Publisher's summary

Charlie Naylor used to work in an office where he pushed paper, filled in spreadsheets, and made coffee. Now, he casts, conjures, stabs, and tames.

When the demigods take over the home of the gods, Charlie finds himself hunted, and he and his friends - a half-gnome, a giant rat, the god of corn, and an old mage - must find somewhere safe.

But can he survive when he crash-lands on a planet and finds himself pitted against a paranoid god and his army of dragons, a world of deadly creatures, and interplanetary pirates?

Loved it!

I have not listened to the previous book, but felt that the story her stands on its own. Although I am curious and will go back and listen to the first one. A well done storyline, with very likable characters. The narration is well done. Highly recommend to those who like fantasy, magic, dragons and the like.


I have been given a free copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

Kinda a let down.

I’ve never been a big fan of when the main character becomes the sidekick and is kind of just struggling throughout the entire story. Always asking why why why am just not pushing

wonderful

Enjoyable fantasy novel.

Let me start by saying that the 2nd book in this series is certainly not a Lit RPG it is more of a regular fantasy novel. There is no stat or power leveling at all in this book which for some could be a plus or a minus depending on what you like.

The universe this book takes place in is interesting and seems like it has a lot of potential considering all the different types of worlds it could take place on and being filled with Gods, Demi Gods and other cool characters. The main character Charlie, seems like a nice guy and seems brave enough but felt a bit weak and useless for most of this book with a few exceptions and some of the other characters didn't seem like they had much to do in this book as compared to the previous one.

The narration by J. Scott Bennett was solid and keeps you interested in the story. If you like more family friendly/young adult fantasy novels this one will be good for you, as far as straight Lit RPG fans it may be a disappointment but I would expect more Lit RPG elements in the future novels as I think one of the major plot points of the book is what kept all the leveling of stats in this one so unless that carrys over to other novels in the series there will probably be a return to form.

Battle of god and demigods continue

A god, specifically the god of corn, and his champion must flee from the demigods and their servants to grow a power base and allies to battle them with. They are forced into a partnership with a demigod whose loyalties are questionable. They are stuck on a planet whose god has gone mad through a sick and twisted form of worship. Where will it all lead and what secrets will be revealed? Well you will just have to Lauren or read to find out. Well written and fantastically narrated.

couldn't get into it

I received this book free of charge for an honest review. didn't get the first book before hand so I have no idea what's going on and a had to give up. seemed like a decent story but without the background I was lost and lacked the interest to start with the first.

anther great book

Just like the last book, awesome story and great choice of narrator. Very classic feel

a bit different than #1 but good

Interestingly, there is not as much LitRPG in this one. In other words, there is not as much gamer type content to the world in this book. It was not a big deal, but I did notice the difference from book 1. That said, I still really enjoyed the listen and think it is worth checking out.

A Good Fantasy Story

I have not read the other books but this book can stand on it's own. I very much enjoyed the book. It is well written and very enjoyable. If you like the play between Gods, demi-Gods, magic, fantasy, dragons and trying to survive a war. Then this is the book for you but you must enjoy these things in order to enjoy the book. The characters are well written The narrator is quite good.

Story could have been better

I enjoyed that the author expanded on how the magic system worked, but I wish it had been done better. Maybe have the MC try out more possible solutions to his problems.

The story also felt somewhat rushed at parts, and certainly lacked much dragon taming.
