Summary
The adventures of an American hacker in Medieval England continue as Martin Banks takes his next step on the journey toward mastering his reality-altering powers and fulfilling his destiny.
A month has passed since Martin helped to defeat the evil programmer Jimmy, and things couldn’t be going better. Except for his love life, that is. Feeling distant and lost, Gwen has journeyed to Atlantis, a tolerant and benevolent kingdom governed by the Sorceresses, and a place known to be a safe haven to all female time-travelers.
Thankfully, Martin and Philip are invited to a summit in Atlantis for all of the leaders of the time-traveler colonies, and now Martin thinks this will be a chance to try again with Gwen. Of course, this is Martin Banks we’re talking about, so murder, mystery, and high intrigue all get in the way of a guy who just wants one more shot to get the girl.
The follow-up to the hilarious Off to Be the Wizard, Scott Meyer’s Spell or High Water proves that no matter what powers you have over time and space, you can’t control rotten luck.

Is the author also a time traveler? XD
When I started to listen to this book, we got introduced to a new character called Roy and he's quite old and it gave me a thought of. "What if I (or any other time traveler) had gone to a set time where things were already in place and working and then later went further back in time to create/start the whole system. Well apparently this is mentioned later on with two Brits. one from the future and one from the past.

Back to being a professional wizard
The second book in the Magic 2.0 series sees our Wizards moving to Atlantis. Atlantis is a place run by women, who are called sorceresses. Males are relegated to servants who live the good life in return for sexual favours (or, that's how it came across to me).
This follows the similar style of writing and humour from the first book. Unlike the first book, there are two story threads. The first are the Wizards in England/Atlantis and then there is Jimmy's story (the same one from the first book). Both are enjoyable, but Jimmy's is a little predictable.
Atlantis has Brit the Elder and Brit the younger - basically the same person occupying the same time. This then leads on to a lot of Time Travel story lines, which is the main plot for this book.
The reason for the plot was a little weak to me, but the journey was fun so I can let that fall.
The audio again was brilliant.

...but that's a good thing. Excellent narration as usual and a decent plot (though Jimmy's arc felt like a bit of a misfire). It's not as strong as the first in the series but it is fun, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.

Possibly the weakest of the series, yet still good
What did you like most about Spell or High Water?
Seeing the characters introduced in the previous book come back with lots more memorable ones introduced along with a good mix or hilarious moments.
Would you recommend Spell or High Water to your friends? Why or why not?
I most certainly would, along with all the other books of this series, the narration is fantastic as always, the humor is spot on and it manages to have a pretty decent story.
Which character – as performed by Luke Daniels – was your favourite?
Probably Philip, you gotta love that old man wizard voice, hilarious.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Probably the finale, was pretty crazy and I enjoyed it a lot.
