good book

Recently deceased and squishy as hell, Alan, a newly minted Illusionist, is forced to flee for his life. He needs time to deal with his loss, both in-game and IRL, but first he’ll have to escape his crazy ex, the treacherous Firebrand, Thalia Daceran.

On his way to safety and revenge, he’ll team up with Titus, the Imperial spymaster, as well as a crew of pirates, commandos, and even a shapeshifting Mimic with a taste for blood. His path leads to Wyrdtide, a gaslit city hidden in mists and governed by dark demigods.

From James A. Hunter—author of Viridian Gate Online, Rogue Dungeon, War God's Mantle, and the Yancy Lazarus Series—and D.J. Bodden, author of The Black Year Series, comes an epic new entry into the Expanded Universe of Viridian Gate Online that you won't want to put down!

Point of view

I was hoping it was just the first book in the series but the point of view changes throughout the book can be very confusing. New character perspectives were introduced very late in the book which at times was interesting but at other times was confusing or frustrating. I do like the overall story but the issues I mentioned can make it difficult to keep up with which is why I only gave it three stars for the story. The viridian gate online is still an interesting world and I like the main character so it certainly has some redeeming qualities.

Good book two

Follows along where book one left off with good intensity and remains true to the storyline from the first book

great story

been listening to all these books in the viridian gate online series loving every minute

Loved it

It is more VGO awesomeness, great narration. If you have listened to any of the other books, then you already know it's entertaining
