A review by thinde
The Torch that Ignites the Stars, by Andrew Rowe

3.0

If you thought you had already read this book, keep going. It starts at the same point as the prior story.

The groundwork has been meticulously laid for Corin's ascension to godhood. It's early days but the list of potential abilities to which he will have access is nothing short of world-changing. At the same time, I'm losing enthusiasm. At this rate, it will take a further twenty books to complete Corin's arc.

I think I've mentioned, in prior reviews, my problem with the spire-challenges. They feel more like dream sequences than real-life. I'm not emotionally invested. Since spire-challenges or competitions represent about a quarter of these books, that is a big problem for me.

I'm still motivated enough to continue reading within this extended universe... but I can see the end coming.
