Continue Playing the Game? Yes / No

The Kingdom of Thera is a crossroads to many worlds and realities. Here a secret war between the gods plays out via their proxy mortal champions. These player-champions use all the augmented-reality interfaces and game mechanics that role-playing and video gamers know and love.

Join Hektor Saint-Savage, marine and martial artist extraordinaire; Morgana Nox, shape-shifting druid-thief and trickster; and the cantankerous dwarf Elmac Arguson as they punch, blast, stab, and slither their way through the second Hero of Thera novel.

Can they outwit, outfight, and outrun assassins? The Imperial Knight Champion of Chaos? Feisty gnomes with slide rules? A horde of a thousand inebriated simians?

There’s only one way to find out....

Eric Nylund is the New York Times best-selling author of many novels - including HALO: The Fall of Reach. He has helped create over 50 video games like Gears of War. He lives near rain-drenched Seattle.

Fantastic

A great story, amazing narration.

Only complaint, it’s too short, and the wait for the next one is too long. lol

Fun and funny

This was a great addition to the series and I can’t wait for the next one.

Great continuation, Fast paced Adventure LitRPG

Once again a very fast paced adventure, however after adjusting to the pace of the first book I burned through this one in under a day. We get a few new characters in this book some interesting some annoying, We get some more character development for Hector and the main secondary characters become much more fleshed out. Unfortunately the main character doesn't come off as very bright though that seems to happen a lot in the genre so nothing can really be done about it, as a result it's a very seat of your pants story from one event into the next without the typical time spent going over stats and skills and only really using them in the heat of the moment to try and turn the tides of battle. A good portion of the book feels mostly like a side quest, with it being left over from book one and being used to escape another quest chain it basically is. After completing said side quest in one form or another the main quest catches up with them to get the main story progressing again then just ends abruptly, though I don't think it was as unsatisfactory as everyone seems to be complaining about as it was predictable that it would end that way. The world building advances a little bit but it feels like there were some changes to it between the first and second books making it feel a little too flex able. Overall it's a great continuation to the story and once again if you want a very fast paced Adventure LitRPG I recommend it.

Really good but with a couple of issues

I really enjoyed this book. It’s a good continuation from the previous one. The character progression is a little slow but it seems solid. The characters are also likable and the adventures are fun. The litrpg aspects are well done and the class system is cool.

Now on to the negatives. There’s a relationship in the book and it’s not with the MC. This makes the MC seem like a third wheel for most of the book. He also hordes skill points to an insane degree. For most of the book he has spent almost no skill points on non combat skills. This is a continuation from book 1. It kind of drives me crazy that he doesn’t just sit down and get it done.

Hektor where have you been

Hektor is a witty, slightly naive, and chivalrous character you can’t help but love. Morgana is a woman after my own heart. Thanks for providing a more mature woman, and not a high school or college girl. Elmac is a rough around the edges dwarf, you can’t help but root for. I love the series and look forward to the next audible book

everything a great litrpg should be

if you're a fan of the genre, then you should pick up the series. fast paced action, thoughtful writing, humorous, there's only a couple of minor problems with some unrealistic scenarios.
par for the course , Jeff Hayes does a greatl job.

good but didnt add to story

great voice acting and a fun read, but the story didnt contribute to the overall story. the 1st book was Incredible but this book didnt have the same drive

great

just a good book that you can easily get lost in for days on end

more dammit

soooooooo freaking good! read this series now. if your looking for a good LITRPG to start on or one to slate your thirst this is amazing.

very good

I've really enjoyed this series this far, it's very unique, the characters are very likable and interesting.
