About this listen
A young-woman-turned-living-weapon is consumed by revenge, unleashing her fury on an unjust society, as this action-packed sci-fi adventure continues.
Nearly a century ago, the people of Earth surrendered their freedom to the aliens responsible for the cloud of nanites, known as the Mist, that transformed the planet's ecosystem: Landscapes became toxic. Animals morphed into monsters. Humans found themselves imbued with supernatural abilities and wielding technological wonders that changed the world's balance of power. Now, while ruthless entrepreneurs take advantage of their fellow man in order to accrue incalculable amounts of wealth, the aliens prepare to descend like a plague and drain Earth of its natural resources once and for all.
Mira Braddock's uncle was once the most powerful man in Nova City, and before his death, he empowered his niece with a Tier 7 Nexus Implant. Cybernetically enhanced and trained as a warrior, Mira is not only peerless on the battlefield but also possesses the ability to control the Mist that's pervaded every machine—and person—she encounters. Setting her vengeful sights on Nora Lancaster, the woman who betrayed her uncle and took over his empire, Mira wages a war against the city's competing overlords, tearing apart their fragile alliances and turning them against one another.
But with every victory Mira claims, innocents get caught in the crossfire. Struggling to regain her sense of compassion and empathy for others, Mira won't find peace until she's fulfilled her rage-fueled quest against Nora, an enemy whose endgame promises mass destruction on an unimaginable scale . . .
The second volume of the hit sci-fi LitRPG series—with more than 500,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Ninety years ago, Earth was consumed—and irrevocably transformed—by a cloud of alien nanites known as the Mist, bestowing humanity with uncanny abilities and enhancing technology far beyond early twenty-first century science. But these advancements came at a high price: Billions are dead. The planet has been overrun by vicious monsters. And alien overlords await the opportunity to swoop in and exploit what remains of Earth and its people for all their worth.

Story
In the year 2107, the world has both made astounding leaps forward and reduced humanity to its most basic existence. While the megacorps and those who rule them enjoy lives of extraordinary comfort and ease, most people barely scrape by, doing whatever they can to keep going. Juliet Bianchi is one of the latter. She works cutting metal in a scrapyard and doesn't have much to show for it except for a small group of equally bereft, fiercely loyal friends. Still, she maintains a bright disposition, possessing more hope and optimism than anyone would expect her to—and she's going to need it.

The strangest thing about Annie's new reality isn't that she's now in the body of a seven-year-old child, the beloved Lillith, feared dead by her family after a particularly nasty bout of pneumonia. It's that she's constantly having to conceal her adult intellect, which is not only advanced but otherworldly. Sure, being a young woman and a grad student in twenty-first-century America had its challenges, but this life as Lillith presents even tougher obstacles. She must tread carefully to conceal her vast knowledge of biology, math, physics, and . . . being an adult.

As a newly minted healer, Zoe doesn't need a unique ability to take on murderous cultists, an equally murderous paladin, and the weather. She'd certainly like one, though. It's a fast-paced, violent world, filled with undead ghouls, sprawling dungeons, and far too many scheming nobles, all of whom want a piece of her. A healer is a valuable asset—and becoming a demon and blood magic user only ups the ante.

Murdered for daring to expose the deeds of the corrupt, Brunhilde Krahe is then snatched from the void of death by the capricious hand of cosmic coincidence. She finds herself reborn into a bizarre world of magic and conspiracy, eldritch knowledge in her brain and cosmic fire burning inside. Krahe copes with her own death the only way she knows how: by continuing her work in the new world. Ruthless mafiosos, unscrupulous politicians, even lowly gangsters—there is more than enough work to be found for an investigator with no qualms towards hyper-violence.

