M. Wilmsmeyer: "Archcrafter" rank is the first big step up in soulcrafting, and getting to see the characters achieve it and what it means for their capabilities is extremely satisfying.

Kindle Customer: Wish i did not have to write twenty words minimum, tho. Trust me (a nobody on the internet), the series is shaping up to be something truly special.

Scott Sheridan: Another great read from the author of the series. Can't wait to read more from the author of the series. Plenty of action and adventure and developing storyline between characters.

Alexander McCall: A lot of Cultivation series have to start slow. The whole point of the genre is that you start at the bottom and, through hard work and perseverance, you work your way to the top, slowly getting more powerful as you do. This means that, while later on you can have a lot of characters with really cool move sets, to begin with you’re very much leaning on the world and characters to be interesting enough to keep you engaged.
Luckily in the Weirkey series the characters and world are more than strong enough but it is nice that by this book we’ve gotten to the point where the interesting techniques are beginning to show themselves.
This is a great book in the series as we get to see more of the worlds and see consequences from previous actions still chasing them. It also allows them to slow down a bit, which bring up a lot of interesting interactions and questions about how their goals relate to one another. I really do love how the characters interact around each other. It’s a nice spectrum. On one end you’ve got Fiyu, who comes from a lovely world of darkness, where people are mostly solitary and touching is reserved only for those you share great affection with. On the...

Maxime TRIBUT: As always an interesting concept with the soulcrafting, but I wish the conversation between the character wasn't so awkward. Especially Fiyu!

Sublime Dissonance: After reading both Soulhome and Rainhorn, the previous volumes of The Weirkey Chronicles, I was confident that whether or not the story would set itself apart from the majority of other similar works would heavily depend on how well Archcrafter would be able to fulfill the tale's potential for greatness. Well, as a short answer, it does exactly what I have been asking for, and in some cases, it surpasses my expectations.
As far as characterization goes, I have no complaints. Both Fiyu and Nauda had their relationship and personalities further materialized into something more complex and organic. It is satisfying to see how their interactions changed once faced with the tenuous uncertainty of life and death, and though their cultural behaviors might establish some distance between them, there is a clear growth in the trio's relationship dynamics. Senka constantly sends mixed signals, sometimes she is simply comic relief, being the senka-head she is, but there are enough sprinkled details in her behavior that might allude to a deeper and more complex character beneath all that cute silliness. I can not help but thoroughly enjoy reading every scene she is on, and I am not...

Steven M. Brown: This third release in the seires is perhaps the most complete book in terms of plotting or at least having an ending that feels like an end. Lin is fast writer and self publisher that has good narrative that does not suffer from lack of editing, hanging plots, or numerous reader spead bumps. At the same the story and seires does have a bit of a chapter by chapter release feel. The third person limited pov chapters pull you right through one after another with the characters being active and having an overall goal but with a rather straightforward antagonist that is there to be the final boss of the story.
Nonetheless the seires so far is a fun read and Sarah Lin seems to have have found her niche. I did see she is a patron writer who does have advance chapters or even books available for her patrons. I can respect that because a working author has to pay the bills.
One aspect enjoyed in this 3rd book is the added depth to the side characters who are his friends. They are given time to Sean and are shown to be unique in many ways and how they even see the world. . Even though the antagonist were straightforward they did...

Kindle Customer: This seems to mark an end to this "arc" of the story. Our protagonist is genuinely terrifying now, and it seems like we are going stay in an established place for a while. I am sure we will have more exciting stuff in the future.
