Discovery

A LitRPG Story (Legends of Arenia, Book 2)

By: P.A. Parsons

Narrated by: Jeff Hays

Palmyre. A city of questions and a family short on answers. And foremost on everyone’s mind is the question that matters most: Where is Grandpa Jack?

After a long and arduous journey, the Sullivan family has made it to Palmyre. The initial joy over their reunion soon fades, however, when Grandpa Jack fails to arrive. With no way of seeking him out, they turn their attention to surviving in a town far different from anything they have experienced before. For some, it is a matter of learning who they are. For others, it is about learning what they are becoming. And for Grandpa Jack, well, he would have gotten to that damn town ages ago if there weren’t so many damn creatures, monsters, and gods in the way.

As for Turkaletta…does anyone think of the turkey? Nooo. It’s all, “Where’s Grandpa Jack?” Couldn’t just one person say, “What about our turkey?”

Sigh. Looks like she’ll have to do it her way.

Great story great humor and great listen

I'm loving this series can wait for next book hurry up with the next one but please keep the quality

Waiting for book 3

I can't wait for the next book. This series has me hooked! The best part for me is the humor.

Anti spite review 🤪

Great book 2 in the series. Just please, please, please don’t make us wait near as long for book 3 in the series. I waited so long for book 2 in this series, I almost dropped a star for all three rating classes out of spite.

Extra star given for not having harems nor inexplicably stupid characters.

If you liked the first book then you will like this one too. Honestly, for me this is a four star book which means it’s really good, but not perfect. If the slow pace of the overall plot from the first book didn’t bother you then you’ll be fine with the second one. That said, while I was engaged and entertained all the way through this book, I was a little disappointed that the plot did very little advancing by the end.

It’s tough when you have 6 main characters to follow. Balancing their individual perspectives with more overarching developments is really not easy. The author does a great job switching between MC’s without making the book feel choppy and keeping the story cohesive. But in doing so well at that we end up with a bit more of a slice-of-life experience than a faster paced storyline.

Again, the audiobook was great, I just feel like my 5-star rating is a bit disingenuous. However when a really good audiobook only has three ratings I feel compelled to give it an extra star just to keep it from falling into the doldrums of the sub-4.6 star purgatory that many good books struggle to ever make it out of.

This is why 5 point rating systems for nuanced things are idiotic. And why any of the tens of thousands of audible books with 4.3 star ratings could be the best audiobook you’ve ever heard, or so mind-numbingly terrible that it damages your psyche permanently.
…And there’s no way to know which is which beforehand! It’s frustrating.

Sorry, just couldn’t help myself from going on a little rant. I blame coffee.

Awesome sauce!

I liked everything in the book! I disliked nothing in the book! I also loved the first book. Hope you make more books and continue to have them made into audiobooks!
