About this listen

Winter has passed, taking with it the hope of peace. The state of Wei deploy an increasing number of cultivators and soldiers, intent on taking over the state of Shen. Caught in between the armies is Wu Ying's village and all those that he cares about.

Advised to keep away from the approaching war, Wu Ying will have to decide what is more important - his journey to immortality or the ties to the mortal that he holds onto still. Or perhaps, there is a third way, one that balances both the needs of Heaven and destiny and the karmic ties of the family.

Fantastic and exciting

Monotonous in action and performance. I enjoyed the most the first story. Starting with the second the interest of listening to it is dissipating to the point of not having it at all. Disappointed.

Is a dealbreaker

This feels like it's a overcomplicated side story. Often time this feels like a DND session of sorts, and this far from of a compliment of any kind. Many aspects, while, "could happen" in the context of the world feel forced and just as the book itself puts it many times "boring". There's too many deux ex machina moments too. But the most glaring problem is the near suicidal quest for little to no benefit. Even the character growth feels pointless, since it seems to solve nothing more then problems the book itself introduces.

it's probably better to just skip to the next book. While not long it's a slog.

book doesn't meaningfully add to the series
