Rick Scott has a talent to write good stories. Why only 3 stars? Because like in the first book of the crystal shards series the first book seems to be a one and only bashing on the MC. Starting low and getting battered more and more without any relief or hope.
WAY TOO strong and way too long for my taste till he find the first sparks of strength. Where is the fun in that. It feels like watching someone slowly drowning.
Regardless of that the culture is rich, the characters distinct (even if they are a bit too stereotype) the cultivation system seems interesting. I just hope in the next books the MC gets a bit more fresh air to breathe and to find more of his strength. ( )
