Talk it out!

I really enjoyed this story a lot. My only real feedback is it would be nice if there was more about his progression and training like in the first novel (at least that's how i remember it). Great story though. Are you planning to make this a long running series?

I really wish we would have seen Ash and the women’s advancement into being a mortal refiners. Something to look forward to in the next book.

Only other criticism I have is that Even through all the chapters and rereading the whole book it is unbearably difficult to figure out who his "active" harem members are. I think its only Moira and Mei but I know I'm wrong. The fade to black or even lack of lead up to those situations makes finding that out very difficult. It's a little jarring when the emphasis from the last book was all about building those relationships to a point of fruition.

Yeah, 9 books. Can't always be about progression or it'd get dull

Hellnhavoc

i agree with you. Many cultivation novels become so obsessed with MC and their growth that there really isn't much of a story. Its like reading about someone power leveling through an unending MMO.( minus the gamelit references)

Haaaaaaaaa...

No one has mentioned anything about Locke possibly being runner, trickster possibly being Amelia, and similarities of the wraith to Creep.

Jacob

This is an entirely different universe though. There won't be any tie in to the runnerverse

Jacob

So does anybody else think that it's possible that Locke is Loki? Especially with that last line about him being a trickster? Cause one of lokis other names in mythology is loke which is only a letter off....

Jacob

Welp there goes my theories lol

P M

Waaa? Gonna read that last part again. Brb...

“They can be quite fun. Depending on the surprise, that is,” Locke said. Then he coughed once and cleared his voice twice. “It just really depends on the surprise,” said a very feminine and sultry voice inside Ash’s mind. One he’d never heard before and made his skin prickle. “Some can be quite enlightening. Amazing, even. At least, to me. But we both know I’m a trickster who loves a good romance. Isn’t that right, my Chosen One?”

P M

Ah I see, Locke was pretending to be male. Or is he pretending to be female?

P M

Who was the second presence at the fort?

P M

The whole asshole thing play with your harem seemed so similar to runner...how can these beings continue to exist after they died? Seems like grand ma was able to continue on in the Jade statues too. Hmmmm.

Loki’s daughter is hel but she doesn’t seam to fit Locke either

Darwin Baide

Woahhhhh so Locke is female!!! and apparently a chosen one from Locke herself. Not just like some nickname that people use like fated one. I’m guessing that Locke is some goddess and she chose Ashley to pass on a mantle to or some other thing. Big shocker in the last line.

From Asgard Awakening. Whether the two would reach their destination together was in doubt, but after so much time, the Traveler decided that it would be good if the Spark succeeded too. Their end goals were probably similar, if not the same.   Everything about their destination, the timing, and even a kind of poetic parallel all practically reeked of the Norns’ meddling. In some ways, it was fitting that a child of Loki would still be alive.

lucas rodger

just started reading and loving it so far but I can't believe you used the word yeet.... I just hate that word personally otherwise loving how its going

J B

I can easily see Ash yeeting...

Winston Smith

Good book. Can't wait for the next one. Gave a big groan at the gender swap. It was a little disappointing to lose one of the very few male characters in the book that were not bad guys, but whatever. Still really good.

Daniel Sifrit

Heh. Technically yes, since the book ended...

Daniel Sifrit

Travis is carrying the mantle of Odin. (ol' One Eye) I actually sorta had a suspicion when Locke animated a female body and ASKED to KEEP it.

Kenneth Darlin

I think Locke is Aphrodite personally....just fits the character very well

John Smith

While I think Locke is a goddess, I am guessing that for story reasons it won’t be either Greek, Roman (basically the same Greek), or Norse. If I was guessing a love goddess, I would go with Ishtar. More powerful, less well known, and better divine domains to play with than Aphrodite. Also, if it’s Aphrodite, I would have expected more direct references to Water powers for Ash given her mythology.

Noah

possible loki?

Kenneth Darlin

Ok, I agree with John maybe not Aphrodite, but what about Athena with the knowledge from the hall?

John Smith

Athena is a virgin goddess in mythology. Not saying a book can’t bend that, but it would be pretty bizarre. And I don’t think Locke is a virgin goddess, I think trickster or fertility is more likely.

R.J. Ford

Loki has been female in several tales, but too obvious. Based on behavior (the voice becoming crazed every time a new harem gave an oath) the only Norse goddess that fits is Var (goddess of oaths between man and women). But she isn’t linked to Odin in any story I’ve read. She did officiate a Thor wedding though. What I don’t know is if we have to stick to the Norse pantheon (or roman/greek based on the other veil verse books).. every pantheon has a trickster and half are female... there is even a female coyote. The real trickster here is Arand though since I’ll have to wait through three (or more) series’ books before I can validate my real suspicion. (Edit) I don’t have the patience to wait.. I have 3 personal picks. The one I want most is Decima (Lachesis) known as one of the Fates.. since (she) keeps calling Ash "Chosen One" but all the other characters know him as a "Fated One". Choice two would be Morigan (Celtic goddess of Fate).. I might be blind though restricting my goddesses to those of Fate and trickery (lies). For the next year though I'll be rooting for Decima!

Chase G Harstad

How many books will be in this series? It might be my new favorite.

Christopher Tolo

One of the fates makes sense considering Ash's Dao of seeing the future.

Korbin Wilson

With Locke being female and a child of Loki, I was thinking that she might be Hel. Especially after she animated a corpse and then asked to keep it for later use. Also, didn't Locke mention bringing back someone from the dead at one point?

Robert jacobs

Hel is a bit more evil than Locke I would guess will is making a new character so he can pave his own road and not just copy

Nicholas Donovan

Aaaaaaaaaaa, and thiiiiis iiiiiiiis tooooo goooooo eeeeveeeeèeeennnnnnn fuuuuuurther beeeyond!!!!!! The book.

The Agent Colson

Freya maybe? I need to read up some more on my Norse other medieval mythology.

Steven

Is that 9 Cultivating Chaos books or 9 in the Veilverse?
