Publisher's summary

With chaos comes opportunity.

The world is at the brink of disaster, and the demigods want him dead.

Derk knows the tribulations he faces force him into perilous situations, but with Tyla and Tasnia sworn to his side, he might save things yet.

With new and unproven allies, plus a mysterious elf named Diane, now he must navigate intrigue and assassins to build his power enough to fend off those who pursue him.

Should be simple, right? Nobody wins without taking a few risks, after all.

good follow up

I was happy with the second installment of this series. good pacing and the world is developing nicely. both narrators were good and much improved from the first, not that it was bad in the first one. but it seemed much more seamless. bring on 3.

thrilling

an awesome follow up to the first tale. the mc finds himself in no shortage of shenanigans and troubles. the guile he shows while trying to get through everything is entertaining and will keep you distracted from start to finish

Solid second book

Loved it. I have listened to a few books with Marcus Jahn narrating and he is doing great bringing these characters to life. Sarah Goldstein is doing a fantastic job aswell.

Pretty good Isekai fantasy

A review requires at least 15 words. Well I listened to and liked the first book, so now I've listened to and liked the second book. The third book is not yet available on audible so I will begin reading it soon. I hope the fact that I am completing the full series is enough of a review to convince you to give it a try.

Adding more women and kicking more a**.

So Derk now has a water mage and a fire mage and looks like there's an Elf that needs their help and doesn't have her memories.
His benefactor is being helpful but not in the way Derk wants.
He's continually growing stronger and helping to free others from the control of the demigods.
Definitely an exciting story and series. I'm really enjoying the characters and action.

Great

This was a great continuation of this story! I’m really enjoying how this story is moving forward and how the characters are all having to grow stronger individually and as a group.

Fantastic narration duo!

Freaking awesome!

Now this is how you kick off a new series. Freaking awesome! This was the first book I had read but this author bit is this is any indication of quality I’m a fan for ever. Awesome work!

Awesome!!!

loved this book. just as good as the first one. looking forward to getting the next one.

Better than the first!

I first read this book when it was on Kindle Vella and have been impatiently waiting for the audio version ever since. I actually took a nap after work so I could be up when the book was released. Okay so I fell asleep right after work and woke up at 3am and realized my pre-order was live. Happy coincidence that's all.

The progression of this book is steady without dragging it out. There's enough plot advancement, excitement, fighting and sexy times to keep things moving along. One thing I appreciate is that the sexy times are never just page fillers but happen naturally throughout the story. This is just a great book and series in general. My only criticism is that I now have to wait for bk3...let's get a move on Mr. Underwood!

I have not been a fan of Marcus Jahn's narrating style and have stated that in a few posts. That is no longer the case. He as settled into a smooth style that's easy to listen to and has made this book sooo much better that the first. So, hats off to you Marcus for being a true professional. If he can change then I can man-up and acknowledge it, giving praise instead of a negative critique. Sarah and Marcus have both made this a great listen.

Interesting Series

Story continues to provide content with the dual narrators. Listeners that enjoyed book 1 will find this one enjoyable as well.
