Master of the Mountain

A Reincarnation LitRPG Adventure (Dragon Core Chronicles, Book 2)

By: Lars Machmüller

Narrated by: Steve Campbell

One deadly competition. A mountain of dragon dungeons. Participation is mandatory.

Through clever usage of construction techniques as well as ham-fisted applications of force, Carl survived being reborn as a shadow dragon inside the Scoured Mountain. The future is looking bright for him and his band of trash-tier minions, and they’ll have ample time to decide exactly which kind of society they want to build in this violence-filled world.

There’s just one tiny problem. Only one dragon gets to be in charge, and every single other dragon from his clutch survived as well. Now that they’ve gotten to this point, they need to play a little game. The prize is survival and a questionable promotion. Carl's already ahead of the competition because of the questions he gets to ask the mysterious, glowing human trapped inside his domain.

He's going to take every advantage he can get.

Good addition

I def enjoyed this book but I have to admit the tempo of the book was rather docile except maybe the end “boss fight”. Not that the tempo was bad or anything, it just wasn’t this epic adventure I was expecting.

That being said, I enjoyed the story and character progression. And I look forward to the next book in the series

The performance from the narrator wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. I’m not too familiar with this narrator and although he does have a number of different voices that work well, he just doesn’t have the gusto I’m used to. Let’s put it this way, he’s good but he’s no Travis Baldree!!!

good

I like this series it's not too bad I do think that is a odd way to play a the dragon but hey it's his story.

Good Pacing

Unlike many other stories in this genre the plot moves forward and doesn't get bogged down in over zealous details. The journey might actually end up somewhere instead of burning out after 5 books or so. It's entertaining as well which is a pleasure.

Wonderful Book, Wonderful Listen

This is a wonderful book, with a fantastic narrator. The bloopers at the end are quite amusing, but the book shows no signs of flaws. With the story continuing on of a human reborn as a dragon, this story delves my deep into the challenges and trials of Carl/Onyx as this book lays down the foundation for the next book while neatly wrapping up the plot hooks of the prior.

Gotta Love Those Dragons

Another grand adventure in the mountain answers many questions but still leaves you wanting more! I'm excited for the third book!
