Description

From bestselling LitRPG author Seth Ring—creator of the Titan and Battle Mage Farmer series—comes the triumphant conclusion to the thrilling epic series of alien contact, fast-paced military action, and superhuman adventure.

Everything has changed. And everything—including humanity itself—is at risk.

The Exlian wave is destroying New Emery. The citizens have fled to underground shelters while Exlian and mutants stalk the streets, and the city’s councillors hide behind their corrupt schemes for power. Joined by his friends and brother, Mark Fields must calm the unrest among the deadly criminals in the Tomb while finding a way to stop or break the waves of aliens destroying the city.

To make matters worse, the most dangerous enemy of all has arisen: an Exlian prime matron. More powerful than all the rest, matrons command hordes and hordes of Exlian. But a prime matron only arises when a matron is strong enough to conquer other matrons, taking their power and becoming virtually unstoppable, even for S-ranked empowered like Mark and his friends.

As long-lost secrets are revealed, enemies and allies are tested. To fight the prime matron and save humanity, Mark must be willing to sacrifice everything he holds most dear.

It was so perfect! The ending of this series was magnificent; so many twists and turns near the end of the book that I did not see coming. The same great Mark, though leveled up, leads us on an adventure to save the city of New Emery and does not fail to disappoint. I am really sad this series is over; I wanted to see more Mark and Mime activities - perhaps exploring the world outside of his city. Overall, this was a great ending to a wonderful series; I can't wait to read more of Seth Ring's books.

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for an advanced e-copy in exchange for snnhonest review.

A great culmination to a series that I have loved all throughout. Picks up immediately where book 5 left off, it starts laying the ground work to the finale. It sets up a lot of particular pieces, at times a few spots can be confusing as Mark navigates his new abilities, but eventually it all comes together with some twists and turns. Big battle scenes set up an epic finale. Nobody feels safe and powers and matrons collide and to see if Mark and Co can save New Emory for good. It wraps up plot threads pretty cleanly, maybe a little too abrupt of an ending but otherwise the epic conclusion this series deserved. This has been such a fun series filled with great progression and amazing action, loved every second of it.
