Next 5 Chapters. Trilogy Title Revealed.

Hey Everyone,

So, this week was rough for me. Jetlag really kicked my ass all week and I'm only back to feeling human now. I've a lot of edits ahead of me with Book 4, and I've already submitted the cover art concept for Book 5, which I've been calling Legions in my own head for a bit.

Legacies, Legions and Loyalists will be the titles for the second trilogy. I've been mapping things out, and I'm happy with the direction of them so far. Anyway, these chapters have a moment that has been put on the long finger for far too long. Let me know what you think of it. :)

Also, from my own skewed judgement... I don't think it's an evil cliffhanger this week, but you can correct me if you think I'm wrong. :D

Anyways, hope you all had a great weekend. I'll see you guys next week!

Brian

STANSTAN42

Thank you sorry you had a rough week. I got excited when I saw new chapters.

Raymond Mouton

Thanks. Sorry you’ve had a rough week. The cliff didn’t leave any injuries when I fell over…

Pickled Rick

Your a legend Brian but please I am at work! Can you not release these chapters at 3GMT so I can read them on my train home after work.😂 I can't be caught giving into temptation and reading the chapters at my desk.

IAMather

Thanks for the chapters! Still looking forward to administration class and seeing what the private guild marketplace is like. Figure the auction got postponed or skipped because curriculum change with Chatfield.

Chandni R

Damn. Looking forward to these after I finish work today ❤️

David

Can't wait to read these chapters! Tftc

Dawn Zeleznik

I don’t think it was a cliffhanger, just never enough. You could give me the whole book and I’d want the next. Thanks for the hard work.

Heather Herren

Awesome!!! Thank you for the chapters!!!

Thank you for the chappies! Friendly possible edit: Chapter 23: For my reader it was the sentence at the end of page 2 and the beginning of page 3 of the 5 page chapter... Quote: "The important think to him was that she was doing it for the right..." think ==> thing

Pickled Rick

#Edit Suggestion He smiled warmly at Mica before getting to his feat, turning his attention back towards Sal and Divinity. "I've a few more simulations to run. Think you mean feet here not feat, Chapter 21. Pulling at the weaves, Sal started to optimise it as best he could. It was likely just his imagination, but the way the way the weave darted up and down in jagged triangles, made him think of a set of fangs Chapter 22 "the way" is repeated here.

Bryan Swanson

Thanks! Loved the chapters! Have you considered Petro doing initial martial arts exams for all Training Guild new joins?

John Klein

Awesome. No cliffhangers but still left wanting that next hit of literary smack.

Volarus

These chapters were very refreshing somehow. I liked the introduction of Hannah and them (Hannah an Sal) being able to sort things out. Good job!

Rielgesh

Loved the chapters, thanks! Edit suggestion: I wasn't sure if you were leaning into Divinity's precognition, but the "Will I save you seats..." is normally, "Should I" or "Do you want me to", instead of 'will'

Chris Hoopes

Awesome chapters. I'm glad to see Hannah sorted out.

Fortunis

Ok that cliff hangar comment just means I'm waiting till the next release to binge all of it 😆 🤣

C

Good Chapters. Im glad Hannah and Sal are getting things sorted out, it was always kinda in the back of my mind that they should talk and clear the air. I like hannah, hope she joins the guild. Also, Chapters need more Upgrade; that's my only critique. Maybe check in on Vanessa, too.

Kiwi

Hmmm Legions…. Is it in relation to the Dragoons? (Like the Roman legion?). The fact some Guilds can buy Savior spots is a pain, it cheapens the achievements of the other students. I wonder if it’s to cause resentment. I don’t think Quest can lie straight in bed hahaha always pulling a bait and switch with the students. So many trust issues incoming 😂 Also, not really a cliff hanger I think. It’s sort of rounds out the introduction to 2nd semester and now we get the meat of the story. I love how the first trilogy started with S and it looks like trilogy 2 is starting will L ….. please tell me trilogy 3 is A and trilogy 4 and P 😂 S.L.A.P 😂(I may be going stir crazy at work).

