Length: 19 hrs and 3 mins

Publisher's summary

Despite his victory against the Guild, Kers soon learns that there is now an even greater target upon his cloudy back.
Typical.

Then there’s the small matter of Marwan, the Dark Lord who wants to take over the world, and the Jade Citadel sortie that is on the verge of collapsing. Not to mention the fact that he now has to ‘get along’ with his neighboring core and deal with a mysterious orca-like monster that has started flying nearby…

Oh, and he also has a new floor to generate and fill with fresh challenges and mobs. Yes, creepy dolls that wear your friends’ faces will be included. Also, mastodons.

Will Kers learn to fly and save those who plumb his… erm, heights? Or will he crash and burn, a victim of those he cares for?

Two things are certain; Selena will get her pizza and Kers will only get weirder.

awesome

story was deducted a star because it ended on a cliffhanger...

great book that builds upo. everything in book 1.
if you liked that, get this asap

SBT actually improved their performance from the first book...
among other things vex is now a little easier to understand while remaining the same little firecracker

Better than the first.

I was lucky enough to receive a review copy of the books in this series. I was not previously familiar with this author or series myself. I downloaded these books about a week ago and have already finished both of them. I find myself absolutely loving this series and the way that things have been coming together.

I'm not entirely sure how they managed it, but SBT is exemplifying the beauty of their craft even more than usual here. The voices and sound effects used flow quite seamlessly with one another; creating a truly vibrant and enthralling listening experience.

The quality of the writing is also on evident display here. This world has obviously had a fair amount of time and planning put forth into its creation and building; which is only backed up by a rather well executed and intriguing web of plot lines.

I believe I'll find myself waiting on rather baited breath for the next installment in this quite delightful series.

Why Is There A Cliff?

It’s ok, definitely enjoyed other books in the genre more. Was a bit surprised while listening to the epilogue that there might be a third series thought this was the last in the series. But what I don’t enjoy about this book is due to the epilogue it ends on a cliff hanger….

Aerosteel and Cores

I highlighted the two things that stood out to me in the first and second books, the cores are such an interesting thing to build a world around. the fact that this just builds and creates more corners of the world to peak in has me so excited for what comes next. I can't recommend these books, weirdness and all

God I hate Selena but it’s a good continuation

The story definitely went a different direction from the first. But I loved it.

However, Selena is even more of a pain. Still snaps at everyone, blames everyone for her actions and acts in ways that puts the dungeon worse situations. Genuinely would not be surprised if he went full on dark lord because of her

What a wild ride so far

The story of Kers continues, this entry highlights the bonds between characters proving that we always want someone by our side. I especially liked how Kers is going where no dungeon in any story has gone before. The end of this book left me wanting more. New characters get introduced along with some surprises about how one in particular likes to run his world. The voice acting is as engaging as you could hope for and the voice effects can be awesome from the villain’s cast. I’m looking forward to the next in the series :)

So good

This was a lot of fun I really enjoy the new upgrades and the progression of the story is so good I can't wait for the next book overall this is a must read.

What I've always hoped a book would be

Masterful story writing and subplots that actually matter! absolutely love the novel cooperation of separate dungeons and cities! This book really helps the imagination to go wild 😁

Cloud McLoving

The book is very well written and the character growth is strong. SBT took it to another level! Worth listening to. Looking forward to #3!

Epic

If you enjoyed the first you'll definitely enjoy this one. Storyline progresses magnificently with lots of building both characters and dungeon. Extremely well voiced.
