There is a problem when you give your character god-like powers.
It makes the book boring to read.
This book had the potential to be really powerful and interesting. At the end of book 2, Rhen had defeated the invading army. The city had been under attack, and was partially destroyed. Many people were dead and injured on both sides. In the opening chapters, Jinji moves through the city, hand waving the damage away.
