The Realm Between: The Evil Within: A LitRPG Saga (Book 5) Kindle Edition

by Phoenix Grey (Author), El Art (Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 497 ratings
All Azure wants to do is leave The Realm, but the Bower Boys throw a wrench in his plans. Mistakes that Azure made when he first joined The Adventurers Guild come back to haunt him. Uden flexes between good and evil once more as he's put in a precarious situation.

Is vengeance worth endangering all of your friends and possibly dying for? Azure answers that question with steel, taking a path he never thought he'd travel. Once he set foot down it, there was no going back. Decisions were made and someone will pay the ultimate price.

The adventure continues in this part slice of life, part dungeon crawl LitRPG that's reminiscent of a crazy homebrew campaign.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best coherent series !
    Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2020

    I chose five stars because I am totally committed to this series and feel deeply familiar with the characters and the world. I think this book has been the most intriguing of all. I literally cannot put the book down once I start reading it. I find the world of the realm compelling and interesting and believable. It's also been sad, funny, aggravating, and exciting. Characters are true to their selves, the mechanics of it are very enjoyable to me. I like the questing, the relationships, the resemblance to role playing games I'm somewhat familiar with and also I mentioned believability, to me,- that means he (Azure) isn't over the top heroic and he also doesn't blindly do stupid things and so far I like the way any attractions or relations dealing between characters has been handled. I would like to know a little more about his real world and what's going on there but I'm sure that will be covered. There hasn't been any holes in the story or contradictions, anything mentioned isn't just suddenly forgot about, it comes up again, etc. Even characters that are just a tiny mention are memorable and remarkable in their own ways to where I can even remember their names and that's a huge thing when I'm reading. I do not like to have to try extremely hard to figure out who a person is when their name's mentioned and in this series I have not hesitated a bit when a name or occupation, etc. comes up regarding characters. I especially love the small little things that Azure does like fishing and foraging, and cooking. I cannot wait for the next book to come out!!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Adventuring is basically gambling yourself against the universe
    Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I have been enjoying the Azure/William storyline and was a bit shocked by the loss in this one but the ups and downs are there as any adventurer knows. Lonnell always has had his own goals. Uden was too much of a wild card, leaving Azure to wonder if he could ever trust him when he was alive. However they have braved many dangers together and found adventuring to be the quickest source of coin for those willing to gamble their skills, abilities, and very lives for the chance to grow stronger and richer. Or just pay the rent.
    The way dungeons are done is cool and there being single completion dungeons is a great idea. I am enjoying this saga of stories quite a bit and with this books cliffhanger, I am off to read the next.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Slow burn
    Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Ok, let me start off by saying Phoenix sound a pretty good tale. Her writing is above par and she has stayed away from a ton of the tropes of this genre. But, that is also what slows this series to a crawl.
    Give books in and out MC has barely broken into the mid term levels. In the 1 book, he defeated two beings with levels light years ahead, but barely leveled up. In book five he defeats one guy TEN levels more. He gets 200 something points. That's it. His levels should have any rocketed.
    The magic system is very linear with very very low level spells that aren't really learned, they're bought. Trump university style.There are no skill trees.
    The constant state reminds about received beer and empty bails is ok for one book, but by book three, seeing such stats along with picked up non magical herbs is monotonous. No special gear or skills makes for a drab going.
    Five books in, we feel like the MC is stuck in the Newb starter area and can't escape. He's just wandering around collecting bee wings and making sub par minor healing potions.
    Now that that is out the way...
    Phoenix does introduce us to a few really complex characters. Ones where you really want to see how\if they develop. Her dialog is pretty frigging good.
    I say, if you've gone through your other books with characters slinging level one lightening or going to actual schools and learning from teachers, give this slow burn with good writing a chance.
    Just know what kinda dungeon you're diving into though.

    This was good. It kept me interested all the way through. It will be really interesting on how this progresses in the next few books, as the main character progresses in figuring out the realm and the quest with the other player that was talked about at the end of this book. I recommend it.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021

    Loved the vast majority of the book but the mood soured a bit with the last few chapters. For those of you familiar with a certain mmo called RuneScape you might recognize a very familiar plot and quest. That’s the only detractor, and even then it was well written, in an otherwise intriguing entry in this series.

    Wow, such a great series and this book didn’t disappoint. My only wish is that it was twice as long so I wouldn’t be finished yet. I love that the MC is not so super powerful that he always wins. Sometimes gets his ass kicked which is great. Thank you Phoenix Grey, you are truly a talent. Selfishly I want you to hurry and write the next one but I understand they take time.

    Quickly!

    This was a complete joy to read. So many unexpected things, and other things that had been seeded ages ago that, in some cases, quite literally blew up.

    Uden is still my favourite. I can't work out if he's actually trying to flirt withe Azure or not but im totally on that ship as its a ship that leads to hilarity.

    Can we get Azure a container of a sort that he can fill with grease for lighting fire and torches though? It was painful reading him spending precious coins on that when he always ends up so broke lol.

    Cant wait to see whats coming next

    I'm loving the characters and story more each book and cannot wait to read the next one as soon as I finish this review. There are some mistakes here and there but they are just bumps in the road of a good story. I did feel Azure was a bit too stupid at times and decided things absolutely bloody wrong but he did seem to acknowledge it. Cheers!
