Pilgrim 2

Pilgrim, Book 2

By: Harmon Cooper

Narrated by: Mikael Naramore

Length: 16 hrs and 37 mins

Publisher's Summary

A former assassin. An unspeakable past. The powerful people who want him dead.

Retiring peacefully in Genshin Valley was never an option for Danzen Ravja, regardless of his intentions. To prevent any more attacks on the defenseless valley he now calls home, Danzen and his yokai companions head west to address the Diyu Brotherhood head-on, to face down two honorable assassins and even more with no honor at all.

Danzen plans to bend his echo upon his return, to cultivate his inner strength through the power of a fallen heaven. He holds a desperate faith that it will give him control over his demons and bring him closer to wholeness. But the extremes he must take to accomplish these tasks may end up killing him, and that’s before his demon half-brother comes for him.

Danzen is no stranger to life or death struggles, no shrinking violet to wilt under the pressure of risking his hide to do what must be done. But with other people's lives on the line - people he cares about and who care about him in return - Danzen must use his talents of dealing death to save their lives.

Pilgrim is a xianxia cultivation series inspired by the Witcher books, John Wick films, the Inuyasha anime, the Preacher comics, and the movie Yojimbo.

Not what I expected after the first book

I was looking forward to book 2 of Pilgrim, but I am seriously disappointed.
Rarely I ever stop a book (this is the 3rd in my Audible library of 400+ titles), but I had to give up after *** SPOILER *** he essentially loses his 3rd fight on a row. This is just sloppy story telling: the all powerful badass going prepared to fight known enemies has to be bailed out one way or another. He has no rights to be the hero here. Narrowly winning once is fine. Getting beat again - by someone supposedly less powerful - with zero chances of winning without help AND not learning anything from it is not a story I am interested in reading further.
Shame because there is so much potential in this series.

an enjoyable listen

I really enjoyed the second book in the pilgrim series, this one being better than the first. now that all the main characters are established we get to see them begin to carry through on their motivations and begin to pursue their larger arcs. Lots of fun to be had.

Enjoyable charachters

I enjoyed listening to the audio version of Pilgrim 2. Mikael Naramore does an excellent job doing the voices of various characters and I laughed out loud a number of times. The story was engaging with a twist that I didn't see coming at the end.

Excellent sequel

A great addition to the pilgrim series, the story covered a lot of plot areas I had looked forward to hearing more about after the first book. I'm really looking forward to the 3rd book!

Awesome story!

Love the characters and the narration, the inclusion of Yōkai and other super natural eastern type monsters that speak and fit well into the story line, you don’t see in to many of the cultivation novels that are coming out recently. Highly recommend and enjoy the ride, it’s dark at times but lots of humor as well! Looking forward to book 3

Fun!

Great book, I love this series! perfectly preformed and engaging in every way! I'm already downloading the entire series!

A fantastic second installment!

I loved the great progression in this novel, so much more of the amazing world Cooper has built is revealed! The narration was fantastic!

Loved it

I have enjoyed both books so far. I have enjoyed all of Harmon books so far I have 4 series going and loved them all

cool as ever

cool as ever. great myth use, great characters. will continue to wait for next part.

Fun Listen.

I enjoy the characters and the story is pretty good. The only negative part of the book are the fight scenes, pretty bland. I hope the fights improve in later books.

great

a great addition to the story, with more of what we loved from the first book

Non stop listening

Another successful story as we are drawn into even more of the unusual worlds that Danzen now lives in. With the unsual life that lives in the nearby area always allowing for the weird and wonderful and an ever present threat for his former Diyu Brotherhood then this audio takes us great places.
Action and a clouded future help as we explore the everyday happenings keeping a steady progression and interest.
I've been a fan of Naramore for a while and this narrative suits him well and will continue to follow further work in this series.
