a worthy successor

I adored the first book and as the title says, this one lives up to the promises of the original.
Bran and Kai grow as a dragon/earthcore duo as does our favourite Rona in both as a character and as a monk.
on top of that, the world grows as we learn more and the plot thickens :)

Really good

I’m probably not the only one that Goes into the second book In a series worried that it will not be as good as the first one. It was not a problem here, I love this one more thin the first one. The writing is great once you start you don’t want to stop and Steve came and did an amazing job narrating, He’s a Chamaeleon

good

good addition to the series. good world building, prose and descriptions. well fleshed out characters. the climax and resolution of the story was well executed. an interesting story

Rhona's Side Quest

IMO the author makes a poor choice of treating Rhona as if this is her story. Her chapters felt skippable and I skipped through alot of them which is like 50%+ of the book. I picked up this book for a dungeon core experience. If she's not teamed up with Kai and Ban, I really don't care what she's doing on her side quest because she's not a dungeon core. Could a better author pull it off, maybe. The story pulls together at the end, but so many wasted chapters. I would rate this 4.4 at best for being unfocused in a genre full of better written dungeon core themed stories. I'll still grab the next one based on the redeeming final sequence as well as Kai's and Ban's chapters being entertaining.

Better than the first!

I wasnt a big fan of how slowly the MC was maturing in the first installment but this book has attuned me to the authors pacing and Im thouroughly satisfied with how events turn out. Stats and skills are quickly explained and easily understood, as he does a great job of compressing this info without becoming repetitive. Lots of fun suprises to be had. Narration is still amazing. No complaints. Cant wait to devour book 3.

Still Working it

Plot continues to develop. I am impressed. Narrarator also does great. Only downside is that it feels like Kai is taking forever to move from child to man.

Rediculously good

This book is so good! If you love a book with adventure, magic, a budding romance (maybe), and a dungeon core who kicks butt and takes names, then this book is for you. I only gave 5 stars because it wouldn’t let me give more!
