Publisher's summary

A giant telepathic parrot with a rather foul mouth, a horde of smelly goblins, and a tyrannical demon priestess…

Welcome to Devon Walker’s “new normal.”

During her first weeks in the deeply immersive VR game, Relic Online, she’s hacked out a home from a choking jungle, gathered a tribe of loyal followers, and earned a wisp stalker who insists she’s some kind of champion.

But Relic Online isn’t some wussy kids game, and there will be no easy-street cruising for Devon. Like a monk racking up combo points, the system opens a fresh offensive by crippling her most powerful ability. Following through, it strangles the village food supply, sends demons bursting through rifts in the Earth, and delivers a final, devastating throat punch by exploiting Devon’s worst fear.

The players have discovered Devon’s home. Now everything changes.

Awesome

Just as good as the first book in the series. Great story, great narration, amazing voice talents.

meh storyline though picked up at end

I love soundbooth theater they definitely know how to bring a book alive. that being said the story line is pretty okish, dont really like how the top game software developer has issues when it comes to a second party AI....he goes to weird lengths to stop an outgoing data stream... easier ways for a programmer to do that. but realism aside the characters are decent but I feel like the jokes are pretty weird or maybe I dont have the right sense of humor. weird sarcasm from the AI... all around a good series so far but well see what the next has book has in store.

better

This was an improvement over the last installment, and the last book was already pretty good.

Another intriguing story

Devon's world does sound rather interesting, I would personally love to get lost in Relic Online. So onwards and upwards.

Keeps getting better!

I loved the first one and this one keeps building on that foundation. I can definitely recommend this series! And the narration is also praiseworthy.

if you liked the first book you'll like this one

very much a continuation of the first book. you won't be too surprised where it goes. fun and enjoyable

Truly riveting story

The plot thickens and grows well. Some predictable segments that are still used well to build characters. Neat confluence of various features of the LITRPG genre.

Loved this. I was sucked into the series immediately with book 1, and couldn't put book 2 down either. I even grabbed 3 and 4 for kindle, since they arent on Audible. At this rate I will finish 4 books in 4 days. A compelling adventure, a fantastic concept and an amazing world, end to end.

pretty good

Story was good. sound booth preformance well done as always. It just didn't hold my attention like the first book did.

Hooked on Stonehaven League Books!

Carrie Summers' Stonehaven League books have the perfect amount of character sheet / mechanics for an audiobook. Enough to enjoy geeking out over some stats and abilities (and settlement building!), but not so much that they meld into a droning litany of numbers. I wish the next two books were on audiobook already. I'll probably read the ebooks because I needs me some more Stonehaven, but I'd strongly consider still picking up the audiobooks when they become available, particularly if the same narrators are used. This is turning into my favorite LitRPG series. Love the game world, the balance between settlement building and exploring, and the AI's wry sense of humor!
