Under the protection of Nergal the Radiant, the Alliance’s armies march confidently toward Tiamat’s temple. Scyth’s old tricks are no longer working. The Legate of the Destroying Plague and his friends have a difficult choice to make: bow to the wishes of the Snowstorm corporation and complete the quest of the Nucleus, surrender to the preventers, or retreat in the battle for Tiamat’s temple to win the war?
One thing is sure: they’re going to need allies. And sometimes, old enemies can make the best friends.
My Opinion: 408 pages, $6.99, Not Available On Kindle Unlimited
Full disclosure: I received an advanced copy for review, I purchased a copy when it became available.
At first I thought the story would just continue the PvP stuff from the previous book. While that is still part of the story, I also appreciated the author's decision to send the MC on a solo journey (no spoilers). It was a great twist I could not have foreseen and gave me some ideas about future issues for the game world.
There were also a few neat IRL scenes that I liked, both because they kept the threat to the MC in the real world high, but also because they let him be a young person for a little bit which made the character feel more real.
Overall, the story continues the larger battles from the last book, but adds some interesting twists that keeps it from being repetitive. I had a good time reading it and would recommend it for anyone who likes the series.
Score: 7.7 out of 10
