Summary

Life was simpler when someone was around to tell him what to do. With a band of Adventurers looking to him for direction, whether he likes it or not, Trent Embra needed to figure out how to lead them.

But how was he supposed to lead when there were so many things Trent hadn’t figured out for himself?

An unidentifiable seed in his Storage, and whispers in his head, Trent points his team west towards the wilds. It was as good a direction as any. Maybe in uncivilized lands, Trent would learn what it meant to be an Adventurer and sort through what mattered most.

As an avid reader and listener

One of the most entertaining stories I have had the pleasure to listen to for a long time. I'm looking forward to the next instalment

lost its way

After the first books this feels like a step backwards.
A lot of information along with new characters have all been introduced. but it feels at the expense of the main storyline.
not sure about future installments

Fantastic series

Fantastic series!
Got the first book for free with my membership and did not hold much hope for it but I’ve just blown through the whole series in no time at all could not stop listening! Devastated there is not more out, looking at the release dates of 3 books in 2020 and one in 2022 I hope we will see more soon. 10/10 amazing.

Loved it

Unlike the previous books, I really have no complaints that made it hard to listen at times. The book was great all the way through and I only wish the next book was already available.

So glad I found this series and I can't wait to see what happens in future releases.

Another excellent instalment of this series.

As with other reviewers, I am a fan of this series and like most others devour the books when they come out. Reading and then listening as the audible often brings things the reader misses.
We have a bit of potentially background setting for later books which Trent and his party will I assume be encountering.
In this book Trent and his party set off into the wilds, we get a little bit of how the Dros kingdom is freeing itself from under the kingdoms yoke. Trent creates a new trial which only he can enter, some expansion on that with the book following the party as they enter a wandering dungeon and once again we are left with a potential cliff hanger..

Easy listen

Book 4 - brambles and thorns in my opinion is the weakest of the first 4 books, however it has absoloutly cemented multiple directions the books can go and I can’t wait to see where s-Trent goes next!

Narrator has smashed it out of the park again,
Even though I think it’s the weakest of the 4 I still really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone!

Can’t wait for book 5

Now I have to wait for the next one

I should have waited for this series to have more books. It is so addictive and now I'm stuck waiting for my next fix.

J.T Wright please hurry up (and write another 10+ books to flesh out this story completely).

we're is the action and adventure

seriously though I'm 8 hours or 10 hours and and there has been very little action or Adventure they've talked so much this book and nothing important has happened. it has been two day in world and it's taken 10 hours and nothing really has happen. I'm past halfway through the book and it Is frustrating to listen to it I'm thinking of stopping here.

We go west...just not this book.

The very beginning of this book feels out of placed and this book tries to smooth out the wrinkles that it created. Progress is made with other characters outside of Trent, but Trent somehow gains a weird and basically annoying ability that doesn't reveal anything to Trent just to drain loot. We left off book 3 that cliff hangs us that the next adventure will be West, but this book stalls that progress for a new character.

Feels like a let down compare to the previous books in the series, hopefully next one will be better....

the story stalls out

the story completely stalls out.. then tries to fluff the story with pointless sidetracking. maybe the series uses this one to build on and it betters the series in the long run but pretty disappointed.

Disappointing Book in Series

I enjoyed the first two books in this series and looked forward to listening to this one. Unfortunately, it didn’t deliver. The author jumped to new characters without me seeing how they tied to the original characters and storyline. There was a lot of status statistics thrown in, which led me to believe them only to be filler words. There is a lot of alluding to a Great War coming and I figure that somehow Trent will be the one person to determine its outcome. Sigh. Too bad the editor didn’t ask this author to rewrite this book. Now I am no longer interested in the series.

This one is a dud

While I have enjoyed this series quite a lot, this installment left me disappointed.
There was considerable amount of time spent in character development, but the whole book felt like the characters were running in place.
I hope book 5 is much, much better.

85% filler.

I'm at chapter 28.. I've skipped 8 chapters so far. Filler and unnecessary side stories that ARENT funny... like what's up with that chick's literally 10 minute rant about hiring circus performers to get the dudes white clothes dirty???

I keep waiting for this story to develop.

as I listen to more and more of the books in this series, one lingering thought remains. when is the story going to develop into more than just dungeon after dungeon. there are glimpses of a life outside of dungeons, but the main character just basically goes from dungeon to dungeon and all the small world building that is happening does not move the story on enough. I like the main character, I like several the as a matter of fact. but I'm getting bored with the wash, rinse and repeat of trial dungeons. this is book 4 and throughout the last three books there have been small glimpses of world building but they never have a payoff. The writer spends more time on the dungeons and almost nothing on anybody else in this world. which is getting very redundant. I'll probably listen to the next book, but if I'm not seeing anything besides dungeon after dungeon, it will probably be the last.

nothing happened

There was like a week of story. there is too much jumping to sub plots. I wish they would let go of half of it and get through more than 1 trial.

Excellent!

All 4 books are excellent with a great story and story telling. I hope there’s a book 5 soon
