4 Series Stars
Overall, for the series, a four star read. Although, the final book was heavily rushed.
4 You Don't Tell A Mighty And Powerful Being How Overjoyed You Are To Ride Them Stars
Book one in the Climbing The Dragons Tower series.
I really like the way this story is progressing. I initially thought it was going to resemble so many other tower climbing fables. While I can enjoy the endless farming and level advancement. I am much more interested in the addition of political intrigue, relationship drama, and the encroaching war. While the ever-present threat of the Demon Lord hangs over this world.
The layout of the floors has definitely further added some spice. The first defense floor is really shaking expectations. The intricacies of familiars, tower rules, and the essence gains steadily push the story along.
The spotlight and threat that Annabell has unexpectedly brought to our simple farmer is more than surprising. I thought they might eventually lead a romantic relationship, in some distance future when he had won prestige and she had conquered her arrogant father. Boy, was I wrong. The Elven babies notwithstanding, their fates appear to be taking an entirely different path, or rather earlier in some cases.
The mystery of his birth was solved rather easily, and now all that's left is revenge on the perpetrator of their untimely demise. However, it seems Tem isn't interested in revenge at this time. More concerned with saving the world and protecting those he cares for. I am hopeful that his new station as Baron will lead to more power and allow him to shape this world to a more redeeming path.
5 Note To Self: Establish Trade With Pixies For Their Pastries Stars
Book Two in the Climbing Dragons Tower series.
The war with the dwarves has not made any progress in either direction. Anna and Astros did strike a concerted blow against their forces in a somewhat roundabout way. Which has shifted their focus to targeting the frontier, in Fjord, before they descend on their original target, the Capital. The minotaurs are directing their forces towards Fjord as well as Tem's forces continue to rescue Elven babies and pregnant women from being devoured for some ritualistic level up.
Anna and Tem's relationship has advanced into steady territory. While initially, how stable their affections are made me worry over their continued survival. Anna's new Dragon Tower gifted power, making her more difficult to fall or be captured.
I have high hopes they will stand and conquer the coming invasion, not only beating down both the Dwarven and Minotaur armies but striking back at King Hori. His manipulations have time and again abandoned these two most stalwart defenders of the nation and the planet. I believe he deserves justice for his actions, him and his disgusting son.
3 Stars
Book Three in the Climbing The Dragons Tower series.
Everything was resolved in the end, so I'm satisfied with its general conclusive ending. However, I honestly wish there another book to explore everything further. It definitely felt more like the author was just rushing to complete the story. Which made the finality of everything unsatisfying.
I adored the camaraderie and bounding between the characters. Especially the new Dragons, they truly brought me joy. I wish the two female Dragons could have been given a more expansive character profile, then just disappearing after their discovery because of their value to furthering dragonkind. They had such varying personalities from the little glimpse we were given.

Story:
- bad guys are bad; good guys are good; no grey morality.
- way too much character stats.
- too many world mechanics that the author failed to explain the why behind it; putting it under the world's lore as "rules" and we're to just accept it as is.
- too much uncreative and (often at times) unnecessary vulgarities used; diminishing any moment of impact.
- too many sex and fart jokes that only the author (and possibly middle schoolers) find funny.
Narration:
- male narrator's cadence reminds me of Zapp Brannigan.
- volumes between the male and female narrator weren't equalized: male narrator sounds like a whisper at times while the female narrator sounds like she's yelling.
Overall, I'd avoid this series.

The first two books are okay, pretty interesting but not too deep. The third book rushes through the timeline so fast. He his lifelong goals he just throws in the trash and that’s the end of the book. Basically in what feels like the middle of the series, the book ends and leaves you irritated at the laziness.

let down
I liked the first two books but the third one was a huge letdown and I skimmed a lot of it. It felt like the author got bored or just rushed to a conclusion .
