Corin Cadence finally has a firm reason to believe his brother, Tristan, is still alive. Unfortunately, finding more information isn’t going to be easy. Tristan appears to be entangled with a clandestine organization that calls themselves Whispers. And Corin’s last brush with the Whispers didn’t exactly end well. As much as he wants to follow that lead, Corin has more pressing problems to deal with.

Histoire
Five years ago Corin Cadence's brother entered the Serpent Spire - a colossal tower with ever-shifting rooms, traps, and monsters. Those who survive the spire's trials return home with an attunement: a mark granting the bearer magical powers. According to legend, those few who reach the top of the tower will be granted a boon by the spire's goddess. He never returned. Now it's Corin's turn. He's headed to the top floor, on a mission to meet the goddess.

Keras Selyrian is already well on the way to cutting his name into the annals of legend. He’s fought false divinities, thieving sorcerers, and corrupt demigods - and left them defeated in his wake. But he’s a long way from home, and Kaldwyn offers a different brand of danger than he’s used to. He’s already got a sword of unfathomable power, but it’s damaged and leaking world-annihilating mana, so he’s in the market for a new one. Possibly six. The more the better, really.

The Tournament of the Sacred Sword sounded like exactly the type of thing Keras would enjoy: a series of challenges for thousands of contestants seeking a chance to fight for the Sacred Sword of Earth. He knew there would be challenges. It wouldn’t be a high-stakes tournament without a few high-profile assassinations and mysterious murders, after all. But Keras wasn’t ready to run into someone from his homeland, and he certainly wasn’t prepared for the revelations that came from their confrontation.

Whether it will be driven back into the sea or allowed to rampage depends on the Monarchs. And on which of them is left standing.
Description
After concluding their first year at Lorian Heights, Corin and his friends catch a train from their native Valia to the distant country of Caelford.
For most, this would be a simple vacation. Corin has other plans:
- Meet Anabelle Farren, the eccentric owner of Farren Labs, and learn about artificial attunements.
- Seek out Warren Constantine, a previous Arbiter, for training and a potential alliance.
- Find the visage Ferras herself to seek a cure for Sera's condition.
Of course, Corin is Corin, and there's absolutely no chance he's going to be able to stick to a list. Even if he miraculously developed a sense of focus, he isn't the only one with plans....
The Blackstone Bandit. Everyone's favorite mysterious book entity. The aforementioned Farren. A vacationing professor. The mirror of a figure from Keras' past. When their plots intersect, Corin and his friends are, predictably, stuck at the center.
It's going to be a long vacation.

Starts a lot of plotlines, doesn't continue any.
I think this series is turning in a direction that I really don't like. I am not a fan of long-running series in general. I like the tight trilogy, the three, maybe four book arc. Unfortunately this author is writing this book like he has 14 more in which to explore his plot. He starts a dozen new plotlines and introduces a bunch of new characters while moving the pre-existing plotline almost not at all. Also it heavily references the author's other books that are part of this universe but not part of the main series which is just annoying. If I had to read the side books to understand this one then make them part of the main story, don't make me feel clueless just because you don't know how to write a cohesive plot.
I'm probably done with this series after this installment. What a letdown.

Boring and Tedious
I literally could not listen to this anymore. This book was going nowhere. It consists of back and forth banter that does not advance the story in any way. I listened for a few hours on and off and finally decided to return it.
I enjoyed the first two books in this series, as well as the spin-offs. I think this might be the last one in this series that I listen to. The reviews obviously can't be trusted. I cannot believe that someone actually gave this book a five-star review. Lately it seems as if authors are just adding filler books in the series to boost profits and not advancing the plot or storylines.

