Publisher's summary

The slayer has returned!

Using the power of his mighty familiars, Zander Darkblade has vanquished the imperious highlord, ending the threat to him and his friends and bringing honor to the Ravenflight guild.... Unfortunately, he still doesn’t have a way home.

Accepting that they may be stuck on Aetheria for good, Zander and company take to the roads, honing their skills, clearing dungeons, and adding familiars to their growing repertoire. They choose to embrace a life of adventure, living by the blade and enjoying all of the wonders that this strange new realm has to offer. But a new threat looms in the shadows, and a fated encounter awaits that may shake Zander to his core....

The Aether Gate Saga continues as darkness takes rise in Aetheria. The four great guilds wage war for control of a realm without a leader, and an ancient evil shows its face once more...an evil once powerful enough to slay the gods themselves.

Welcome back to Aether Gate Online. The best-selling litRPG series continues with its second installment, The Blade Guardian! More familiars, more transformations, and more high-stakes RPG action!

Slow start but once it gets going It's amazing!!

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This book is the second in a lit rpg series that will knock your socks off. The plotline is incredible. I love the characters and how each one surprises you with their wit. Definitely a series I would highly suggest!!

Another great piece of the story.

Fantastic ups and downs as the saga continues. Ready to coni the with the next book.

good but the narrator

it is a great series but the narrators voice gets annoying. he didn't do as well of a job as he could have especially on dark blades voice

A good continuation to the series.

This was a good continuation for the series. It was a bit predictable in the overall plot. That is why I deducted a star.

As with the first title in this series, it combines elements of litrpg and monster taming in the form of sprites in this case.
It's not overly crunchy with numbers which I like.

The narration was very good. This narrator in my opinion adds to the story.

I believe this title is well worth a credit.

A better book

I don’t normally give reviews as I have a difficult time coming up with a way to convey my authentic opinion, but this book had me interested till the end. I’m excited to see where it goes.

I couldn't put it down!

I have really enjoyed seeing the characters grow and the story play out, I'm looking forward to starting book 3 now to see what happens next!

I have enjoyed this series so far

I thought this was a great follow up to book 1. It is well executed and I enjoyed the narration. I definitely think this is a solid example of LitRPG. Worth checking out, in my opinion.

Book 2

I enjoyed listening to book 2 in this series It is as interesting as the first book in the series., I am also looking forward to the next book to listen to.

Book 2 reveals the secrets of the ravens guild and more

First off, LITRPG is a genre that is amazing, captivating and is taking over the fantasy genre fan base by storm. This is the 2nd in an amazing series. The players are trapped in the game and are dying in the world. They were told there was a way home. They just had to help the guild gain an ancient artifact. They were lied to. Nothing but pawns to an ancient evil that betrayed them as much as the one who trapped them in game. Now they are without a guild. Trapped in a game world they cannot escape. New allies will be met and lost. Discoveries of great note will be made. Tragedy will strike. New player classes will return to the game and the world will never be the same again. Great writing, phenomenal narration. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

It just gets better and better!

Another absolutely fantastic read it kept the pace of the first one and the strong character progression both in the character's personality along with the power level. The simple fact that the author is able to pull you in throughout the entire story without parts dragging out for no reason is amazing. I can safely say you will want to have the third book already because you will want to start it right after the end of book 2 its just that good.
