Soulbound 3: A LitRPG Fantasy Adventure (2025)

As per my review of book 1 (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...) and book 2 (https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...), there's a good series struggling to emerge, but it's being drowned by haphazard writing, poor editing, and an almost legendary flood of continuity errors.

This book is also notable because it's nominally the conclusion of a three book arc, but is almost entirely seperate from the story told in the first two books, and ends in the middle of a narrative.

....which is this series to a T really. If the author says it's three books forming a single arc, of course it's actually a two book arc and then what seems to be half of a second two book arc. I would have been shocked at any other possible outcome; everything else is self-contradictory and confused, why not this?

(All joking aside, I feel sympathy for the author, who added a plaintive note at the end of the book about poor sales, and I get it, but dude: You have some great ideas, and you could be a great author, but you need to stop, take a deep breath, reread what you wrote, and just...write better. Words matter! Don't introduce a character or macguffin or subplot and then forget about it and never resolve it, or resolve it and then forget and reference it being resolved a different way a few chapters later! Think about the implications of the LitRPG mechanics you add, and then remember them and respect them in later chapters.)

Pretty good with some I consistencies

Honestly the book and series is a really good concept so this is why I give it 5 stars.... but I tell ya, others who can't stand random inconsistencies like having the elf who has black hair be blonde on your cover or just randomly deciding hey this girl can be bonded but be with another man, to how slow Elvira and her relationship is growing.... there are countless other things, constantly finding perfect items to this is tough fight, OH wait they are weak to easy.... there is alot of frustrating things but... I enjoy the concept and hope it continues.

A well written series A+

the characters are all three-dimensional, especially the harem. arguments and all, they mesh like a group of group of friends or even sisters. the plot has been well developed, with many changes from start to finish and believable character realizations. overall, I have greatly enjoyed the series so far. I hope to see more in this A series in the future. it is way better than any harem series I've read so far, and even better than the majority of fantasy novels as well.

major changes for our fun adventure

I believe the story is just getting started and I am interested in seeing where it is heading.

I would say this is the beginning of a new arc in the story and a lot of things have changed in a very short time…as this book has a different feel and different goals then book one.

Many mysteries to solve and people to save so I would like to know what happens next.

Soulbound trilogy

I chose this rating as I thought if they got rid of some of the sex scenes and added a little more to the how they went through their upgrades to improve their capabilities would have made for a better book. Also would have like to seen a little more of the reasoning why Giovanni replaced Cade as his adopted heir.

All 3 books were such a great read

Each book has a great storyline, MC that can stand alone, but all the supporting characters only add more excitement and adventure to each page you read. And as you get further into the story, you envision yourself being there. I'm waiting for the next book in the series. Your great writer Cassius Lange.

Book 3 is a solid modern fantasy/rpg book in a series which has turned out better than I expected. The goofy sidekicks are handled better than in many other books of the sort and the overall tone, while pretty dark, is lightened somewhat by not taking itself too seriously. Hopefully there's a 4th book.

Excellent Series

This entire series has been very enjoyable. It is fast paced, filled with well done characters, action,you adventure, and more than a bit of spice. I really hope that the series continues.

Loved the read. Silly and serious at the same time.

Enjoyed the series Book 1-3, didn't rate 1,2 because I couldn't wait to continue reading. Great character, for a fun and enjoying read. Thanks for the journey. I hope it will continue into the future!

Great book.

This picks up right where the last book left off, and I thought it was the start of a new arc, but it seems it's the conclusion of the first arc! That makes me new excited for the next book!

The three books so far moved nicely

The story progressed a little fast, but it was well written and saw some mistakes but not enough to care. Really, I would like more and see how far the story goes

Southbound 3: A Progression Fantasy Adventure

An absolutely fantastic book, fast paced and wonderful story. Excellent imagination and brilliant characters. A really good book. Well done.Gary Challenger from Devon UK.

A great series!!!!

A wonderful fantasy series full of wonderful characters, unique magic and lots of adult fantasy activities!!! I've personally really enjoyed the humor mixed throughout this series which has added such an enjoyable real life aspect!!!

so awesome loved every minute

I couldn’t put these books down litterally I read each in one sitting. They were a blast to read!! I love the story telling and the adventures into different worlds.

An excellent payback

The author has created a bit of a different twist in this story. Their escape in the second book of this story brought them to their new home. It's not what and when they were expecting. Well worth reading, now we have to wait if he'll continue the story.

finally getting started

This 3rd installment is finally getting the main fight started it seems. Our main character Cade is getting stronger as well as his lovely ladies ( can’t wait to see what happens with Elvina) hopefully this gets enough support for another arc.

A must read

Overall the series has well rounded characters and an interesting story line. The action flows really well from one point to the next seamlessly and leaves you wanting more.

Enjoying this!

Very much enjoying this series and look forward to the next installment! Fun cast of characters to say the very least.

Darn good

The world building is pretty good. The characters are likeable and the fight scenes engrossing. I would like to read some more.

Sincerely hope more people pick these books up. I enjoy the direction you've taken the series in, and look forward to more arcs.
