Guess I'm the only one who didn't love this book. For me, this book basically killed the series. First it destroys a bunch of established rules. Such as "essence" not being used up but being drawn back into the body after the cultivator used it. Now it's used up and people need to refill. It also ignores how essence was supposedly being "generated" rather than a constant. We see that in book two where the underground river he finds is concerned.All of this is a setup for the absolutely atrocious ending. One of the most cliche and personally most hated ones. (view spoiler)[It was earth all along! The magic just went away for a time because of Cal! (hide spoiler)] I've seen this twist used so often and it's always complete and utter trash. Add in that the book is basically NOT about the dungeon. The ratio of Dale versus Cal is about 3/1 in favour of Dale and this was the weakest installment of the series by a large margin that completely threw out consistency and established rules for some cheap "GOTCHA!".
