Duskbound 2: A LitRPG Adventure

By: D.E. Sherman

Narrated by: Gary Bennett

The frontier’s shadows hid monsters. The guild hides something worse.

Velik left the frontier behind after finally destroying the source of the endless monsters that plagued it. But life in the Monster Hunters Guild isn’t the fresh start he imagined. People and politics bring a different set of challenges—and Velik has never been good at playing by the rules.

Even worse, the guild has a secret, one it’s willing to kill to protect. As Velik comes closer to uncovering the truth, what looks like coincidence might be calculated moves to erase him. And as the danger grows, old enemies stir in the shadows, hungry for revenge.

But Velik isn’t alone this time. With new allies on his side and new skills in his status, he’s ready to prove that it doesn’t matter whether his enemies bleed black or red.

If they stand in his way, he’ll cut them down all the same.

looking forward to the next book

I'll admit you were starting to lose me halfway through this book but when you added the wolf thing I am now hooked and really want to see the next book I'm always tired of books where the monster gets a human form and then pretty much never changes back into a monster again so seeing the reverse is actually really cool

Amazing!

This title has amazing narration and the story is just as good! Cant wait for book 3!

Well written. MC and side characters are well done

Loved the plots and the magic systems, but my favorite was how well done character interactions are. Characters are realistic in that they are self serving, and interesting. Liked a lot how Jensens character evolved

A great continuation with a character I’ve come to love!

Starting right off the bat, we’re put back into the shoes of our main character, a young man who’s normally isolationist in nature, but has to learn how to associate with the rest of humanity as part of his character growth. I really like this theme, and it’s one we saw in the first book as our main character slowly learns teamwork with a gold rank hunter.
I’m surprised there aren’t more reviews for this title, seeing as it has thousands of reviews across Amazon and goodreads, overwhelmingly in the positive. If you liked book one, I highly recommend checking out book 2! You won’t be disappointed, odds are.
I would point out that the narrator isn’t really super amazing, but he does an adequate job, and the shining quality of the writing more than makes up for it.

Power mismatch

Narration is a little better on this title.

The story is continuing down a forced path. The MC is painted as a very OP character who is very capable and has lived on his own for a decade, but suddenly he is bending over backwards for a guild and a merchant who haven’t done a thing for him? One of them is actively trying to screw him over when he has a lead for his main goal and a plan to execute to get him there? It really doesn’t make a lot of sense given the MC’s background. Seems like the logical choice would be to say bugger off to the politics and noble connections and trek across the world to his objective with all the money he has. Seems like shoe-horned interactions to make a story rather than logical/natural progression.
