Near the end, Sera regales them all with the tale of her Judgement for a full day. This is reinforced several times throughout this book and previous ones when it is said that people have those memories erased upon completion. Another inconsistency is when Sera states in the beginning of the book that she doesn't remember her Judgement. That was irritating and didn't make sense. Important stuff that is incredibly valuable. Books on magical theory for sorcery and magic from other continents. Researcher is not summoned, despite the fact that she asked to and could have copied literally all of the books for then to read later. Once they get there, Corin and Sera stay up and take turns reading these books all night.

At one point later on they are about to go to a tower filled with rare and forbidden knowledge and Researcher asks to be summoned there, because it interests her as a knowledge elemental. This is an incredibly useful ability that is only relevant for that scene. He feels less and less relevant and is constantly pushed aside and left behind, in addition to not adding much to any conversation.Īt one point Researcher, the knowledge elemental summon, demonstrates the ability to remotely copy and reproduce books with a certain range of her. Patrick feels more and more like a dog that was adopted, just to be left at home by himself. He does some catch up and makes a couple more batteries and that's it no more projects for this book. In the beginning portion of the book Corin goes over some enchanting projects that are very interesting and have very important immediate and long-term applicability. This story felt a little poorly planned and like the author didn't quite know what to do with it at times, like it was a placeholder to set up the next book. Below are some of those issues, in no particular order, but with some spoilers. However, I have some issues with this book. I loved How to Defeat a Demon King and Sufficiently Advanced Magic was groundbreaking.

I am a longtime fan of Andrew Rowe and his books.
