I liked the first book, am almost done with the second book now.Genuinely curious what your opinion of the 1st book/series will be.
Lindon (Great, I spoiled myself just looking up how to spell his name since I read on an audiobook and wasn't sure if it was Linden or Lindon, FUCK) is a fine protagonist, I'm sure he'll develop more of a personality as he stops being this underpowered beggar. The power differential in this book isn't a plot device I like as much as a protagonist who is growing alongside his compatriates, but I kinda assume he'll keep getting rando buffs until he's on par with the other people in the book, so that's fine. The world building is interesting, remnants are a very cool plot device that I don't think I've heard of before. I was disappointed that the kid bad guy in the Hidden Valley school that was stuck as a kid didn't become Lindon's frenemy, the idea of an old man being trapped in a kids body trying to undo his screwups is kinda compelling.
