Tower of Somnus, Book 2

By: Cale Plamann

Narrated by: Andrea Parsneau

Success is more treacherous than failure, bringing dangerous attention, and potentially unbeatable foes.

Kat beat the bad guys and scored a pile of credits deep enough for her to fill a kiddy pool and go swimming in it. What she didn’t expect was for the mastermind of her plight to survive, as well as do her a favor: She removed her from the Arcology, and enrolled her in the GroCorp corporate college. She knows the Arcology, but this is a chance to earn enough credits to set her family up for life.

But people are disappearing, and betrayal lurks around every corner. Kat is out of her depth, and everyone is playing for keeps. Only by relying on every erg of power she’s managed to scavenge from the Tower of Somnus does Kat even begin to stand a chance.

What if the power she earns comes at a price that isn’t hers to pay?

Great writing and voice acting

I love the story, it’s have litRPG half action thriller. Corporations rule the world and the elites managers on up. Most people are in debt to the companies from birth and can never make enough money to pay it back.

Excellent

I normally expect a second book to be lackluster as it bridges book one and book three. This book is not like that. It may start just a little slow, but that slowness has a purpose in the character building and it resolves soon enough. Again, I love that this series has a great storyline out of game. The in game material is very cool, but the "real world" plot is great. High stakes and intense. I love it.

A good second book

I was worried the second book would fall into the common jinx of being bad. But for the most part I think this book avoided that calamity. Feels most like book 1 and 2 write together than two separate endeavors. Was enjoyable and left me wanted the next book.

I want more

I like it and it has me wanting more. the story is great, the dystopian world mixed with the game world makes for a talk of overcoming tyranny.
my only complaint is the use of they/them pronouns for the alien. I don't care about catering to the wokists, but it just makes it sound plural when referring to an individual.

Damn yous

Yes this book is great and you should listen. It tugs at the heart.