Finally! I've read through two books just to get closure on Hannah. Everything else has been filler to be honest. It's weird how the first week Sal was all full of hormones but casual flings have been completely absent. The change has been jarring since the first book. I'm loving the start of this one though.

Ron Blondeau

Okay! Where do I start? First off, great chapters Mr. Nordon. I like to think that the social aspects of a story are as important as the technical aspects such as crafting, skills development and combat scenarios. The chapters where Sal talks things out with Divinity and Barry and, rebuilds a friendship with Hannah are so important. You do a great job with that. I also like the pace of character interaction. It would be easy to have Sal offer Hannah an advanced version of her barrier gloves and correct her weave. However, you had Sal think about his feeling towards Hannah and be sympathetic to her background experiences. This makes a good story. Lastly, where the heck is the new saviours list?!!

Kiwi

One thing I’m not keen on is how Sal seems to have lost slight interest in the weaves only seeing it a means to earn Q-cred. Also is it “Challenge Crests” or “Challenger Crests”?

Janet Beane

I loved the ending to Chap 22. This brings some closure to the painful scenes in the past and allows the return of an interesting character and their interactions.

nosense

Weird. I'm getting the impression that's he's more seeing the weaves as resources for crafting both objects and people.

Kiwi

I’m getting the feeling that a few saviours are going to get a class reshuffle, I’d say Sal may become a controller (most likely not) or some new class potentially created that lets him slip into any role. An independent class, can fill the spot on any team.

Kiwi

Call it the “switcher class” just like the demon can become anyone, the hero can fill any role.

triscuit73

Pretty sure that loss of interest had something to do with his therapy sessions with...Dr head? I think. The immortal guy. He pointed out that if he focused entirely on fixing people's skill weaves for 8 hours a day for the next 60 years he wouldn't even finish the top 10 thousand hunters. It's not so much that he's lost interest, it's that he lost the level of hyper focus he was giving it. Also have to remember that he's only had access to the machine for a few days at this point for the first time in months.

Kiwi

Kiwi

I’m just hoping skill weaves doesn’t get a backseat I guess, I find this storyline fascinating.

Jason Reynolds

I think it is more that Hannah and Victoria are friends and she is probably the person Hannah confided in after everything went down, and before she talked to Divinity.

Naotsugu97

Meh. Your cliffhanger game needs work. 😉 Not nearly enough wailing and gnashing of teeth in the comments. Good series of chapters, thanks very much!

John Duncan

Ahhh come on. Bring on the dungeon run. I want to hear what Barry says about "Jackel".

Justin

Excellent set of 5! I think I'm most excited to see how the guilds are going to approach Sal and company going forward. I can only imagine losing aspirants such as Anna and Mica to a trainee guild is going to sting. P.S. I absolutely loved the reaction Hannah had regarding "learning the hard way"!

Dawn Zeleznik

I feel like the sex was more Hannah driven. After the first time Sal knew what he was getting into, but I don’t think he would have expected it just for the gloves. Of course now we know Hannah has a huge inferiority complex.

Dungeonborn

But to be honest the fact that guilds have the buy in option makes it so much more realistic.

Robert Crews

Chapters are great keep them comingqq

Kiwi

Re reading the chapter on Hannah I’m kinda Team Hannah now. To think how terrified she was seeing Sal remove Westor’s power in the stairwell is an eye opener. #teamVolvo

Kiwi

I just realised the cliff hanger…. Sal’s report card I bet there’s a shock on it.

Kiwi

Fingers crossed Upgrade goes too, to see her future Jackal in action. (or even better her completed Mythic Jackal). I wonder if her Jackal will have a different name since it uses Venomstone instead of a Blight core?

