Dear Spellbook, Volume 2: Wizard - A Time Loop Progression Adventure (English Edition)

Het was weer een genoegen om terug te duiken in de wereld. Ik raad deze en deel 1 dan ook aan om te gaan lezen. Vooral voor de prijs is het meer dan waard.

I’m gonna go see if I can get the next one. Maybe go on royal road if it’s not ready. I Really liked the characters, world and genre. Thanks for the story!

I love this series thus far. The world, character, and magic systems building Lee does are simply off-the-charts well done. The characters are very believable, retaining plenty of verisimilitude in comparison to how many people I know would certainly react given the same circumstances. The length of the book is excellent for those of us who love longer works and/or actively turn away from many short ones (as I do). I can't wait to read volume three and I have little doubt that I will faithfully move through this author's entire body of works as long as they continue in the same or a compatible vein.

Additionally, I always listen and read along with Whispersync, and as always, Travis Baldree does an epic job aiding immersion as narrator. I can’t emphasize enough how the Audible version, when done very well, enhances one’s reading experience. Though I began doing both simultaneously due to my low vision, I recommend everyone try it to enjoy the unique experiences.  

Last but ABSOLUTELY NOT least, Lee gets a billion extra stars from me for not being crazily foul-mouthed like so many current authors. Instead, this brilliant author uses very creative and wonderful euphemisms, which also serve to further enhance the world building in the process! 10^9 + 5* of 5*.

Great follow up to the first one. Looking forward to the next book! It is a fun concept for a time loop series.

I loved the characters and how far the MC progresses in a way that feels authentic (hard work with flashes of inspiration).

I enjoyed getting more backstory on the world and the major characters but I am not sure that the timing was as good as it could have been. Sometimes it happens too long after the characters were last mentioned, so I was not sure if they were really important to know about.

My only serious criticism was the detailed spell stats. I understand the in world logic of putting them into the Spellbook as completely as possible, but as a reader, multiple pages of this as a block of data seemed unnecessary and damaged my interest in following the story. OK, I could skip ahead, but I question if that's a necessary burden to put on the readers. Surely, there are other ways to let the reader know what's happening (and why) even in a Progression Fantasy?

Having said that, I'm excited to read the next book in the series.

Such a well written book and series. It has a time loop, drama, likable characters, and progression. What’s not to enjoy? Kudos to the writer for the book. I am already looking forward to the next book in the series.
