About Wolves Of The Wastes:
Banished from his village, an archmage enters the mana-dry wastes.
Keiran, a millennia old archmage, has managed to successfully control the reincarnation cycle and retain all of his memories and skills. That’s about the only thing that has gone right. Mana seems to have all but disappeared, and a cabal of mages have been using the people of his village as a mana farm.
How long was Keiran gone? Where did the mana go? Does it have anything to do with the missing moon from the sky or the bizarre loss of the written language from his first life? Why are the best mages on the level of bumbling apprentices?
Filled with questions and determined to find answers, Keiran journeys to the city of Derro. The Wolf Pack rules over the desert city, and if Keiran wants access to the knowledge they hold, he’ll have to fight for it, one bloody step at a time. For all his skill, he’s trapped in the body of a child in a world where mana is as scarce as gold.

My Thoughts:
Middle chunk of a bigger book. Therefore, not recommended to be read on it's own. Although there is a "primer" at the start to tell the reader a very congested gist of the first book, the reader would still miss out on a lot of the events from the first book which are directly related to events in this book. So, why not read the first book first. Besides, it is fun to red, so why not?
As per usual, the book ended in a cliffhanger. Admittedly this series is just one book sold in parts.
Again, Rylee Kuberra and John Joseph Rogers did a wonderful job of bringing this book to life!

Meet The Author
About D.E. Sherman:
D.E. Sherman grew up reading fantasy and tried his hand at writing his first novel on an old MS-DOS text editor program when he was seven years old. That story didn't pan out; maximum character limits were a thing back then. Undeterred, he kept writing on other platforms, reading full-time, devouring JRPGs, and playing D&D, and he is now the author of the Keiran, God Machine, and Ascendant series. He also writes under the pen name 'EmergencyComplaints.'
