact that the character has lived before and already made it to the peak of the cultivation mountain means that he doesn't have much to do in the way of cultivation. Sure he still needs to get more powerful, but so far his superior knowledge and talents have already made up for that lack of power, leaving this subplot with nowhere to go.
Therefore we are left with a book where the hook and the sub-genre are fighting each other rather than working together. The fact that the story spends more time on cultivation than the second life elements means that the thing that is unique about this series is being underutilised. However, at the same time, the brief elements that focus on the second life story neutralises the key strength of a cultivation storyline; a clear path to character and story progression.
The fact that these two elements are cancelling each other out means that we are left with the plot and characters to carry the story, and neither of those elements are a strength for this series. The protagonist is still quite bland and his friends are literally one-dimensional props just to give the protagonist some company as he moves through the pages.
So if the book is that bad, why a 3-star rating?
Well, the truth is that the book isn't that bad. Despite all of the things above, the story is still enjoyable and it keeps my interest. The action when it happens is fun to read about, the overall premise continues to be a really strong draw for me, and the potential of these books is something that still excites me.
What I am trying to say is that this series has all the right ingredients to make an amazing cake, but at the moment the quantities just aren't quite right so the cake isn't working. There's all the potential in the world for a tasty treat, but right now we're left with something that's a little bland, but there's a promise there for a tastier cake in the future.
Fingers crossed that the author perfects the recipe with future novels.

Was going give around 2 stars but more read more ridiculous annoying OP & contradictory becomes.
This mc is a joke way too over skilled can do anything easily his arrogance is huge & he's annoying. (Self centered. )
When said old clan leader was selfish for taking valuable pill (before he could steal it.) Made me larf he more selfish than anyone known even evil characters not as bad as him.
For instance gets offered 2 valuable items of 5 all they own yet he cheats it and takes them all for him-self with some bull story as to why tuck all, and keeps on doing it, never once caring that offers many offers need them more or as much or multi could benefit from them if left.

So basically if you are reading this you are most likely a fan of portal fantasy, so if you are just know that it checks the usual boxes. Stop reading reviews and just read it because just like any other portal fantasy you will enjoy it. Otherwise you should know that there are some issues with these novels.
My biggest problem with this series is how much it normalizes torture and murder. First I don't think killing in these series is avoidable or even terrible in all situations. I was in the military, so I understand that there is a time and place where that becomes a necessity. We had 10 reasons to use deadly force any one of which made it acceptable when the deadly force triangle was present. So there were quite a few things you needed to have prior to killing someone. Basically you always needed a bare minimum of 4 conditions and there was a short list that those situations could be comprised of. This author seems to think that his characters have some kind of moral high ground even when they will kill nearly indiscriminately with almost no provocation. After the threat has been completely neutralized is a perfect time to start slowly ripping someone's arm off. A small threat by another group that may or may not imply sexual assault is grounds to murder as long as the perpetrator in question had a manic gleam in their eye.
I read a lot of dark fantasy, and I don't normally have a problem with the MC killing other less important characters. I also have a problem with a mentality where someone blindly uses a code to not kill anyone for any reason, but to act like there is no issue with it seems off. The first book wasn't all that bad, it was an issue, but a minor one. This book was worse by a long shot, several times the MC and support characters would torture others as they killed them, or let them go. They would then look down on other characters for killing indiscriminately, even though they seemed to me to be just as bad. Anyway in general this was an issue for me.
Other than the above mentioned issue the book was good. I liked it more than the first in fact. The horse seems to be coming into its own as a side character. The women are starting to interact with facial expressions, and the bad guys are now about as deep as a shallow puddle. The magic is expanding and being manipulated in new and exciting ways. The power levels are fluctuating similar to an episode of DBZ. The story itself is also moving right along after a very Dusk til Dawn esk scene the rest was relatively original, by that I mean there was a tournament set up for plot convenience where the MC couldn't show off too much of their ability, but this allowed the author to highlight other character's above mentioned facial expressions. Chu seems to be getting darker, now laughing maniacally as he kills and maims people, even getting joy of the idea of killing. Travis might not be the best for this audible narration, I know that is a strange thing to say, but he has a certain sunny disposition that just doesn't work well with this author's mentality.
I know there are a lot of critiques, but overall it was super fun and enjoyable. The usual satisfaction and enjoyment of one of these stories, great narration if you like audible, and it had good pacing throughout. I listened to it for every available minute until I finished it and never really wanted to stop. To me regardless of flaws that is exactly what I paid for and received so here is 5 stars. Had I read and not listened it might have been subjected to editorial mishap grading, but since I listened to this one it didn't have that problem.

