Pendulum of Fate, Part 1

Painting the Mists, Book 14

By: Patrick G. Laplante

Narrated by: Adam Verner

To help his allies, he’ll make the world his enemy.

Cha Ming is back in Verdant Crossroads, and for now, his allies are safe. The Thread Seer has chosen to honor her promise and has begun crafting a new body for the Monkey King.

Her seclusion has not gone unnoticed, however. Verdant Crossroads’ traditional allies are giving them the cold shoulder, and their neighbor, the Republic of Fendal, is now eyeing their territory.

It falls to the junior Thread Seer, Clever Dusk, to cobble together a defense—and to Cha Ming, her teacher, to help her. As a craftsman, Cha Ming has no trouble finding allies. But he and his friends are much better at finding trouble instead.

But maybe all the chaos they’ll cause is a good thing? Cha Ming’s research on rankers and Daoism infringes on the domain of the gods. The last thing he needs is for Mendin’s deities to notice him.

SPECTACULAR

awesome!!!! I appreciate character improvement feel like now we just need more staff art's from him

Pretty good

This overall was good. I’m just glad the MC finally resolved his past and moved on. It was really aggravating to see him want to go so slow with his love interest.

limitless potential

I love this series. Has the potential for like 30 books with the cultivation scaling.

well written

I'm not sure how the author comes up with such amazing characters and worlds but I'm hooked. greatest series I've ever read/listened to. extremely under rated in my opinion. thanks

The love interest

Why dose he keep going back to her like dam move on im so tired of it it makes it boring like dam find a new love it makes me think about not listening to it anymore

Cha Ming is confused

Cha Ming wanted to get Ue Wen back in her next life. He gets her but won't proceed for dumb reasons. Cha Ming should understand how reicarnation works and under stand she will be a different person. Also I don't get why the author puts Cha Ming in overwhelming situations instead of having on par opponents. I'm a bit tired that the only people he can fight are above his power level and then he can do nothing but break himself.

This is one of the weaker books

The only reason it’s a three star not a four star is cause I’ve gotten used to his amazing writing this was just not as good there wasn’t as much depth to the story there was no great adventure it was just a bundle of nearly side story ask activities There are a couple of things that I think make should make it into a book of the main story but it seems like a side story and it’s the next book in the series which is a little discouraging I hope the next one is better