Relationship Fails
Relationships. That’s what destroys this book, and really, the overarching story. The first book, Sufficiently Advanced Magic was great, though signs of relational incompetence were there, the overall story, presentation, and especially, Nick Podehl’s performance, saved the book. Each subsequent book has seen the gross incompetence of the author, when it comes to relationships, subsume the rest of the book and the characters.
There is nothing realistic in the way these characters interact. The dialogue and reactions read like a mental conversations I had with myself in my early teen years. The main character, Corin, demonstrates either supreme selfishness or split-personality disorder. In one moment, he’s a neurotic boy on the autism spectrum, in the next, he’s the psychologist who’s treating a neurotic boy on the autism spectrum. Corin will simultaneously identify the appropriate human reaction and deliberately refuse to do it because: reasons. It appears that Mr. Rowe is attempting to portray a autism spectrum person in a sympathetic light, but all he’s done is prove that Corin is not on the spectrum, rather is a self absorbed, spoilt brat. Being in Corin’s head is what I imagine being a trust-fund baby is like.
Time and time again, interactions between characters read like “ought to behave this way” lectures, rather than genuine human companionship and conflict. I suppose if you were to establish a group of people by requiring a minimum number of psychiatric disorders to be included, you may find naturally occurring group dynamics like those that surround Corin. To say the relationships seem force and artificial is about the best compliment I can give the book’s character development. Decisions are arbitrary and often capricious. The most common reaction I have to the characters’ behaviors is confusion followed by annoyance. This has quickly turned to apathy. Corin, Sara and the gang do not act like any people I’ve ever known. Their alien behavior makes them boring.
Unfortunately, relationships seem to be the keystone that this story is meant to be built on. Relationships are the weakest and least engaging aspect of the Arcane Ascension series. The world is interesting, the characters are not.

And then nothing happens
This book is a definite downgrade from the previous books. The end of two relieved alot of the building tension and this book feels aimless without it. This is made worse by the fact that Corrin feels almost superfluous to large portions of the book. Rowe seems to be writing Sarah as Corrin+. She's always right and and is better than him in basically every scenario they run against, and her tendency to treat Corrin like a child got old fast.
To summarize: This book barely feels connected to the plot and poor use of character just makes it worse.

Found polical agendas where I hoped to find story.
This book definitely belongs in the LGBTQ genre...
Characters are supposed to be young and inexperienced yet somehow they are wise beyond their years, full of humility, and overflowing with empathy and compassion for everyone around them (humans, creatures and inanimate objects....??) They take pains to use politically correct pronouns when referring to both people and monsters...to the point of absurdity.
I personally found the polical motivations distracting. Okay, so the person identifies as “fill in the blank”. Okay, I get it. Then five minutes later..another reminder...again and again and again until I am wondering if this is truly meant to be entertainment or just a form of political indoctrination? But that just my opinion. Hope this helps.

Boring.
Nick P is one of my fave readers and he did a great job. The book itself sucks. The story slowed way down. The book does a lot of 1x1 battles for each character, but Even in the 1x1s they’re mostly characters asking, “do you mind if I take this on myself? Jump in if I’m going to die” so there’s no real feel of danger, just everybody showing how strong they are. It sets up for a seemingly stronger endgame. The trials are long, and drawn out, often with 1 short battle with minimal danger. The murder mystery trial was absolutely terrible, I chalked the book up as a dud after that.

This is not it. Not at all.
I've read/listened to every book that takes place in this book's world. Previous entries, side stories, everything I've enjoyed some much more than others, but the world building is good so I've kept going.
This book took considerable effort to finish.
First off this IS a side story there are no two ways about it. This book is 95% cheap filler, with painfully slow pacing. It felt like a way to artificially power up the cast for the next entry. This also made the power ups feel unearned and lazy. I understand Andrew likes his side stories, but this was supposed to be a main line book. I am confident you could move onto the next book with a two page summary of this one and be fine. That's how inconsequential most of the events here felt.
Secondly, I am coming to realize that though Andrew Rowe's world is interesting, his characters are not. Their behavior is unrealistic at best, and akin to cringy teenage fanfiction at worst. They simply do not come across as real people as their behavior, choices, dialog and relationships feel extremely artificial. I can go into this from numerous angles but then this review would become an essay so the only one I'll mention here is the dialog. The dialog between characters outside the main group is fine enough, but dialog and especially banter between members of our main party feels like it was written by a nerdy 13 year old girl. This would be fine if all of these characters were nerdy 13 year old girls, but clearly that's not the case. Thinking back, I believe this issue comes up in all of Andrew's works (that I've read) but is overshadowed by the world building and intrigue brought about by the wider plot. As the world building is scaled back here and the wider plot barely inches forward, these problems become much more evident in this entry.
The last thing I'll bring up in this review is how unlikable I found the character of Sera to be. I don't know if the author's goal was for that be the case but it most was the achieved result, at least for me. She came accross as extremely selfish and self serving, which wouldn't automatically make her character unlikable if it was intentional and executed well. That didn't seem to be the case here. This dislike is exasperated because it also feels like the author would like Sera to be our MC, rather than our actual MC.
This book was severely disappointing. I'll get the next entry, because I enjoy the overall world, but if this level of quality persists that'll be it for me and the works of Andrew Rowe.

