Summary

The Dwarves want to fight. They’re ordered to escape. Turtling up is the best of both worlds.

Joe and humanity as a whole messed up pretty badly, managing to get some of the most important people from both the Elven and Dwarven races killed. Now the war is escalating to unprecedented levels, and only one side needs to worry about being slain. With the attackers knowing they can get right back up after dying, they are throwing themselves against their centuries-long foe without caring for the consequences.

As the death toll rises, there’s still hope for Joe and the people that he chose to align himself with. His tiny Hamlet is hidden away from the Elves, so the Ritualist gets a quest to escort the core of the Dwarven Oligarchy to safety: their History, and those that lived it. If he can manage to save even a few as the Dwarven Oligarchy begins to Implode, the race might one day have a chance to regain their former glory.

There’s only one major issue with convincing the war-loving Dwarves to escape the final battle and hide away: they’re war-loving Dwarves.

Good so far

I’ve really enjoyed this series so far but I will say that if the MC decides to go and “save” that person in upcoming books I won’t be listening to the rest.

going down hill

i have enjoyed the series up until the last book and this one, story is being dragged out as filler to make an extra book, all while not progressing the plot or characters or story line at all, it actually got to the point where the author has forgotten the story told so far and forgotten and missed skills the mc has and has relied on, for example, in this book there is a dual based on teaching, the whole premise is that the mc has no teaching skill, but he does, he had a high teaching skill ftom teaching his covern 3 books ago which was a big deal back then, its just inconsistencies in the story and mc, i wont be buying the next in order from this series, very disapointed.

Tedious mess

Not quite sure why I keep doing this to myself, but these get worse. Recovers a little in the last third.

Boring uneventful and disappointing.

I fallowed this story and others from this author for a long time now but from all the books so far Book 7 and Book 8 are the most disappointing and uninspired ones. There is nothing interesting happening.
Joe become an annoying deus-ex machina provider for when the story need something resoled. I could live with that but the way its implemented into the story is so shallow and uninteresting that i could skip whole chapters and miss NOTHING.
Book 7 and 8 should be one book and i think they originally were meant to be - but that would cut the profit $$$ i guess, so it got split into two.
Joe is boring and all the other characters surrounding him are either annoying or so one-dimensional that i couldn't care less for them (maybe beside Jaxon who is still quite fun).
Those books and the story goes nowhere. It just repeats the same stuff from earlier Books...
It feels like the author mean for it to be another endless cash-grab to be milked as long as possible with no real end planed for the story.

I honestly think that if it wasn't read by Luke Daniels but by any other less talented person it would not sell much more books after this.

I would recommend looking for a difrent series to read.
For example 'Unbound' by Nicoli Gonnella didynt disappoint me so far.
