Rise of the Living Forge 2

By: Actus

Narrated by: Peter Berkrot

Everything Arwin fought for was a lie. The war was fake and the fault for its creation laid in the arms of the Adventurer’s Guild. But as powerful as Arwin has been becoming, he’s nowhere near strong enough to take the Guild on yet. And that’s just fine with him. He’s more than happy to live the life he’s always wanted, building up strength and making connections with allies new and old.

For the first time in history, the Hero of Lian and the Demon Queen stand together. They may stand on uneasy ground, but their eternal fight is over. A host of other misfits join them. All of them are plagued by demons of their own pasts, but they’ve found a path to the future at each other’s sides.

Things are peaceful.

And then the Iron Hounds struck in cowardice, destroying Arwin’s smithy in an explosion that stole the life of an innocent child. They’d meant to silence an uppity crafter that had refused to obey their orders. Their message had been received — but not by the one they thought they were dealing with.

The Iron Hounds managed to do what had never been done before. For the first time in history, the Hero of Lian and the Demon Queen will march to war on the same side. Their fury will be quenched by nothing less than the complete destruction of the guild that dared intrude upon their peace — and they will not stop until everyone responsible for Zeke’s death has followed him to the afterlife.

Great book

Loved the book, the crafting is well done and the book has a perfect balance of al its activities. And i prefer this way of relationship building. Voice acting remains topnotch aswell.
cant wait for the next part.

the development of the two main characters

I'm really starting to love this series it's definitely in my top five I'm looking forward to book 3 hopefully because I'm hoping the main character gets a chance to poke that guard ribs and the development of all the characters and story

Slow

Things take forever to happen and fights drag on too long for no other reason than word count

If you love litrpg ...

What a great premise! Who said litrpg can't be original, they are all wrong. if you love litrpg you'll love this book!

Much improved from the first book.

Kind of juvenile how some of the characters act, but overall the story is much better paced than the first book. Wonderfully answers some questions in the first while simultaneously leaving good teasers leaving you with a good ending but wanting to see the next book.
