Arcane Transmogrification

Pentacle Series, Book 2

De: Robert Harper

Narrado por: Michael Goldstrom

Danny died a less than heroic death on Earth, was reincarnated in a new world, gained access to a mental sanctuary that ranks his skills, learned he can do magic, discovered that he can't fly, tricked rich old ladies into buying handbags, crafted himself a crude anti-magic girdle, went to magic school, grew a couple of apple trees, was drafted into a secret paramilitary organization, tamed a pet most people would rather never meet, regrew an elf's ears, gained a split concentration ability in the form of his former Earth self, avoided being kidnapped, was almost eaten by a basalisk, watched an airborn wizard play wack-a-troll, saved his friends from a massive ritualistic magic spell, and did a great impression of a human tree ornament.

Then Danny passed out from blood loss and pain.

Now it is all up to Cranny, the embodiment of Danny's split concentration, to get Danny fixed up before the slowly approaching zombie goblin has a nice woodland picnic.

hm...

I will start with that I really do like this series and its magic system. but the relationship he has with the girls and the interactions is simply bad... The author makes the interaction in such a way that mc will always be in the losing side always! the way he ask them, despite hiding secrets such as his friends hiding the fact that his family are basicly now prisoners. despite all this he is so god damn submissive that it is disgusting.
The girls look at some handsome stud but he is not allowed. etc
despite all this the novel is good but I dont know if ill buy the third one.

excellent addition to the series

I loved every moment with the exception of whenever Cranny opened his mouth for the most part. I found him extremely obnoxious and annoying to the point of making me want to break something. I find the magic system fascinating and can' t wait to see what happens when he maxes out some of his skills.

Good book, but the MC is a punching bag

I really do love this story and the premise that it is wrapped around, but the MC has the backbone of a mouse.

I was skeptical

So I read the other reviews for both books in this series, and was put off by the characterization of the MC as spineless. I decided to put this book off for a few weeks, but eventually gave it a chance since I had listened to everything else recommended. There are several spots where the MC just rolls over to the domineering henpeckery of many of the women in this story. Nonetheless, the story as a whole is very well written, and the MC does eventually come in to his own and grow a spine. I had to remember that even though the protagonist is an adult in a child's body, he decides to act like a child to remain unnoticed. Eventually he does come out and take more control and stand up for his actions. Definitely looking forward to the third book.

awesome series

I have really enjoyed this series so far, it has a lot of funny moments I wasn't expecting, but I highly recommend it.

possibly the most braindead MC since zoolander

this story confuses the hell out of me, why do I keep reading about this brainless, ballless, and spineless MC?

It didn't end of a clif hanger.

Everybody can calm the heck down because I agree that the first book ends on a big clif hanger and for those of us that had to wait this was a huge deal. But I have read this and the third book and neither end on clif hangers. I have to say that this book was great but in book three there is a scene that will really get you in the feels.

Goooood

Interesting story. Better then the first. Eagerly awaiting the next book. The narrator did an excellent job as always.

good series

so far the only reincarnation that starts out as a baby and going threw life and trials. need more books like this or similar. hopefully the next audible comes out soon

Still Entertaining

The story is still entertaining and while it is definitely shaping up into a Harem story, it has avoided the strange, kinky fetish stuff - so far. I really enjoy the split personality aspect of the story where his physical self, Danny, is mostly that of a teenager in a strange land and the sub-conscious self, Cranny, is his former self as had existed on earth along with the internal conflicts that occur between them.

Onto Book 3.
