Summary
After concluding their first year at Lorian Heights, Corin and his friends catch a train from their native Valia to the distant country of Caelford.
For most, this would be a simple vacation. Corin has other plans:
- Meet Anabelle Farren, the eccentric owner of Farren Labs, and learn about artificial attunements.
- Seek out Warren Constantine, a previous Arbiter, for training and a potential alliance.
- Find the visage Ferras herself to seek a cure for Sera's condition.
Of course, Corin is Corin, and there's absolutely no chance he's going to be able to stick to a list. Even if he miraculously developed a sense of focus, he isn't the only one with plans....
The Blackstone Bandit. Everyone's favorite mysterious book entity. The aforementioned Farren. A vacationing professor. The mirror of a figure from Keras' past. When their plots intersect, Corin and his friends are, predictably, stuck at the center.
It's going to be a long vacation.

After three books I am checking out
If you've got through the first two books: you know the bit at the start of book one where there are several chapters of a thinly disguised video game dungeon?
That is the second major chunk of this book and it is even worse.
"Protagonist and friends go on holiday and sidequests happen" is as best a description I can make of this, and this was already a series that wastes a LOT of time.

Continues to be my favourite book series
It's a great in between story and while it might not be satisfactory for every one it continues to expand the amazing world building and be able to be both funny and serious and the appropriate time. Can't wait for the next one

Awesome
I pre purchased this and awaited the next instalment of the series, hoping for more of the same.
The only disappointment was reaching the end far quicker than I wanted it to.
Already on my 2nd listening and will have to wait months for the next book.
I’m sure the cliff hanger will be worth the wait.

Constantly brilliant
Fantastic book. Vivid writing. A winter break of epic proportions. Twists, turns and a Big fat cliffhanger.

Another great addition
Was a fun listen and just as Andrew described.
My only complaint was that it was too short!

The epic tale continues
Andrew Rowe continues to impress and entertain me with AA. This book is filled with more world building, vivid scenes, unique character growth and an EPIC tale. I will not spoil it for you, listen it to it yourself!
I'm fully invested and can't wait for more. Particularly if Nick Podel continues to narrate this book.

Excellent!
I've been following Rowes books for a while now and I've listened to them all multiple times but Arcane Ascension is by far my favourite and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book!

Potential to be great
Great ideas throughout the series. Have moved into 4th book. One thing that I keep hoping will improve is Sera’s character. Very irritating character. Her hypocrisy frustrates me greatly and she just seems to be in Corrin’s way. Really hop Corrin can actually be the MC by the end.
Also can occasionally be preachy. Have to skip those ethics lecture chapters. Not welcome in this genre. Go teach an ethics class if you want to preach on biases etc.
