One of the best books in the series IMO. The main reason I say that is that there was more of a balance with everything. For quite a few books in the series there have been huge parts of the stories devoted to large scale military action. This left out the parts that I liked such as crafting and leveling. Rugrat and Eric also took a back seat to the bigger story in the last 3-4 books. This one went back to basics almost exclusively revolving around Eric and Rugrat. There was cultivation. There was small scale fighting. There was crafting. There was some political maneuverings and a couple of large scale battles but those didn't overwhelm the other parts. There was a good balance of everything and I really enjoyed it.

This is probably the shortest book in The Ten Realms series. I liked the faster pace of the story though, and all of the action within the pages. It's exciting to contemplate Rugrat, Erik and Delilah with love interests... it's slow going, of course, because they do have a whole lot of fighting and learning to do first. I hope the next book isn't so short.

Pride can change perspectives, so keep an open mind
Pride can change perspectives, so keep an open mind when meeting new unknown people in a realm of fighters.
Rugrat and Eric are judged by the academy of the 9th realm’s current students and faculty. Except for one crazy combat instructor and his teacher, a gnome master weaver. They will have to fight to enter and fight again to stay and rise in the ranks.
They discover how little they really know about fighting in the realms through some appropriately brutal training that breaks them of some bad habits. Before their new trainer, Xun Liang, pushes them beyond their expectations of their abilities.
All the while the knowledge they’ve gained and researched is sent back to Alva to grow their abilities and strength. This causes problems they are not yet prepared to deal with. They both barely win their combat matches to enter and must train hard to stay. When suddenly a tournament is called for and everyone must fight for position, pushing the guys to put effort into testing their new abilities against the other academy students.
Until the invasion that is…

A return to the series roots.
Basically no different povs and a lot of character development for the two MCs I very much enjoyed this compared to the last several books. Only negative I have is the damn sheer wall of a cliffhanger it ends on lol

The author is milking it for all its worth
Damn the books are getting shorter and shorter. With the lack of quality one has to ask themselves if it’s worth the money.
The story is basically another tournament that is interrupted and makes it an unnecessary. Again a a lot of POV changes with fluff that doesn’t engages. There is some magic progression but not much. World building is so lacking I can’t imagine what the 7th, 8th or how the 9th real look like etc…
Bad cliffhanger. The ending is just a setup to buy the last book.

the windup
This book finally brings the whole journey into focus. Now we can see the end.
Slow training, building towards a tournament, capped off with major battles.
The next book should be awesome.
Grammar and spelling need some work.

A much needed revitalization of the series. Sadly it ended on a cliff-hanger.
It was satisfying to see Eric and Rugrat progressing again. As ever, their development was matched by the expansion of the known world... keeping the challenge always ahead of them.
I just hope the series doesn't get too bogged down in the foreshadowed romantic entanglements.

Book is exceptionally short and had some problems.
First few books in the series were exceptional, focused, and actually had a direction and purpose for actions and motivations. Plenty of stuff happens in this book for seemingly no reason, with motivations and previous biases being forgotten or strangely absent. Which unfortunately makes the characters read like puppets being thrown around to achieve a story purpose rather then people making choices that land them into the stories situations as a consequence. Now that I think about it... Emerilia had the same thing happen near the end as well, so my guess would be that the issue probably resides in Chatfields writing process/planning cycle. I think Michael may just have bit off more then he can chew and simply trying to move his characters into the position he needs them to be in for the ending he has in mind.
Main reason I personally keep reading these stories is that the world he has built is interesting to read about, unfortunately his characters and plot devices are pretty much non-existent at this point.

Unfortunately a bit of a rushed disappointment
I felt like this book was rushed in a way that the others weren't. While I still enjoyed following the MCs' journey, it felt like they never reappy accomplished anything and that the whole book could have easily been a 'side quest'-type novella between the eighth realm and the tenth realm books. I really enjoy this series and I hope the finale is able to come back and deliver after this.

Wow, most of the book is really just a training montage followed by a sneak attack and a cliffhanger ending. This series started really well but seems to get worse with each new book. Very disappointed.

