Adventurer

Ends of Magic, Book 2

De: Alexander Olson

Narrado por: Phil Thron

The magical world of Davrar is inhospitable and strange. Terrible monsters roam, ancient dungeons lurk over every hill, and the prophesied Endings promise doom.

But it's Nathan Lark's new home. He's developed his antimagic and found friends in the most powerful Adventurers of his generation. They've sworn an oath to defend the city of Gemore and defeat the Endings.

On the horizon is the enslaving mage-empire of Giantsrest, and Archmage Taeol dho Droxol hasn't forgotten that Nathan holds secrets of Earth. Conflict is certain.

There is only one path forward. Nathan and his friends must advance.

great book two, but shorter then the last one

good story telling but ending felt kind of abrupt looking forward to the next book. performance was great as always

great series

I highly recommended this series and hioe everyone injoyd this book as muchas I did

Strong follow-up to a great debut!

Book 1 of this series was brilliant. I fell in love with Nathan as a character and the world Alexander Olson built. Book 2 goes from strength to strength. More of the same in all the best possible ways. I can't wait to see where we go from here.

Refreshing Character Loyalty

A fun progression fantasy in a complex world with monsters, villians, battles, and levels. My favorite part is the connections between the characters of the main team.

Good...

This was a decent second book.
I like how Nathan is extremely levelheaded. He has a very sharp mind & an even temperament. He is advancing not only himself but also the "Heirs", his other new friends & his new community as a whole. He doesn't haphazardly introduce concepts from Earth that could wind up being detrimental to his new world if the technology or knowledge were to fall into the wrong hands. He's also making some fairly heavy hitting enemies with the choices he continues to make, but he is determined to remain on a path without regret. He knows every action has a reaction and there are consequences that come with the distribution of power.
I find it funny how he always ends up naked. Here's hoping he finds a permanent solution to that conundrum.
I really did not like the recap of attained skills and talents at the end of pretty much every single chapter. It was completely unnecessary. Honestly, it felt as though it was only added to increase the total word count of the book to please the publisher. Even more so when we'd get an in depth recap less than 30 seconds after we were initially informed of a personal advancement. I have to knock a star off for that alone.
I did enjoy the Afterward recap though. I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be recapped again at the start of book #3.
