About this listen
Surviving Lord Darius' attack has put Elorion's level over the top. He must soon leave the Mistress' Labyrinth for the unknown dangers of the Underworld.
There are three paths that stand before him. Should he absorb all the Blue Magic he can find, power level his fellow captives, or take on the bone palace alone?
The Underworld is waiting....

a continuation of the book 1 style
if you liked book 1 then this is the same style . it is what it is if you listen to book 2 you will likely enjoy book 3 also. cheap and cheerful pulp fiction for gaming nerds who enjoy stats / levelling up .

I really enjoyed the audio book.
I really enjoyed the audio book. A new spin on magic and the way the system works.. I highly recommended the book. I hope the author is a fast writer...

Not my bag of tea
Too repetitive and the MC is too OP. Too many STATs is read to me which is completely meaningless. All together; after two books I am finished with this book serie.

A whole lot of stats...
... without much happening in between.
Seriously, after listening through this second book the overarching plot has continued only so much that it could be summed up on two pages without any relevant development missing.
It also felt that instead of gaining depth, support characters became even more shallow.
Not sure I'll be continuing this series.

Have to return it
Very little story. Most of it is battle and ability descriptions. Found myself constantly wandering off with my thoughts. 1. Books was bit better.

Mah-na! Not dark enough for the story laid out.
Most of it is battle and ability descriptions. Found myself constantly wandering off with my thoughts.
As others pointed out the narrator's odd pronunciation of certain words is driving me crazy. Mah-na instead of man-a.
The mana and health stats are stupid (*very big number* mana out of *even bigger number* with no meaning) and you have to listen to it all the time. It is a bit ridiculous when the MC is in combat and you have to hear, how mutch mana regeneration his fart gives him.
No reason for having 20 teenagers in the story. Absolutely no reason at all. The MC doesn't even bond with anyone except a few fist bumps (super cringe), and Aeris which is on a whole other level of cringe. She asks him to do or don't do things just because of her view of the world. And the MC is simping so hard for no reason. Why should he listen to some nobody that he met last week and who did nothing for him?
The interaction between the humans is as fantasy like as the book. In what world would they all get along? In what world would not some of them bond more that they did? The MC is neither on this own nor with them. Nothing makes sense. Nobody even has a problem with them being kidnapped and brought in a whole different world.
This book is not as dark as it should have been. It shows no psychological description of the characters and how everything impacts them, nor psychological progress for that matter. Every interaction is blank and without real purpose. *big bad strong monster* - "some oh no, what will we do" ? One second later, like they forgot the danger they are facing - "we fight" ! Fistbump! Power of friendship! Even thought we are slaves in another world and we might be eaten at any second on the whims of powerful beings. Utter bullshit.
Also, is it actually possible for any teenager to not say/think "f*ck"? Especially when carve their own flesh.
This would have been a much much better book if it was just the MC without the other humans since they bring nothing to the table for the MC, and for the story. Just wasting time on meaningless descriptions. Like anyone cares about the other characters that don't even do anything except being described from time to time.
It feels like lazy writing. The characters ar kept around just so its convenient for the writer to solve a problem and that's it. No progression except stat progression.
I will not be buying anymore books from this author where the other humans are anything more than a 5 min sidenote in the last chapter. They are simply a waste of space that are actively detrimental to the MC growth and he should be killing them not helping them weaken him.
