Riftside 2

A LitRPG Fantasy Adventure

By: Cassius Lange, Henrik Saetre

Narrated by: Justin Thomas James, Jessica Threet, Jeff Hays

Ash Aldrich forged a legend with his soul hammer, Roq. Now, the real fight begins.

A newly-minted Hammerlord, Ash, finally has a home of his own and a party he’d fight and die for. The next chapter in his life is about to start, but along with that come many responsibilities, like…where do they put the monster trophies? And who gets what room? Sometimes it is good to have simple problems as every new dawn somehow piles on more and more dangers on his plate.

House Domitius is still coming for the smithy and for Ash’s parents. They will stop at nothing, when a familiar face returns with reinforcement, even bending the guild and bank to their whim, or using deadly force.

The Hive Mind unleashes newly evolved horrors at Sentinel Station, and every new wave is more dangerous than the last. Holding the monsters back only serves to prolong the inevitable: Dawnwatch’s fall, but there’s not much they can do with an even greater threat looming Riftside. Something is picking off adventuring teams one by one, and leaving no witnesses. Peace has become a luxury no one in Dawnwatch can afford.

But the greatest challenge may even come from within, as Roq demands his own breakthrough, and the party weighs on keeping him secret from even Nabeeh and their closest allies.

Fans of Riftside 1 will devour this explosive sequel. If you crave relentless progression, strategic party combat, epic loot, and a crafting system with real stakes, your next addiction is here.

The Riftside war is escalating. Don't get left behind!

platypus

facts about Platypus are fun. some should be included in book 3 or 4. because that would be fun. since we are here. books good and narration is peek. enjoy.

voice/character of the hammer. so great

disliked nothing!!! except the platypus!! lol.. the platypus is crazy. but the HAMMER!!!! That's fantastic.

Great addition to an epic story!!

Couldn't wait to get into this one after the first, and it was a wild ride from start to finish!! Only odd bit was when Ash was turned into a platypus, cant wait to see how he gets out of that situation!

Such a fun follow up

This book ramps up the LitRPG chaos to eleven. Our overpowered protagonist dives deeper into the post-apocalyptic rift-torn world, juggling monster slaying, team building, and increasingly ridiculous power scaling. The action remains crunchy and satisfying, the progression addictive, and the narration crisp and energetic—perfect for long drives. The plot never trips over its own tropes and the dialogue feel like a platypus in a sword fight (weirdly out of place yet epic in every way), fans of unapologetic power-fantasy wish-fulfillment will devour every minute. Bigger, bolder, and blissfully shameless. Solid 11/10. More please.

this is a great brake from reality story to listen to.

I have been having trouble listening to some books lately. But this story does give me time to relax and enjoy a well written story. I enjoy the voice actors and actress from the studio and the sound effects make the pictures grow more in your mind. if you enjoy fantasy and development of a frontier town. This is a great series to read or listen to. always watch out for the platypus talking in the empty space.
