About this listen

The adventures of Morgan Mackenzie and her sidekick Lulu the Loofah continue!

The [Skyclad Sorceress] has made new friends and discovered she has some enemies. Now, along with the Worldwalker Dana and the survivors of the Expedition, she is working to get out of the Wildlands.

Meanwhile, the Deskren have beseiged Fort Expedition and The General rides with his troops to their relief. He is followed by The Hammer, leading the Children of the First Beast. Certainly an impressive and dangerous force, but will they get to Expedition in time to save the city? If they arrive in time, can they hold the walls until the Tribes arrive?

As the northern continent slips deeper into autumn and winter, the Empire in the south prepares for spring and the planting of crops. Their raiding campaign into the north has not gone well, and tensions are rising as food shortages loom. All is not as it seems in Nouveau Deskra.

The length of this book was a bit disappointing, especially after the long wait. and sadly it really focused a lot on characters I didn't like/care about. So their chapter's dragged on and on while morgons and the rest of the wildlands expedition seemed to fly by. Also there was no chapters on some characters from the first book which is a bit of a shame.

Bit of a letdown but was still enjoyable.

This is a good book but feels like a small filler instead of a full sequel. Look forward to the next instalment

Frustratingly short

This was a fun ride but just a bit more scattered than the original.

I believe the author is setting up for the story to expand to a more epic scope, and this means bringing in more characters as well as the focus moving between the many moving parts of the story.

However, what this means is that there’s a lot less time spent with Morgan, the MC.

It’s still more than worth the read however, just be ready for the “cast of thousands” nature of this one, and that you’ll go many chapters before Morgan’s personal story moves forward.

Good book but a bit scattered

This book is decidedly average. It was disappointing that there was little focus on the lit RPG side of the world that dominated book 1.
There are still too many people the narrative focuses on. The book isn’t all bad but could have been better

Not as good as first book

I personally really enjoy this series so far
I just a wonderfully written exploration of a foreign world with both light and dark side.
The only gripe I have is the long periods of time away from the main character but I understand the need for those exploration.
Really enjoying I’ll be here for the next

Love it