Real rating 3.5
That may change to four I’m not sure. I actually really enjoyed this book over the last couple. It felt more like book 1. Not that I don’t love Alva. But it’s always nice to just have Erik and Rugrat being themselves kicking ass and taking names, and destroying themselves to do it.
But I have to say the sims of the storyline didn’t make sense to me and felt contrived. It also made me PISSED. It sounded very new agey and that’s not why I’m here. I’m here read about two ba military men forge their way to greatness.
Mostly I liked their master but he was SEVERELY wrong about them being hypocritical and that pisses me off. Yes, maybe they should forgive (and often times they do) but to say they were wrong for being angry and distrusting because they mistrust people too? Um no. Alva gives EVERYONE a chance to prove themselves. Now if you royally mess that up and try to betray and kill them then yes. They are much less forgiving. Which is not wrong it’s human nature and also just good self preservation. From day one when they knew NOTHING about the brothers their people treated them like crap. There was NO chance. And that may not seem like much but it makes them fundamentally different.
Honestly I could on but I digress. Besides that brow beating bs I really did enjoy it so I maaay change it to four stars… but that ending was just not….idk. This book was just swung wildly for me between great and being drivel. Sad…

Meh...not long enough
He makes it seem like Erick and Rugrat are progressing really fast but then seem nerfed AF against the ravagers and devours. A few paragraphs from the perspective of the black phoenix clan and them getting owned by the Alvin's and submitting to them would have been nice. I do like the relationship build up between Delilah and storbon , Erick and Rekah, and Rugrat with his elf wife, took long enough honestly. I also highly approve of the Emperor title for Erick and Rugrat. The first 4 book were probably the best but I'm too invested at this point to drop the series, it had amazing potential but somewhere along the line it derailed and now I just want to see how this all ends and be done with it.
He should honestly just turn Erick and Rugrat into Jedi Elemental and mana benders like in avatar the Air bender mixed with a little star wars "force" Hocus pocus. That would be bad ass.

Read in order
I am absolutely not a fantasy reader.
I'm just not. I didn’t get this one.
Readability.. 🌟🌟🌟
Content and storyline..(not sure it's good or bad) but not interesting to me..🌟
Characters..a lot of them to remember..🌟🌟
Violence and battles/fighting..🌟🌟
Let me explain...
This story was completely confusing for me, because:
1) this is part of a series, that needs to be read in order. I started here. My mistake.
2) I have no frame of reference about relms, levels, and what this fight is truly about.
and 3) there are too many characters and factions to keep track of, for me.
I read this book as part of a challenge, and my comments should not discourage you from buying this, as long as you have already enjoyed the previous stories in the series. (And you read and enjoy fantasy books.)
I didn't and I don't.
That is certainly Not the fault of this author!! That’s on me.

Pretty much a training academy book which reveals the overall plot a bit more.
Despite having picked up fighting skills here and there, Eric and Rugrat are handicapped by their lack of formal training which would bring their skills together and teach them to use it more effectively. So they head to Ninth Realm and fortunately land themselves under the tutelage of a master.
Good thing is that the story gets back to Eric and Rugrat. Bad thing is that the balance is off. The power levels between the Elves, the Academy Cadets, the ravagers, and Eric/Rugrat all felt mixed up with no clear context on power structure.
Ninth Realm gives more details on the world of realms and serves to lead the book into the tenth.
Get a feeling that post Fourth Realms, authors plot plan went for a toss and every books has been uneven since then. It's like things spilt out of control and this books has a rushed feel as the arcs come close to being tied together.
Decent read.

This is my 2nd read through of this fantastic series
This is just an incredible series. Its definitely a superior effort with awesome world building with an interesting cast of characters, both allies and advesaries. There are very realistic battles and preperations for battle, including intelligence gathering, covert operations, assassinations and military development. Just the entire package!
There is also tons of cultivation and magic theory combined with biology and physical sciences. Now lets add in an alien invasion from the shattered worlds to take it to another level via a sci-fi component. Just a first class story all the way.
My only reservation in this series is that our two MC's havent found a special someone to share their lives with, although they each had a near miss. Nevertheless this series was so nice, that l had to read through it (completely) twice. Sadly there is only one more book left and then its done, but what an adventure its it's been.

This went by all too quickly!
Everything changes in this book. The truth behind the Ten Realms is made starkly real to the Alvans and so many prejudices and preconceptions are challenged.
Much of this book is a montage of small scenes of Eric and Rugrat training and learning at the academy on the Ninth Realm. But the things that they learn, and the ties that they form are paradigm shattering. It is interesting to see that Alva and the Imperium aren’t that different, the Imperium simply tried to effect change from the top down, while Alva did it (better) from the bottom up.
I think that it’s pretty clear what Eric and Rugrat will aim to do, as their ultimate goal, in the Tenth Realm, but what will they attempt? And what will the cost be?

