A Farm in the Afterlife: A Slice-of-Life LitRPG Adventure

The Cozy Abyss, Book 2

By: Harmon Cooper

Narrated by: Matthew Wolf

A dead warrior must learn how to defend his afterlife against a hellish invasion in this sequel to LitRPG adventure A Pub in the Underworld.

Sylas Runewulf has been dead for about a month, but he's making the best of it. The former battle-hardened swordsman is now a brewer and pub owner in the town of Ember Hollow. He's also made a few friends here in the Underworld. Plus, he has a pet in Patches the cat, and he recently bought a farm, complete with a peppy pup named Cornbread. Not bad for someone who once lived and died by the blade.

The trouble is Sylas could very well die by the blade again—or else something much worse. Because his pub overlooks the worst place in the afterlife: the Chasm, home to demons and monsters that frequently rise up and wreak havoc, often killing a local or two.

With the looming threat of an invasion from the Chasm's fiery depths, Sylas must look to his growing community for the power to survive—and ensure his new friends and neighbors are allowed to continue to rest in peace . . .

EVERYTHING! Just GET IT!

Loved EVERYTHING from top notch narration, to entertaining storylines, characters and the pace. I also appreciated the non preachy, shove it down our throats fad feelings “of the day”. Just solid entertainment that speaks to our innate sense of humanity to remind us that it does not have to be so incredibly hard to be our best, beautiful selves and also get along from day to day while working together towards a simpatico situation for EVERYONE.

More of the same

I like that it is more of the same, although I am worried it's going to hit a wall. There are crazy balancing issues and many loop-holes that aren't being brought up. I'm glad for that as any explanation why the half dozen loop-holes I've seen can't be used would ruin some of the book for me. There are many unexplained things which if fully explained would probably ruin/mess-up the series, so I encourage the continued not giving a crap about that writing. The slice of life and slow(now moderate) progression is what I like about this book. That brings me to my biggest concern, the ending of the book. It heavily implies that the next book will be a frenzied rush into a massive battle which completely changes the genre. If it goes that route I'm pretty sure the series will turn to crap, fast. This is a fun read and would like to listen to more the this series 'The COZY abyss'.

More Patches

I absolutely love the world building and getting to know the world as Silas does! I love patches and cornbread, and I hope that there is a rat that goes along with the landlord or market in the next book. Everything is great about this book, except that I wish it was longer because I want more!

this book was like living an adventure.

this was fast moving fun book. loved the reader. I can't wait for the next book to come out.

One of the best audible series out there!

OK, first off, I will read basically anything by Harmon Cooper because he never disappoints, and the same for listening to anything Matthew Wolf narrates. A Pub in the Underworld became a fast favourite of mine and I could hardly wait for this one to come out but was nervous it wouldn't live up to the first. Boy was I wrong. This was as good or better than the first and I just can get enough. Seriously one of the most enjoyable, comforting, and entertaining series out there...bring on the 3rd...and 4th...and never have this series end!!
