This ain't your daddy's tower defense!

Popper, Jonah, Gretchen, and Alice are back! The Hobgoblin Riot: Dominion of Blades, Book 2. A LitRPG adventure.

Clusterf--k: clus·ter·f--k. Vulgar slang. Noun.

  1. A disastrously and utterly mishandled situation or undertaking.
  2. Popper’s scouting mission to Castellane.

It was supposed to be a simple scouting mission. In and out. No fighting. No new quests. Just me, my hippocorn, Alice, and a few hired mercenaries. We were going to tiptoe into the Spiral, get the info we needed, and leave. You know, the Spiral? That tower-defense run that protects the hobgoblin capital from invaders?

Easy, right? Nobody would even know we were there.

Yeah, so about that....

Seriously compelling, but certainly not what I was expecting after the first one.
The humor and the wonderful writing remains the same though :)

how did this turn into a towerdefense?

I usually don't write out a review, but I had to for this book. The story is as fun as the first book. But the character development is much improved. My heart can't help but break for some of their backstories. The fact that I care about them this much, has enhanced my estimation of Mr. Dinniman. Thank you for this story.

A fun story and amazing character development
