I really like this type of plot where the main character has amnesia and we learn stuff along with them. The suspence and the thrill was captured nicely but the reveal was kind of a let down. I expected much more. The journey was fun though. The writing is much better in Dark Matter and Recursion....more

The Abidan side plot is getting interesting as well. Excited to see what comes next....more

Each of our cJust amazing! This has everything from the previous books and the thing I wanted the most in the previous books- depth of the characters.
Each of our characters undergo thorough introspection, making us connect to them and worry for them. Higher stakes and fast paced action made me devour this one. I can’t wait for the next one! Loved the moments of humour with Dross.
I’m sooo excited to start the next book given that ending!...more
This was good! It started a little slow but it was soon packed full of action and adventure which made the pages fly by.

This was good! It started a little slow but it was soon packed full of action and adventure which made the pages fly by.
Again, we focus more on our characters advancing their powers but we get a lot more players in the mix. The world continues expanding and it’s as rich as ever. I would have loved some character work but I’ll take what I can get.
I love Dross! We don’t get to see Eithan a lot in this but I’m sure that will be more than made up for in the next book considering the implications at the ending.
As addicting as ever, can’t wait to read the next one....more
This series is literally crack in book form. It only leaves you wanting for more. We get the long awaited duel between our characters which4.25 stars.
This series is literally crack in book form. It only leaves you wanting for more. We get the long awaited duel between our characters which was kind of a letdown though it couldn’t have gone better. But I kinda expected some twist.
The rest of the book is a setup for sequels now that the stakes of the duel are gone. The story behind Eithan’s sphere is finally revealed. Really loving the side plot development with Abidan.
The only thing missing here is the depth of characters. Yerin could do with some work, being one of the biggest players. Even Lindon could use some fleshing out besides the advancement in power.
Excited to see where the series goes from here given the addition of new powerful players!...more

A huge chunk of the book is a highlight on Lindon training for his duel against Jai Long. We also get a lot more world building, in-depth exposition into the magic system and everything gets more fleshed out. This book felt the most like I was reading an anime.
The narrative is tight, fast paced and surprisingly humorous, at times. I devoured this book. Loved the multiple POVs.
The other plot with Suriel is getting defined slowly though it’s still a mess. Really interesting revelations at the end.

There’s a lot of world building going on and huge info dumps which affected the pacing considerably. 3.5 stars.
An exciting setup for a bigger series.
There’s a lot of world building going on and huge info dumps which affected the pacing considerably. The way it’s setup, obviously has us rooting for the underdog. Loved Lindon’s tenacity and resourcefulness.
It takes time to get into the hard magic system and judging by the reviews, I’m sure it pays off down the line....more
