Publisher's summary

It’s been five years since that last bit of bad business and I'm ready to put it all behind me!

Welcome back, my adventurous friends. I’m Shady Greg, and I’ve got a plan.

Jadera—the land that stole me from Earth and assigned me to be a Merchant—is opening a new area soon, and I’m going to be the first to plunder its riches! Ahem, I mean, set up shops that help adventurers like you. At reasonable prices, even!

It's ripe for the taking! I've never seen an opportunity this good. With the dastardly villain of my last adventure out of the picture, there’s really nothing between me and a monopoly of the new Misty Isles!

Nothing could possibly go wrong! Even The Profit thinks it’s a good idea!

(Oh shush, you. I hear you laughing. I’m trying to keep this optimistic!)

A must have

I listened to this audio having enjoyed the first. The second book was even better.

BOOK 2 IS GOOD AS 1. ENJOYED IT ALOT

STORY IS WELL WRITTEN AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

ACCEPTABLE FOR TEENS AND UP.

NARRATOR CHRISTOPHER HARBOUR IS GREAT AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

Another great entry in the dungeon market series

A fantastic novel featuring a main class dungeon merchant as a litrpg. there isnt a lot in the genre that do it this well with a strong focus on actually delivering on the narrative premise of running a dungeon shop. great read and fantastic performance as always. recommended

Great GameLit Story

I found the 2nd book in "The Ballad of Shady Greg" series entertaining. This story captured my imagination from the opening until the end, and I listened to the whole audiobook in one sitting. Shady Greg and his companions were fun characters. There was action, adventure, and humor within the pages of this story. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. Christopher Harbour's narration was great and enhanced the entertainment of the tale. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Awesome

This book was really good. I actually really want to hear the sequel. I'm honestly satisfied with how this book ended. wolfe did pretty good with this.



christopher does pretty good. I feel he did better with this book. christopher really grew on me in this sequel. for this book he deserves a 5 star.



honestly, this was a really good listen. I recommend this sequel, it was basically better than book 1. Shady Greg is so awesome!!!

An amazing series w/ great characters and story!

Wolfe Locke and Mike Caliban continue an amazing series and it just gets better and better! Shady Greg once again gains it all, only, well, if you read the first one you know what will follow. The characters continue to develop, new interesting and devious characters are introduced, and old friends make their appearances. This story is absolutely amazing and I cannot wait for book 3 in the series! Audio Version: Christopher Harbour continues to do an amazing job with every character and the overall narration.

Business adventures

At my request I received a copy of this audiobook in order to give a fair and unbiased review.

Genre: Gamelit, system breaking, profit focused, fantasy business owner
Explicit/adult material: None.

Summary:
Greg has lost it all and is starting again. Heading out to the new islands created by the system.
But others have the same idea, and even with great innovations, rebuilding his business is going to be quite the fight.

Narrators
Voice diversity: Each character had distinct voices and it was easy to follow.
Pacing and intonation: Well done. The storytelling is immersive and alive.
Overall: 4.5 / 5 stars.

The book’s strengths.
- I love books where the MC keeps trying to break the system
- I love trading and wealth building in stories
- The premise of an expanding world with a dungeon focused gold rush is great
- I really enjoy that the storyteller is the main character. It is fun, collegial and breaks the fourth wall in a way that works.
- Great narration

The book’s weaknesses.
- The pacing. I feel like each of the failed attempts of getting rich could (and should) have been their own book.
- There are a lot of gotchas. Everything feels too easy. We did it! But not really. We did it! but not really!

Overall: 3.5/5 stars

Sensational Book!

I’ve loved everything that Locke has put out and I love this. Awesome slice of life story that you can chill to. The narration is spot on and a pleasure to listen to.

Fantastic adventure

This is one amazing adventure that is very fun to enjoy and it makes you feel as part of the adventures of shady Greg

Fantastic Clean Gamelit RPG Read

Shady Greg really cracked me up. This has some action and adventure but is not a dungeon crawl, it's more of a shady businessman RPG trying to make coin off of the actual adventurers. I didn't read the first book and it wasn't necessary because the author did a great job of filling in any gaps that were presented. I previewed this for my teens that are really huge into D&D and will be letting them listen as it's right up their alley.

Parents- PG - suitable for 12 and up - the MC is a "Shady" guy so there's underhanded deals and "backstabbing"
Language- don't remember any bad language, no f-bombs
Violence- normal to genre, nothing too graphic
Sexual Content- None

Narrator- did a great job with the differentiations and was fun to listen to. I listened at 1.25x speed.
