Summary

Audiobook of book two in the breakout hit series Portal to Nova Roma is now available! With more than 16 million pages read on Kindle Unlimited, thousands of Kindle copies sold, and 3,400+ ratings with a 4.7 star average, make sure to pick up the sequel today!

Alexander and his growing legion have managed to escape Nova Roma and, more importantly, learned that the rest of the world may not be as ravaged by monsters as they had all thought. Join them as they set sail for ancient Venice, the Queen of the Adriatic, to try to learn more about the wider world outside Nova Roma. Along the way, they'll encounter a growing plague of deadly pirates, deceitful old merchant families out to quash any new competitors in the region, mysterious new allies, and much more.

Just as Alexander is starting to feel hope that humanity may actually survive, something happens to tear him away from everyone and everything he has come to care about. Lost, shackled, and without the majority of his skills, Alexander will be forced to confront a new side of himself, a darker, more violent side that threatens to take control of his mind and the new powers he has managed to craft for himself. If he can't learn to resist the growing corruption of his mind, he may not just be a danger to himself and those he cares about, but may become a danger to the very world itself.

Audiobook narrated by the wonderful Christian J. Gilliland.

You get the impression that the author is sort of making it up as they go with these books. Having said that I have given this and it's predecessor 4 stars. It moves along quickly enough for it not to be dull but the reason I think they are making it up as they go is certain things happen and from the outside looking in you wonder if they are fixing something. For example He recruits a spirit bodyguard in book 1 and then gets rid of it shortly after. This is because either 1, he couldn't think of anything for it to do apart form hang around in the background or 2, he thought of another spirit entity that would be better. There are quite a few things like this that occur which makes me think he's had second thoughts about something but rather than re-write it's easier to get rid or ignore it and never mention it again and hope no one notices.

Having said all that I will listen to book 3 as I think it's better than book 1 and will hopefully get better. The author will never be a brilliant storyteller but not everyone can be. The narration is also slightly dodgy, with over the top Italian accents and quite a poor Scottish accent he gives the dwarfs. In fact I deserve recognition for guessing what the latter was supposed to be. Having said that the narrator is a yank so you can't judge him too harshly for his attempt at the Scots accent.

Having read literally hundreds of LitRPG titles, I can honestly say this series ranks among the best of the genre.

This second installment lived up to its expectations and was just thouroughly enjoyable.

I can hardly wait for the next installment!

Utterly Superb LitRPG.

A lot of progress with even more world building as we move out of Italy to.....
The MC also has change in this book as he learns more about being human and less of an A.I.
Definitely recommend