kind of a side quest
Sarah is suspicious of every person they meet and that is completely warranted but gets old quickly and the quibbling between corin and her gets annoying so annoying that if you drank alcohol every time they said a witty remark towards each other you would get drunk within a chapter.
Sara is op as hell now or going to be when her scaring is completely healed which is not a big problem in her fight's, Corin and mara are also op though for Patrick it's hard to tell because it's mentioned that he's talented but there aren't actually many fights and Patrick doesn't really fight or even appear in any of them,Cecily is new and doesn't have that many appearances ether but her relationship with Corin is wierd and I'd rather see more of jin plus not big on the Shy thing and the romance parts are cring
in total great world building not much action at all which made a lot of bots boring especially when they went into the tower but it's a good precursor for book 4 that will probably be action packed, some questions awnsered but even more have been raised which is how I like it, would have liked more Caris in general but I guess I'll have to wait around two years for book 3 of the sacret sword side arc thing and even longer for the next book in this series to come out but as long as it's got a lot more action I'll be happy

So glad to hear Nick bring the story to life again
The gang is on break in Caelford and so much happens! I love how much we learn during this book and an interaction with a certain professor stands out as one of my favorite moments from this book.
The tone shift is different in this book - we had school and the newness and fun of magic in the first two, and now we are really learning about the broader socio-political implications of the world and just what Corin is involved in. The stakes are higher and I can’t wait for AA4!

much world building, less progress
i love the book, but to me it feels a little bit like an intermission - meaning it has a different structure from the first two books. this was to be expected given the start but i thought this would go farther in the timeline.
the book had a lot of information to dump. so the characters get to know more about major events instead of being part of them here.
without spoiling anything, i think there are a lot of hints of things to come and important hints about developments in the past (connections to the other books) here so i think i will revisit it a few times to comb through for details but would much rather have read this book right before the next book. - sadly time is linear and i will have to wait ;)

Stalling but still fun
The plot stalls a bit, but there is still a lot of fun stuff. There are also major world building plot holes (like the distance of the train ride, which was longer than Paris to Beijing and everybody speaking their language at the other end). But it doesn't take itself too serious to it can all slide. Just wish the author wasn't stalling the plot so much.

Good intelligent action story
And character development. It's rather preparation for the next boom. Describing more context and the broader scope attaching more strings to the story.

Let down
Surprisingly boring - from the first book with the bliss of world-introduction, captivating progression (in skills or tech) & character-development, just the last one remained interesting enough to keep the reader attached to the book.
Not much action & even the little that happens is not really captivating.
Not happy with this book. Solid speaker-performance though.

Best within the series/universe so far
Excellent combination of careful world building, great story telling and tongue-in-check humor.
And lots of openings and plots for more future books in this universe.

Disappointing
Research, but no progress. Feels more like a textbook, without practical application. Skill and mana levels are somewhat the Main Focus, but in fights play no role whatsoever. How can weak students fight demigods, while strong emeralds die like flies?

Less funny, more depressing
Story is good as always but less funny and lightweight. Four words are left

Solide Fortsetzung. Slice of life/Worldbuilding
Während die Rückkehr zum Turm erklimmen und die ruhigere Atmosphäre eine willlommene Abwechselung waren, ist mir das Buch zu PC. Womit ich nicht die Realen gesellschaftlichen Probleme verwerfen möchte, sondern die unehrliche und prädigene Art. Brauch ich persönlich jetzt nicht in meinen Fantasy Büchern oder Lesungen. Eine nette Fortsetzung die man sich gut anhören kann, aber man eventuell damit belassen möchte.

Loved to listen to this audiobook
I have sincerely enjoyed all three Arcane Ascension audiobooks. The story is very smooth, the world building intriguing, and main characters very likeable. The audio version is also very well read with dynamic voices that never get boring.
