Publisher's summary

Martin and Iron Riot have made their mark on the Dungeons of Strata, slaying the first of the nightmarish Archdukes faster than anyone could have hoped. Yet the dungeon has left its marks on them, too.

Scarred with wounds that will not heal and changed in ways that he cannot comprehend, Martin must contend with the mysterious true nature of the game and the lengths that the Masters who made this world are willing to go to keep their secrets.

The Masters have complete control over everything in Strata. They now hunt Martin outside the game, using every means at their disposal to put a stop to his progress.

But they have forgotten the age-old adage: never corner a rat.

IRON RIOT!!!

THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING! The story is top notch and has psychological tension. First book I actually had to read certain sections multiple times. I was fully engaged in this book. GREAT sequel that enlightened things from the first book.

Had me at the start but.

So I have a very mixed opinion about this book. On the one hand, the story its self is good however I really don't think the author thought about the difference between written and audio when writing this book thats not ment as anything other then in written text you can skim and skip the repetitive word not every book is ment to be in audio format. I say all of this because for me the second half of the book was a huge struggle to get through and their were points were I almost quit reading the book and that was a big disappointment becausei enjoyed the first one but for both big fights, one being with the stone snake women and the second the archduke with the archduke being the worst with the overly repetitiveness with the echos. It adds nothing to the book and it's annoying and it made me want to skip both fights. The first book had a bit of repetition but this was ridiculous and overly done and it damaged the over all story for me. Again the story it self was good not as good as the first but but if you don't mind the repetition then you should love this book it was not for me.

Very good

A very good continuation to a very unique take on litrpg. Well done, with really great mythology to it. Here’s looking forward to the final entry in the series.

Fantastic continuation of the first book!

I love the fun setting this author has created, the stakes are high but not enough to deter the characters from trying new and creative things. Grim and dark but not truly grimdark, unless the third book proves me wrong. fun listen and I'll be relistenimg to this for sure!

Not a conclusion!!!

The end of book 1 said book 2 would conclude the story. It didn’t!!! This one says that book 3 will conclude the story, who knows of that odd true. I like the story, but I don’t like people or books lying to me.

The author lied and was tempted by the money grab.

At the end of the first book the author said it would conclude in this one. It does not. It is clear that the original intent was to complete the story, and then they realized that they could string people along.

Lindsey describes this book succinctly: Boring

This book is about a dysfunctional emotional stunted set of people. The MC is seriously and legitimately either autistic or a sociopath. An entire book of pointless angst and rage.

The narrator tries, but regularly mispronounces words and uses the wrong voice.
