Publisher's summary

Even heroes die.

For Riley and his friends, Sigil Online has never been more real. With the latest expansion, pain has been enabled and will now affect all players in-game.

Aptly named "Hellions", the expansion introduces monsters, but not the kind that paragons have been fighting for the past several years. This time, players can be the monsters they once sought to destroy. But in a game where playing means having the money to survive in the real world, what will Riley do when death in the game doesn't just mean an end to his character, but an end to his life?

I forgot how abysmal the writer is on business law

several things happen "in game" that are so absolutely stupid that any company running the game would be sued to oblivion and lost all players within a week. 3/4 of the book relies on the premise that all of that bs is fine and nothing would happen and they can even continue making abysmal decisions. Hard to enjoy the fantasy book that treats "real life" business more unrealistically than the game

Great Lit RPG series

I throughly enjoy this Lit RPG series! It definitely has its own unique take on the genre as Riley is forced to grow his character through hard work and his power is cool but not nearly over powering so it’s all about allies and strategy vs curb stomping all enemies. The characters are great and continue to grow, pain is now part of the game, suspense and mystery keep the pages flying (or minutes flying if you listen). Trust me this book is worth the credit if you like the genre!!

Glad the dying thing doesn't seem like it will be

glad the chances of the players really dying isn't as likely to be an issue in the subsequent books. I am not sure I could believe every player still deciding on playing willingly with those risks.

An important but short and rushed prequel to Book3

Any additional comments?

There were a lot of changes to the story, but it felt like many of them were not even halfway explored, just prequels to the next book.
It felt like the book was cut short for one reason or another, not a great way to continue one of my top 3 LitRPG stories.

felt rushed and unfinished

not as good as the first. felt that the story was rushed along and not as much fleshing out of characters was done. sad as I really liked the first book.

I wouldn't PLAY

while I liked the book I 3 star score is based on the fact that this game sucks it would have to be the absolute only game out there for me to ever want to play it. And, the fact that you might actually die is not a part of that decision. It's imbalanced and poorly thought out. It seems that as a hellion you have powers of the back and are able to level up faster and become powerful enough to evenly face five paragon of you same level. In real life no one would remain a Paragon because there weak and take too much to level and someone who started play a hellion a month ago can easily come by an kill you with out braking a sweat destroying your character of 5 years lol. Sorry but that's f-ing stupid. There would be no Paragons. Because Hellions are way too OP'd. I just don't see how that expansion is going to help that situation. Maybe the author doesn't even see the problem. Also that game would have been shut down after the first death. They would have been sued into Oblivion user agreement or not.

Level up

A pretty decent follow up to Paragons. I've liked every narration by Jeff Hays. Wondering if there will be a third.

Interesting, yet lacking an actual plot

I love the universe Mr Sproul has created and I have enjoyed his other works, especially hero of thera and the first book of this series. This book just seemed to wander. I enjoyed the hellions, however they didn’t expand or move the plot along. Jeff hays as usual did a great job narrating.
