Time of peace was needed for the countries that have been facing war for a very long time. They have been destroyed completely during the war, although they have achieved success in the war they have lost some precious things too. This is the time to rebuild because another attack from the foreign world may start at any time. It is better to strengthen when you have the time. Kai didn’t know much about his skills in the past but now he knows what he is truly capable of.
The new duties which are assigned to him as the head of the country are tough but he has to fulfill those duties in order to make the kingdom strong. The second country which TJ Reynolds talks about is Anvar which is being governed by Rhona who has a deep connection with the realm of the Gold Mind. She must keep her past aside and should start working for the prosperity of the people who are depending on her.
The country needs a rebuilding process as everything has been changed to rubble previously. Bancroft is the Erath Core who should start trusting the allies and think beyond his limits. It is his mind which is stopping him to take the next step and help the people present all around. First Fist is a different story altogether so along with this book, The Guild Core 1: Dragon Bourne would be more helpful because it is on the same theme.
Entertaining stuff always needs an entertaining voice and Steve Campbell provided the perfect voice for the entire series, even the fans don’t want any kind of change in the narration because they are used to the situation.
