About this ebook

The Sacred Kingdom has enjoyed a great many years without war thanks to a colossal wall constructed after a historic tragedy. They understand best how fragile peace can be. When the terrible demon Jaldabaoth takes to the field at the head of a united army of monstrous tribes, the Sacred Kingdom's leaders know their defenses are not enough. With the very existence of the country at stake, the pious have no choice but to seek help wherever they can get it, even if it means breaking taboo and parlaying with the undead king of the Nation of Darkness!

Ratings and reviews

this is another great addition to a great series this one is "shorter" then the last but it is part 1 of 2 so i think this is better because i get to read half now and part 2 later in the end im just glad to see my favorite world again hats off to you my good sir o/

Many people are complaining that the story was short. However, that's only because the previous volumes were actually long in comparison. The light novel format is suppose to be around 200 pages and is best compared with pulp fiction in the West. The education level that it is written for is generally at middle school level (in Japan), although there are exceptions, like with Overlord. The reason this particular volume seems short is the fact that the originally planned book was around 500 or so pages, and the publisher asked for it to be split in half as it would no longer be a light novel. The quality of the writing has not been diminished, and the story is engrossing as ever.

It was ok. Felt like it started real slow and way tooo long for the main character to come in. Like halfway through the book. Story is pretty short also
