Huon and Liona have reached the rank of Immortal. On the world of Temtoria, they developed abilities long lost to the surgecallers in Harolan and Taloniar.
But their journey is far from over.
On their return, they must help their friends catch up to their level of strength, while pushing forward in their mission to defeat the Immortal Seven and the Everlasting King.
I was expecting this one to be more training but I was wrong. Yeah, a lot of it was involved typing up loose ends of the last books as Huon, Liona, and Kelni returned home. But man, it only got better from there. The three way Immortal battle, the Kraken battle, and the final scene at the end were all incredibly good.
Also, Todd, I'm so invested in Kelni at this point. Don't you dare let anything bad happen to him by the end of the series. I get why everyone was mad at him, but still. He deserves a full redemption.
My marathon is almost done, last one book and I have caught up with the latest.......unfortunately I am still lost to whether love or lose this universe........
A voyage to finally go back and bring about change, again with nothing to do for the journey, training is a must, for what are Immortals to the Everlasting King, Huon has always been the one with the insight, I would have loved to read about either Captain Avery or Liona discovering something useful for a change, with the new knowledge, Huon does not waste time adopting his new ideas to further enhance his fighting capability, another reason why this book is a 3 star instead of 1.5.
My understanding of a progression novel, is constantly evolving, advancing, with Herzverse the concept is there, but the way it reaches that goal, that is where I have some doubts, those insights by Huon, those are unique, they make this otherwise train, train, train story into something better......but again there is something missing, more often than not monotony sets in.....is it because we only read about Huon???
Another book, another plateau conquered, again another(a lot of the "another" word thrown around)pedestal to climb...and so Soulblade.......
The first six books were very good. This book dragged on for a while and only finally picked up at the end. Committed to finishing the series, however I expected a bit more out of this one.
