The Apprehension of War
Now commanding a Dungeon, with people flocking his way like the salmon of Capistrano, Garath’s living large in his new position as king of the world.
He doesn’t exactly have it made, though.
City building wasn’t Garath’s forte with unquestioning NPCs. Forming a brand new society with real people, each with their own problems and motivations, is going to be his greatest challenge ever. Worse, a powerful enemy right in his backyard threatens to subjugate or obliterate humanity within his territory.
Being king of the world isn’t all it was cracked up to be.
In the third installation of Peril's Prodigy, we get our first look at the Sandrani, meet survivors of the apocalypse from near and far, explore the Dungeon’s many facets, and find out just how far humans will go to survive when pushed to the brink.
Final I’m going to be honest, there just aren’t going to be hot elves in this series.

My earlier concerns still stand, but this wasn’t bad
So did the citizens of the tower not know of the atrocities that the Sandrani perpetrated on human government and military institutions to help make the results of the Culling as bad as they were? If so, why was that not more widely published? If not, I don’t understand the reactions to Garath’s actions to protect and preserve his people. And are all of those people going to learn, the hard way, that the tower’s protection is vital when humanity is no longer alone?

This is boring.
The entire first two thirds is just very slow base building, not even proper building, just build planning. The characters are static and unremarkable. The action is far too little, far too late. This entire book should have been condensed and put in as the first few chapters of the next book.

quite good
A little slow at times and one storyline just kind of disappeared until it gets addressed in another volume. The society building is interesting but overall the whole thing feels a little like a placeholder for bigger events coming

Nice addition
I can totally tell the author forgets about characters and then when he does remember them writes them out of the story. I think this would benefit from a professional editor. I still like the story being told and will definitely read the next one.

Great third book
Strong progression through the book. Plenty of humor, fights, and inner turmoil. It took a while for this one to come out but it was worth the wait.

what a good one
Enjoyed its progression and ability to jump around when need be to keep the story at a good pace but still give out enough exposition that you don’t feel lost!
