About this listen

Elorion is back from the vampire realm.

Aeris and the girls have returned from training. The Head Mistress was true to her word. She kept them alive for a purpose.

Joining the succubi has gained Elorion and Aeris an illusionary freedom at best, and it will come at a heavy price.

There is no safety without power. No future without strength. Soon, they'll be leaving for the succubi capital. Sanctuary must progress or be abandoned.

Will it become a city on a shining hill or be extinguished forever?

This series started off pretty silly but with Vampires Gate and after the events of Scorching Sun, I'd thought that had changed. Turns out I was wrong; as soon as our MC reunited with his finance and friends he went straight back to being immature and indecisive.
I'm invested, so I'm gonna keep reading, but this book definitely feels like a 'one step foward, two steps back' situation in terms of character development. Ellorion might have been edgier when he was off on his own, but he was also way less cringe and way more decisive. There were so many times in this book where he got told something, started thinking, and got lost in pointless tangents before being brought back to reality and actually doing something. Even in terms of pushing his magic further, he gained access to or reviewed a bunch of exceptional abilities, but other than grandmastering light magic he mostly faffed about instead of focusing on growing. There were so many times I felt frustrated and wished Shamash or Eris would tell him to stop daydreaming and fucking about and just get on with it.

So yeah, this is an OK continuation with the series. I hope with the next book - where it seems Ellorion and Eris will move on from chilling with their friends and basebuilding, into politics and/or grinding in more dangerous depths of the underworld - the overall feel will stop being so casual and wishy-washy into more serious again.

Feels like a step back
