8k Admiral's War
I think the destination is great, I just don't see you able to do more than 3 full books worth with it all front loaded like this, and when I would honestly prefer to see a 12 book arc getting there. The journey can be more fun than the grand super powered culmination at the end. Its all about the struggle against the bad guys which is hard to keep fresh if you top out early.
Personally I loved her range increase and didn't understand how the S9 survived. I get that it was some kind of reality/illusion reboot but the text didn't make it clear. And if it was a reality reset why couldn't she reboot some of her adult dwarves? Like I said not quite clear enough for me to see the leverage areas.
Honestly I like the idea of a clan of dwarves popping up the state park of a super-hero modern world. I just wish some of her master craftsmen survived as well as see a few of her electrician dwarves really take off. I also liked how people assumed that Overseer was geographically limited, because of 13 seasons of isolation while she rebuilt her clan/army. Its clear top me that she wasn't going to risk the outside world until she was back to full strength or somewhere close to it.
Anyway really cool start, I'd just like 'more' which might be hard if she's top of the world class already.