Things i Liked.
The writing is quite good, focused and comprehensive. Which admittedly should be a given, but thanks to auto publishing has become something of a nice bonus to books rather than the expected standard. the action is well choregraphed and easy to follow while still being gritty and brutal. The world building is absolutely fascinating and leaves you wanting to know more and more. The system is great and always has you excited to see what is coming next. Finally i like that the "villains" of the story are as much real people as anyone else in the book.
Things i really didn't like.
There are really only two things that i found i hated about the book. 1. I hate the relationship between Mira and patric. At best it is a relationship of severe co dependency . Both using the other for their own emotional needs with no real care for the other outside of that. Or at worst and frankly the one that seems most likely Patric is little more than Mira's emotional support pet, a pet mind you that she is very neglective of until she needs reassurance that she is not the bad guy. A job that patric performs with all the simple minded sincerity his little dumb puppy heart can muster. There is very little actual chemistry between the two of them and a lot of Twilight level angst going on. Patric being Belle in this scenario and Mira being an even bigger emo evil bloodthirsty monster than Edward could ever manage, also if Twilight was stuck in middle school. seriously the difference between who Mira is when not around patric is super jarring. One minute she is sleeping with a guy to sabotage his career the next she is blushing like a sheltered school girl over holding patrics hand. Yes the author tries to explain the disconnect away, but it is just to big a leap. it feels like she is fostering a relationship with a literal child and it is pretty gross at times.
2. I. HATE. Loathe. Despise. Mira. She is the worst kind of evil, self righteous, self entitled, self centered, a bigot incapable of even the slightest bit of empathy for anyone other than herself. Yes she spends a lot of time agonizing over her actions with endless introspection, however actions speak louder than words, and her actions renders all her words insincere and false. She is a plague of death that cares not at all for those she destroys in her path. Hell being outside her path isn't exactly safe sense she often goes out of her way to render everyone's life worse. One could make the argument that she is a brainwashed child soldier, but her introspections make it very clear that she is fully aware of what her actions are. Yet when put to the test she will choose the worst possible outcome that hurts the greatest amount of people, because in the end she has zero empathy for those that are unfortunate enough to find themselves stuck living on HER world. She is a sociopath who can mimic humanity for fleeting moments, but ultimately fails the final test every time.
Overall? I have no idea, i honestly wanted to return this book and the first one as soon as i finished it, but so far I haven't pulled that trigger, even though i cannot see anyway in which Mira could possibly redeem herself after what she does in this book, i still want to.... hate read the next one. I ' am really glad it doesn't come out til August, i need time to recover after what this book did to me.
I...think.... that i might hate it?

I was very happy with the story, setting, and characters, but there is a healthy amount of repetition in phrasing that makes some of the content feel very copy/paste, and not just the 2 minute long character sheet.
Nevertheless, I'm going straight in to book 3, and am excited to do so!
Super fun and morally questionable!

I have listened to books 1-3 didn't finish 3, I still have over 2 hours left on Book 3. The concept is great, the world building is unique. It goes wrong when it comes to the characters. The story arc is a little one note in all of the books. The main character is 2 dimensional and there is absolutely no growth or change. Maybe it gets better in book 4 but i just can't.
I Wanted to Like This.

not to my taste

The real issue is the writing though. Fully half the book is just the main character doing hyper repetitive introspection. Like, "I worried if I was becoming that which I hated. Perhaps all my actions were making me into the very thing I fought. If that was the case, I was becoming the very thing that I was trying to remove from this world. Was I the bad guy here?" There are moments in which the exact same phrase or word is used 5 or more times in less than two pages. It's so bad it makes me think it was actually multiple drafts of the same sentence that they forgot to remove or edit out.
You can go 20 minutes without the character actually doing or saying anything in the world. Just hyper obsessing over their every action. And the worst part is the edgelord nonsense. Like EVERYONE is leering at this girl ALL the time, and she has to 'fight back the urge' to kill them - literally kill them - every single time. Queue violence fantasy self analysis scene AGAIN. Supposedly she's an unassuming 19 yo girl, but in one scene where a guy just doesn't seem to believe she can handle herself in a to the death combat arena (very fair, considering she isn't in armor, no scars, no visible weapons) she feels so.... disrespected?... that the reader has to listen to her internal monologue piss and moan about how she's tempted to kill this guy with her bare hands just to show him how wrong he is, despite how that would ruin her plans and everything she has worked for for 6 months or more. Really juvenile power fantasy nonsense. The author also forgets details, like the character is lamenting not having brought their armor one page and thanking god for their armor in the next second. Or used all the ammo for a gun, then the next fight she's using that gun even though she's not resupplied.
That said there's some strings of action without any of that crap that are very entertaining. Honestly this book should have been edited down by about half. A tight 13 hours would have been way better.
It's... fine
