Very good

I'm probably biased, as I have read this book several times before I listened to the audio book. I've thought this story was amazing for awhile, but this narrator really brings this book to life. If you liked the first book, you'll definitely like this one.

The story keeps getting better

The first book spent a lot of time setting up the immersive world and backstory of MC and LI’s. The second book pays off in spades. It keeps getting better and the worlds the MC and all his LI’s are in becomes more robust and expanding. The MC is reunited with someone from his past and we are given clues of something bad coming their way that the MC will ultimately have to deal withI really can not wait to start the third book.

Much better

I was not a huge fan of book one. But this book dialed down alot of the walking mat simp shenanigans. I can say I enjoyed this book much more and didn't feel the constant cringe of book one. Heck i even bought book 3 of the series just so I could see what happens and finished it literally after listening to book 2. I'd give this book a solid 7. I did cry a little when the diary was read.
