not too bad at all :)

I have to admit this one took me a little longer to pick back up than some other second books have. And I really wasn't sure why. I think the characters in the beginning of this and the situation they find themselves in just didn't grab me as much as the MC's being stranded on Ludus in the first book.

However it did pick up, and I was glad that I stuck around.

The POV switches were handled a lot better in this book, considering there were only a couple of changes in the first, this had a lot more balance in it, and because I'd gotten to know the others, it was good to get inside their heads a little more.

I've seen some of the other reviews and comments about Thirsty as a character, and I have to admit, I loved him/her. I think this is exactly the kind of situation and personal event that would happen. It wasn't his fault he ended up on Ludus anymore than it was for Henry and Jason, and Jeff's characterisation of him/her both were fab. I really enjoyed the performance and the person underneath it. Thirsty plays a great and integral part in this book and I hope that we do see more of her :)

Overall, this book did seem to take on a life of it's own, there was the onset of their journey and then it was taken over by having to defend against a horrific attack. I thought it all came together really well. And Jason, was just fab. No spoilers, but the ending, brilliant.

It may have seemed a little on the short side, but only because we know that although this was a novel and story on it's own that there's a lot of set up and more adventures to have.

I kinda think this would be the series for me that I'd binge listen to, one after the other because that would make this much more fun. Waiting on the next one is hard...

Come on Blaise and Jeff. More!!!

Cracking story.

An absolute cracker, Jason and Henry have found themselves embroiled in a wide reaching international conflict. Brilliant pacing, further develop characters and the introduction of one Fiercely Fabulous addition.

Douche-bag gods and epic battles

This is a good book ... but it took me a few months to get round to buying this book. I actually had to listen to book 1 and I think I was still decompressing from the traumatic events in that book.

I like the unique leveling system in this book and some of the characters in this book were an amazing surprise and I liked them. I also like the universe run by women and how the author has taken time to think of what that would mean for society; my patriarchal raised self is always getting shocked.

I will definitely read book 3 as I am trying to figure out how the guys will achieve the goals set out for them by Dolos...

Fun book, entertaining throughout. Great performance, the extra work done by the narrator really pays off. Can't wait for the next one