Marco

I'm finally caught up. Let me start by saying I love the books. I have read and listened to them a few times and they keep getting better. Great job. I do see how some people might say there is a lot of filler. Some sections or scenes feel dragged out. But it might just be because I'm excited to see specific things. Like when the the friend friends FINALLY sees jacket/dungeon run, the finished mythmark, Upgrades version of the arm, what Sals new threat level is with the new gear, combat training and skills and now how many people are actually paying attention to Sal. I will be blown away if he doesn't have at least 5 masterclass invitation, guild partnerships from a ton of guild and private tutoring and outings with high ranked Hunters. And can one person be more then a support? Is guild master its own class? Also, ever since Arsenal was announce, I am dying for an avenger's themed intro. Just imagin the Mythic guild all in the pocket dimension during a mission, for w.e. mission. The different guild decides to kidnap Sal, he fights them but is getting beat. But then the bad guys starts to monolog, Sal drops a sick one line and opens the gate from the Mythic guild to come out and kick ass! It would be epic. I can 100% see Barry borrowing some weapon he finds inside and using it to kick ass. I can't wait for the next chapters!

Jhaxx

Am I the only one that feels bad for Alex? Sal just keeps stringing him along. I love the entire story but as time goes on I keep asking "Yea, but what about Alex?" And in case I have the name wrong Alex is the guy that makes the "special" coffee / drinks.

Jake Conway

Hey Brian, I'm trying to get caught up, but it looks like a couple other readers and I are having problems with chapters 1-4 of this book. After downloading, they just show up blank. Any chance we could get a re upload of those?

Jake Conway

Actually, I can't seem to get any of the chapters for the new book to download :(

Chris Bagby

I lived these chapters.

Kiwi

He did say two weeks and so far we’re on day 3 I believe?

Sam

I can't wait to see what Sal's report card says and what suggestions are made for his potential future. I can just see someone recommending that he give up Support and become a controller or an offense, especially as he is a guild master now.

Kiwi

Yea I bet he gets recommended to switch to controller and he will double down on support. Especially after Jack was told he should be a controller from Nemesis. I do agree the body manipulators should be offence though, I never understood why they were controllers until Barry highlighted it.

Keith Winn

Five more great chapters! Just finished listening to all 3 books out on audio. I think BN missed a side story in Silvers on what the Reavers guild paid Sal for the Legendary Grade sniper rifle. All that was said is it was a “Hefty Sum”, but his Q credit balance never showed a specific fair value added. Really, the obsidian daggers averaged 15000 Qcred ($750000), how much would that rifle be worth? It seems the Reavers stiffed Sal so how would he and Vanessa react to that, or how would Vila respond to a lowball payment from her guildmaster that blows up the relationship with Myth?

Marco

I can't help but think he will just get master classes for everything. A good amount of teachers said they would give him master class invites. And with all the mythcrafter and skill master stuff, it would be crazy to tell him to fully leave support.

David

I can't believe you actually made me like Hannah. Fantastic job! Sal is starting to lead his life again and I'm happy about thay

Sam

Yeah, I think he got around 4000 Qcred for the rifle. Each Qcred is around 50 dollars so 200,000 dollars for the rifle

Nydia Burdick

Chapter 22 Typo where Sal is thinking: The important think to him was that she was doing it for the right… I think the think should b e thing. Love your books.

Charles Ital

Where can I find the first 19 chapters?

AllBooksForMe

I'm like Charles Ital: where is the 19th chapter? - found 1 through 18 after a bit

Jack

I know I'm commenting significantly after you've posted this, but I effing love the Hannah background. It works perfectly.

Zakalwe

Chapter 21: Mica's eyes widened as glanced at Barry in confusion - "she" missing in this line and "He smiled warmly at Mica before getting to his feat" - should be feet? Chapter 22: the way the way the weave darted up and down in jagged triangles, made him think of a set of fangs. The way repeated. Chapter 23: The important think to him - thing not think?
