For The Guild - Emerilia Series Book 3

I like this series. That being said, this book got a wee bit too technical for me. I read for pleasure, not to be immersed in jargon I don't really understand. That's all right. Someone else likely loved all the tech talk. Thankfully, there was enough adventure between all of the tech babble to keep my interest.

Let's be honest. The first book left a good bit to be desired, despite have some good content. But like Michael has done with he free fleet, this series just gets better and better. This is a fantastic book and a fun read.

I enjoyed this week enough as a sequel, but it feels somewhat insubstantial, if that makes any sense. Dave & Co are exploring and prepping for a fight against most of the Pantheon, but that's a very far away and insubstantial threat. It really needs the personal, driving threat of an antagonist on their level to ground things, in my opinion.

There is one character who seems like a good candidate, but he's thwarted in their first encounter, and pretty well neutered in their second. He still seems like he's a part of the story, so maybe he'll turn it around. If so this doesn't seem to be a good way to build up the tension that sort of character should deliver.

Pretty good showing overall, but if the third book doesn't shift gears a bit then I think it will drop my opinion of both books. We'll see.

Too many curse words. I would like to continue buying the audio version as well but the language isn't appropriate for children. Just as if the writer has issues he needs to get off his chest. But the plot and character build is definitely on point.

Great book in a great series!! I recommend to anyone that enjoys fantasy role playing games/worlds. Can’t wait to read the next one.
