Erich awakens battered and bruised from his fiasco of an errand to find that both he and his ride-or-die Mika have lived to see another dawn. The pair lug themselves back to the capital with their dubious quest rewards in hand, but the loot doesn’t stop Agrippina offers our hero another prize...only to disappear somewhere!
Erich being the loyal retainer he is, spends all his effort searching for...customers. As his side hustle making custom game pieces starts to take off, one of his customers drops a fresh heap of trouble in his lap! The Henderson readings are off the chart for the fourth act of this power-gamer's journey!

I agree with the author commentary that Margit needs to get back into the story. Still really love Erich and Mika's whole thing though.

Warning that below aren't spoilers, but does give some info that allows the reader to guess what happens in the book.
For a book titled "Min-Maxing.." Erich seems to ... no longer be Min-Maxing. I feel like the author has found a formula and has stuck to it. Resolve the previous "big battle", explore the repercussions. Be presented a choice where there's a obvious right answer, convince himself to not take it. Middle of the story obsess about his sister ( oh how sick am I of hearing about his sister). Then 3/4 of the way through, somehow end up in a big fight. Rinse repeat.
I'll keep going but the negative are starting to pile up. It feels like the character has really stopped progressing. The charm of his single-minded focus on making himself as badass as possible has all but worn out.
Micah has grown on me, but that's about it. The plot device added at the beginning of the book is all but forgotten. The big-bad in this book feels like a step back from the previous. All in all, it feels like a filler book. Hope the next is better.

This is only the first half of this volume apparently but the new character addition left me hopeful for some exciting developments. I feel that Elisa gets way too much focus in this series, at least so far.

Just having recovered from one of his more lethal adventures, Erich tries to take things a bit more calmly in the capital. His sister and his studies need some attention, and there are other ways for somebody as skilled in carving as Erich to earn some money. Nothing goes as planned of course.
The first part of a two volume arc, the ending is decent, no true cliff-hanger, although there are many questions still to be answered (some of which can be guessed). The story goes a bit into the history of the empire, the daily life in the capital both above and below ground. Much like previous volumes, it is a good story with some solid world building and character development. And as earlier, the prose of the story can be a bit poetic and long at times.
All in all, a good story and eagerly reading ahead at JNC.
