Summary
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.

I really tried to like this one.
The firs two books were pretty good and I enjoyed the cultural depth. This most recent book however... well, every character interaction is like an awkward version of the real thing. Anger comes off as petulant, friendly banter comes off as mean spirited patronizing, and even the protagonists inner monologue sounds like a list of rationalizations. I was just uncomfortable the entire time and not really sure why. Normally, I could push through that, but the MC makes virtually zero emotional, romantic or martial progress. I got about eighty percent through without any tangible enjoyment and just gave up.

Lacking story progression.
I felt that this book had the same problem as the second book. the main character hardly advances himself at all. the first book I felt the story moved well while the main character grows, but the second and third book, he kind of stagnates personal growth. maybe the next book will more the story along. As always though, Travis Baldree is a God among men. such a great narrator.

A clunky addition to the series.
if this was book 2.5 in the series instead of book 3, I wouldn't be so disappointed. The "author notes" are there for some reason. Ever wonder what police were called in ancient China? Me either. Mc goes on a quest and not a lot of the cultivation bits I was hoping to enjoy. I returned it for credit.

Still going. Where is my MacGuffin?!
The story is good. There are just a few issues that im having trouble getting used to. I want him to hurry up and find something that really makes him unique. Maybe not OP but at least really unique. This doesn't have that. He doesn't seem too curious... or HUNGRY for it. He's just not. Like in Cradle. Lindons hunger for power, that NEED really drove him. This guy just doesn't seem to have it yet. The story is still interesting. Barely. Nothing is bad. Good writing. Wonderful narrator. just need something... Where is the MacGuffin?

stuff happened .... yay?
Travis is his usual self putting on a great performance and gave this a +1 star to overall.
maybe the fact the author wants chines money he cant push his far left political BS so his heart isn't in the series started out great and the further along it goes it seems to run out of steam. if the next book is boring ill be getting refunds.

love drama was so forced.
I've enjoyed the previous books but this one felt forced and uninvolved. kinda like the author was on a deadline and just crapped this out to meet it. Narration is still 5 stars.

Another excellent installment
Tao Wong's Thousand Li series is excellent. His use of classical cultivation in a traditional setting as the series foundation is a pleasure to read and this installment does not fail to impress. Travis Baldree's narration is, as always, excellent and makes the book just that much better. I'm looking forward the next installment.

Does not do the other books justice
I understand not wanting to stick to the common tropes all the time but tropes are tropes for a reason. Im really hoping the next book gets us back on track.
