Theater of War

The Resonance Cycle, Book 2

De: Aaron Renfroe

Narrado por: Christian J. Gilliland

Deeply changed by his experiences on the fantasy world of Volar, Ty returns home to discover all-new threats and allies awaiting him. With the fate of two worlds on the line, he must do more than become the hero he’s always wanted to be. He must outmaneuver the gods themselves, even as they transform all he knows and loves into one giant theater of war.

Theater of War takes place on Earth and Volar and expands the deep lore of the truly epic worlds in this incredible LitRPG series.

excellent book 2

Picked up right where the last one left off. Component MC finding creative, non plot armor ways to progress against overwhelming odds is always a winner.

Way too much mental stuff and therapy

What is it with the mentally unstable and therapy theme? I thought this was a LIT RPG not a story about therapy and feelings and mentally instability.

There is nothing wrong with a little amount of that. It would make sense, but there is WAY too much focus on it to the point of the losing site of the story. It’s hard to listen to after so much of that nonsense.

Tone it down and this could have been an almost 5 star rating. I have read/listen to over 200 of this genre and this is the only one that goes overboard on this topic to this extreme amount. Book one had too much and it got worse in book 2. I will give book 3 a chance maybe. Or end up refunding.

Stories are supposed to be fun and exciting and etc… not about some guy who can’t handle his emotions to the point where the story is stale and hard to listen to.

Taking a break

The first book did enough to keep me intrigued and I liked the authors premise and changes to a standard litrpg. I was most disappointed with the progress made by the MC which didn’t pick up in the 2nd book but slowed down. MC just gets the crap kicked out of him and uses others for help, the whole insanity deal was getting convoluted too. 20 hours of story for an MC to be at level 3. Stepping away from this one, will finish if I find some motivation. Woe is me MC.

Amazing story!

The author delivered an amazing story and the narrator gave us an authentic performance as well!! A wonderful listen!!!

Very fun read

This is a very fun read. I love how Ty is playing the game master, if you will, and not the game. This keeps things constantly moving and surprised me at several of his choices. They definitely seem “right” for the character, just were unexpected.