Loved it! Great if you love Cradle series
This is a really awesome cultivation series! In my experience there are very few quality series like this, the character development and action are well balanced and the plot is great! This is easily as good or better than the Cradle series!

Even though Jim is becoming over-powered I'm still enjoying this tale. It had several flaws though. For example, even though the Duke-level antagonist was possessed by an evil spirit, he fought with no additional abilities. I also feel that Jen's ability to tap into the power of the Gods, whenever he is on the brink of death, is a bit of a cop-out. A safety net reduces the audience's tension.
I very much liked the jealous and conniving horse.

A great sequel! Jim is the most badass 12 (Not quite..?) year old I've ever seen. I am curious how time will play out in this series as Jim has some 200 of these demons to fight and he's killed maybe...6 at this point.. Now I anxiously await the next book.

A solid second book for this series. What gives this a 5 is that I like the MC and am invested in what happens to him. That is a make-or-break issue, but it alone won't give an automatic 5. The rest of it just works and is well paced; the MC also doesn't take himself too seriously, injecting just enough humour to make it a more engaging read.
If you've read the first one, read this one. If you haven't read the first one, perhaps you should examine your life choices. I'm not the biggest fan of cultivation, but it's more functional here and not all navel-gazing (literally, I suppose) tedium. Seriously, these are excellent books within this genre, so I recommend them if you like this sort of thing.

Such a great story.
I almost burst my gut from laughing at parts of this storey. I highly recommend this series to anyone that enjoys a good story.

Another really fun book
I really liked book 2, it did have one issue for me though. Jim is starting to become a bit of a monologuer and I noticed him “bragging” to a lot of his enemies before they die. I like the first book where he just killed them then talked at the corpse. Still a great book nonetheless.

Even better than the first book
I enjoyed the first one quite a bit, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I enjoyed the 2nd one even more. Great action, funny dialogue, it is well put together.
Ready for #3 already!

I am enjoying the series. There is a little bit more humor here than in most cultivation novels. The horse that is trying to kill Roger is pretty funny. This story ends 2 years after the last book ended. The group is in the nearby city and or working on their goal to destroy the Nox and warn the people. Overall I am enjoying the series and the narrator for the audiobook does a very good job.

An Exciting Read
I really enjoyed this second book in this series. Started out a little slow to me but quickly ramped up the pace. If you haven't read any of the books in this series I highly recommend them. Looking forward to book three.

Nice gritty sequel
Very realistic gritty cultivation tale continues much to our delight. Really liked the fight scenes and planning. Looking forward to the next book. Well edited compared to so many of the other cultivation novels around.More power to the author.

Great story
Great story! Nice progression on it. Quick, without being rushed. Looking forward to see what else happens and more character development with his companions.

If you think of Jim as an 11-yr old, then you will find him to be a terrifying sociopath, but if you recognize him as a centuries-old powerful cultivator stuck in the body of an 11-yr old... then he’s an alright kinda guy!
Jim continues to do what he feels is right in ridding the world of the evils he accidentally unleashed. He has to learn his limits again and come to grasps with the fact that even in his past life he still had plenty to learn.
The arena element of this chapter of the series is really fun and puts the reader into action at all times. Plus there’s a little bit of creepy cave monster action, which has always scared me.

Quick and easy listen. Another Mary Sue main character, but I'm just gonna go with it. It's pretty entertaining, with tons of action and humour sprinkled in.
