Shadows of Karakan: An Isekai Progression Fantasy

Draka, Book 2

De: AvaritiaBona

Narrado por: Katherine Littrell

A human magically reborn into a dragon's body navigates friendships, alliances, and feuding gangs in the second book of this charming isekai series.

In the months since Draka woke up as a dragon in another world, much has changed. She's formed friendships, built alliances, navigated the magic and politics of her new home, and discovered how to wield some of her more useful draconic abilities. But even as her powers evolve, she finds herself contending with ever more perilous trials.

For one, the dragon's mind inside her own is growing stronger, becoming a near-constant force, with its own memories and desires. For another, Draka's friendship with Herald has landed her directly in the crosshairs of some dangerous factions. And after a betrayal by someone she thought she could trust, she's battling not only the dragon's desire to kill but also her own craving for vengeance.

Now, Draka must learn to control her baser urges and truly embrace her dual nature—before she ends up destroying the remaining links to her humanity and the only people she cares about in this new life....

The second volume of the hit LitRPG fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

A bit grim in the beginning

While I do know and understand this book has darker themes, I felt like it could have eased in and not bashed us over the head with it.

Beautiful story!

Excellent story, great narration, and beautiful world building. I love how Draka actually thinks like a dragon when instincts kick in. Very animalistic and proud!

Good continuation of the series

Feels pretty slow-paced, but that's not a bad thing and I enjoy the worldbuilding. I enjoy the MC's inner monologue and turmoil, and it feels very realistic to someone having her experiences. In a rarity for monstrous LitRPGs, she feels less human and *more* like a dragon now than when the series started. I will say, as much as I like the MC the supporting cast feels a bit flat.

unique

The book contains some very dark themes, but manages to be quite wholesome at the same time. Some sentences seem to repeat themselves and doesn't feel perfectly written but overall it's a very enjoyable book.

hmm

10 hours in and the same topics keep coming up, repeating the same thing over and over. the character development or lack there of is boring. the story is good tho so ma
