I didn't feel I could quite give it a four, mainly due to difficulty. The quest is seriously hyped as difficult but they complete it with relative ease. I kept expecting a final twist to upset everything.
Also, several things were left, such as level differences (people who have been in the game forever aren't even level 20?), the prisoner bounty origin, the fate of other party members, etc.

I look forward to the next book.

This series is good. A little grim but not that grimdark gibberish so good. Surprised the sh*te out of me.
It's got good kids going through tough times and powering up. It hits all my marks with a male hero and no romance so far (into book 3).

I've seen some criticism of the central protagonist as being too whiny, self absorbed and non-ethical.... Now normally I like my heroes humble, honourable, crafty and capable, BUT in this case I commend the author, Ash is consistent and really believable throughout.

Sure he's a bit dim but his one-track mind is makes sense - it grates me when a character conveniently forgets momentous developments but Ash's moodiness masks most plot-holes and his motivations generally make sense.

A rare achievement and a real strength of the series, in fact the only false notes are the ultra modern technological terms littering the book undermining the diegesis.

"Eyes like a laser", "thermodynamic laws", "kinetic energy" even "dictionary up his ass"all serve to puncture the suspension of disbelief.

Overall, a well plotted, well edited, well balanced series with a believable magic system to boot. Very professional - apart from the modern jargon (stemming from the author's professional expertise no doubt).
