Loremaster: Winged Wolf - A Progression Fantasy Adventure (Ascension of a Street Rat Book 2) (English Edition)

The second book of the series improves on the second one. I'm glad that the focus was more on the dungeoneering side, and I appreciated the focus on interpersonal relationships of the characters. It was interesting to see how the combat evolved and how the party talents individually improved, and how their backstories were added.

I liked that this book departed a bit from Faebrook and focused more on the exploration of the world. There were many small worldbuilding details that I appreciated, and especially the ending was a great hook for the next book in the series.

If you’ve ever had a thick portion of one of your favorite cooks of meat, but it’s just a little too thick that perfectly describes this book. It’s a continuation of the previous story but it’s an expansion so it’s much thicker much more dense. You’re not just learning about the MC and his female companion you get to see a new party come together and you learn about those individuals. There is growth there is drama. There are surprises in store for you and it is worth the read, but it does get a bit thick in the middle. I’ll be honest and say I had put the book down for a few weeks and then come back to it. Now that I finished the book I know it was a great story. I give it five stars no problem. There was just one patch where it was a little thick just one patch you’ll know it when you get to it or who knows you might not because now that I look back it wasn’t that bad. It just wasn’t as good as the rest of the book. That is saying something because the rest of the book was great. The beginning awesome the first portion of the middle awesome the back half of the middle actually more like the 2nd 3rd of the middle that’s where I think there are pacing issues quickly rebounds and when you get to the end, you’re going to want more. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

First, I have to say I loved the book. So many things in this story that I did not see coming. I was hoping for a little bit more revelation in regards to the dream sequence. It almost felt I don’t wanna say useless here, but it didn’t do anything. I am concerned he keeps getting called halfbreed but I’m wondering is it some other breed besides the two we’re thinking of? Maybe maybe not doesn’t matter this book was great. The beginning then of course the fight in the hall boy that was good. I especially appreciated seeing him out adventuring elsewhere. Both at the beginning and during the middle of the story to see that you don’t always have to be at the Academy. The ending was spectacular. I’m normally not a fan of cliffhanger, but I can’t wait to see what happens next. I do hate that he showed. He indeed had the key to me that was an ace in the hole but it was amazing to see that the Noble girl I forget her name wasn’t in charge. I do hope we get more concepts of these so-called gods of the world because just seeing them go to gold really doesn’t seem like it does much. I mean look they went to silver this book, but I don’t see what truly separated bronze from silver skill wise.

One final note, please don’t take offense Loremaster I really think that sucks as a party role. I understand having a healer I understand having a vanguard a mage for attack purposes that all makes sense, but this individual their only purpose to me is to memorize what monsters we might encounter. Couldn’t anyone on the team do that. I don’t see what makes this role so special that it has to be assigned to an individual. Why can’t everyone remember the monsters they’re going to be facing? Overall, though great book love the series can’t wait to see what’s next.

This book very smartly and sedately ratchets up the tension from the middle to the conclusion. The unease that the characters experience is palpable through the pages. A good litrpg thriller to read, this one.

All likeable characters with many human weaknesses.this is not the end of the tale I think there is at least another 2 books to be written and I can’t wait!

I would recommend these two books to anyone who likes sword and sorcery stories.

Well, that was a an epic read! I really enjoyed the pacing and characters. Their development over the book was on point. I'm certain this is going to be a series I'll read a few more times, I enjoyed it that much.

I likeable characters with lots of action. Well written and edited. I finished it in short order and will get the third book when it's available.
