About this listen

Sometimes, life’s greatest lessons are found in failure…

With the circumvention of Aurora’s grim fate—and a heavy heart at what’d been required to avoid it—Rowan and his budding Party take their first steps toward realizing their goals; Aurora, a brilliant young woman, is determined to uncover the truths behind her father’s disappearance. Nathaniel, the stalwart companion, is shackled by his name and longs to be free. Rowan, a wily old geezer, is compelled by his circumstances to turn their unlikely coalition into a force that can survive the fated calamity.

Rowan once more dons the mantle of mentor as his growing Party looks to him for guidance. Lessons learned through tribulation are everlasting. Within the shadow of danger lurks opportunity. And oftentimes, the biggest threat is the one you don’t see coming...

Don't miss Book 2 in the A SUMMONER AWAKENS Series, a Deck Building LitRPG utilizing a Card-based Magic System with loads of customization and steady power progression. Perfect for fans of All the Skills and Towers of Heaven, as well as games such as Slay the Spire, Hearthstone, and Gwent.

My bias may be showing.

I think this was a great sequel. I don't imagine many who liked the first won't like this one. The ending leaves you waiting for the ending but I think it was to make us want more.

Great addition to the story

I have two complaints. One, this one was way shorter than I wanted it to be. And two, now I have to wait forever until the next one comes out.

Spoiler below:


I will say that the relationship with Cas seemed to come out of no where. I don’t mind it I just hope that they build it up better. It kinda felt like “ oh and now they like each other”

A fun ride.

I enjoyed the books. The card system, and the characters were all well fleshed out. The only character I didn’t enjoy as much was the one who felt a bit like Hermione. The book ends abruptly and there is no book three yet.

a fantastic sequel

This series is one of my favorites I have listened to in the last year. The narration is fantastic. the only small complaint I have is that the book is a bit short. Still I highly recommend it.

Great story really awkward stopping point

I think the goal was to stop on a cliff hanger which never feels satisfying but it really just stops as the story builds depth. One or two more chapters would really have helped set up what we expect next instead of dropping a bomb (that is strongly foreshadowed) and then literally as it explodes the screen goes dark knowing the next part is still the bomb exploding. Truthfully recommended waiting till the next book to start. Also this is only a 7:30 hour book 2 hours of card descriptions you will want to look up and read and skip.

Decent

Besides the fact that it took forever to come out and its way to short and it leaves off on a BS cliffhanger ending it was a decent listen I look forward to the next book.

Too short

I suppose it is a good thing when you finish a book and want more. 😁

But also, I usually avoid getting books that are less than 10 hours. I was especially disappointed because the first book was nearly twice as long. That made the 4 mini chapters in the middle of the book, which were mostly just full stat page reads of the 4 major characters, extra annoying. I’m talking about at least 45 minutes of nothing but characters card descriptions in the middle of an already too short book!

I suppose that they picked an”good” stopping point for a web serial. After an accomplishment and adding a cliffhanger.

I’m mildly annoyed, but I’m sure I’ll be getting the next one whenever it becomes available. Enjoy!

Not bad but it lost momentum 2/3 way in

It feels like the story took are hard left turn without any explanation or reason towards the end. The ending sucks and feels like the author got sick of writing and just stopped mid chapter or something similar. Hoping for a more complete book 3 but I'm getting the sense the author doesn't have anything else to say.

I really enjoy this world that the author has created

I want to start off by saying that I am a fan of this work so maybe I am a bit biased, that being said I am very picky with the stories I dedicate it time to and cannot stand poor writing or plot.

Positives: continues strongly from the first book and we get right into the action of advancing the floors. There is some sped up time to allow our characters to progress at a pace where the story will be best served, but it is fluid and doesn't feel too rushed. The overall story was well laid out and we get some questions answered somewhat.

Now to the negatives: without spoiling anything I feel like the author needs to make sure that at least in the next book to focus on their character development to make them act in a more natural way as time goes on. Naturally as people spend more time together their relationships tend to evolve as well. From start to finish you don't see much of that in this book, where we start is basically where we end with the relationships except for one that I feel is being forced to developer on a certain direction but that I personally do not feel is in character for that person.

Other than those small qualms and the fact that nothing really happens in this book until the end it was a good book. Hopefully the author isn't going to release anymore short books as a money grab and actually puts a whole story together like in the first book again. Still a good book.
