The Sword of Kaigen is a breathtaking, heart-wrenching triumph of fantasy—a book that lingers in the soul long after the final page. M.L. Wang has crafted something extraordinary here: a story that is as emotionally devastating as it is beautifully written, blending the intricate world-building of giants like Brandon Sanderson and Mark Lawrence with a..
I was into the story. The characters are a bit simple, but I liked the premise. Unfortunately, a few hours in, the protagonist seems to blame the apocalypse and aftermath on American liberal democracy and the “mainstream media”. Which makes it a bit silly and demonstrates a lack of understanding of complex domestic and international..
I’m excited to read more from this author. For a first book, this is amazing. The vibes and world building feel like a more adult version of avatar the last airbender. For context, I love and have watched a.t.l.a as well as the legend of kora more than I’d be comfortable to admit in person…
Review from Desperation →
I’m enjoying this series for the most part but I do have to keep reminding myself not to get annoyed at the rather obviously contrived scenarios. The characters keep making incredibly stupid mistakes, the majority of which they really should know how to avoid by now, especially with Ben’s Army Ranger training and experience plus..
Review from The Lost Reclaimed →
It ended on a cliffhanger and now I half to wait for the next one. I finished the book in 2 days

I listened to the first 5 books as a set over a year ago and really enjoyed them. I wanted to continue the series but didn’t feel that the cost per shorter book was worth it and was waiting for them to release another set. I was thrilled when I saw that they had added..
Review from Deception →
This addition to the series was enjoyable, except for the fact that the situation they ended up in at the end of the book should never have happened. Given his training and experience, Ben should really have known better. I just found the whole scenario implausible. Plus, this book felt too short to warrant the..
While I mostly enjoyed this story, I couldn’t get over the fact that they shouldn’t have gotten themselves into that situation in the first place. I found it hard to believe that, given his training and experience, Ben would have made the choices he did when presented with what was an obvious set up at..
Seriously one if the very best books I have ever read. I was actually struggling through a very famous fantasy book and gave up. I could not get into it. Thought it was me. Put it down, picked this up. What a difference, night and day. From the offset, this story dug it’s ice claws..