Another enjoyable read
I enjoyed the book alot, the use of timeskips to avoid repetitive training chapters was nice and keot the story flowing. We got to meet some new interesting characters and see some existing ones grow.
There is alot more focus on our duo main characters this book than some of the more recent realm books but that just makes the few other scenes more interesting.
Only odd flaw with this book was the seemingly easily spotted proof reading errors - some words had just missing letters or had numbers in the word e.g. 1Hey instead of they. I did report these errors when i saw them so hopefully they will be fixed for future readers.

Felt forced
I love this series, but this book and the previous felt forced. So many holes left in the book and huge to gaps of jumping. You could see it in the past book, but its vastly more noticeable in this one. If the next book is the last I will be pretty upset and won't even bother purchasing it knowing it was forced as well.
There was so many places in this book there could have been more development, and you would think it was headed that way just having read books 1-9. Instead you are left wondering why the author just left it in the air for us to try to figure it out.
If you hate gaping holes, don't bother purchasing this book.

This book righted some wrongs. I was not happy with Erik's cockiness in the last book. In this book he realizes his behavior is inappropriate and apologizes where needed. My respect for him took a huge jump upward. In addition to character improvement, there is the requisite improvement in physical and magical strength. Both Erik and Rugrat deepen their interpersonal relationships. Keep your fingers crossed for love interests in the last book.
One very, very minor hiccup that comes with self-publish, self-edit books:
1hey
1hen
(they, when) spell check doesn't catch typos if there is a numb3r in the text.

The best book in the series in recent memory.
I enjoyed this book far more than any in the last probably 5 books. We FINALLY get a book focused almost entirely on Erik and Rugrat! Alva is left to do its thing in the background mainly, which is where I’d like it to stay! We get some progression in cultivation for both our MCs, and we meet some new people who are pretty cool! And we get more history on the Realms and the whole setup finally as well as the Shattered Realms! Good stuff all around!

Another great read
I really enjoyed this book it's a nice continuation in the series It does a good job of focusing on the development of their powers laying the groundwork for further conflicts in the future with the big bad and good say more but I'd feel that that would take away from the book and you're enjoyment of it if you liked previous books and series you should enjoy this one. apologies for any spelling errors or bad grammar I'm just doing this review with voice to text to help the author.

Much more balanced. Way more entertaining.
A few grammar and spelling mistakes but overall really enjoyed this book in the series. Arguably one of my favorites in the series.
There was so much going on at once, I really liked that it narrowed down to Erik and Rugrat a little more. I love the lore and history of Alva but the past books were very heavy on the granular details of the Alan evolution. This book felt more balanced in that regards.
This is one of my favorite series and can't wait for the next epic battle. It's going to be some "5-star shit"!

Once again a masterpiece
I love how Michael’s stories have a lot of action in them and this one does not disappoint. I don’t see how he’s going to be able to close this story out with only one more book. The ninth realm has been taken by the enemy. They have no choice but to pull back to the seventh realm now. But with this book we once again got to see exponential growth in Eric and Rugrat. They are training in a new academy in the ninth realm and they have a great teacher. You should definitely read the ten realms books today.

The penultimate book sees Erik and Rugrat training at an academy in the 9th Realm and approaching the pinnacle of power. The book is essenntially non-stop training, duels, and grand battle.
If this book were any longer, it would be too long. As it is, this book and the next together amount to about one book's length, but what there is here is pretty good.
If you have gone through the ten previous books, there is nothing here to suggest that you shouldn't finish the series, but if this were the first book in the series, I might not have continued, because it's pretty slight.

So much better
I'd felt that the last two books were not up to the authers usual standard, not as detailed and there were gaps in the story but book 11 is right back on track , Eric and rugrat are forced to realise that their fighting style is ineffective and face a painful transformation, meanwhile they face the usual animosity and are forced to realise that they aren't so perfect.

Best Book of Series
I love these books. This story focused on Eric and Rugrats. There were many questions answered regarding the Ten Realms and beyond. Really enjoyed the progression of story. Only thing I'd love to see in future books is just a little more crafting from the two. The made cool or helpful things in past books. Love to see legendary or super rare equipment or conditions. Hope the series goes another 10 books.

Fork
Great book start was uncertain it pretty much immediately picked up the pace and immediately became put on par with every other book in this great series. The world-building and part of element that happened in there 9th Realm and their information about the 9th and 10th realm have picked up a lot and I think it developed really well and the quayside Cliffhanger left on is a nightmarish and I cannot wait for the Nextbook.
