Falling with Folded Wings #2
Falling with Folded Wings 2: A LitRPG Progression Fantasy
Humans brought down from their arkship to the planet of Fanwath must forge their own destiny in a perilous realm as the fantasy saga continues.
Not long ago, Morgan Hall was a simple maintenance tech on a spacecraft bound for Tau Ceti. Then he and his shipmates found themselves unwillingly transplanted to Fanwath, where magic is real, danger abounds, and the almighty “System” grants levels, points, and powers based on one’s individual triumphs.
Now, Morgan and his native Ardeni mate, Issa, have founded a growing colony for both their peoples, and they’re able to draw ever more tribes and lifeforms—even some of their former Urghat enemies—into trade and warfare alliances. But though their colony is a beacon of freedom, Morgan finds himself wanting more: more skills, more strength, more knowledge of Fanwath. So, he and Issa set out for unknown lands in search of adventure and advancement.
Meanwhile, the Fae have taken an interest in the human settlement and work to recruit Bronwyn Tallow to their cause, and Olivia Bennet enters Fainhallow Academy in order to hone her magical talents. But as Morgan, Bronwyn, and Olivia’s abilities grow, so do the threats they face, and they’ll soon discover some ambitions come at a dreadful cost—and even good intentions can lead to unexpected evil . . .

Wow. This one just completely fell down.
The three separate points of view do not mix well at all. The Bronwyn arc is boring. The Morgan arc feels tacked on. The Olivia arc seems to be the only real bit of story, and the MC is bland. This was tedious to read.

I'm really not sure what I was reading here. The three MCs [Shadrach, Meshack, Abednego?] are too much, and the Olivia school arc was like some YA slice-of-life thing until the very end of it, causing me to skim most of it with no loss to the story.
I think I can see what the author was trying for here, but it didn't come together. Very much of it felt like filler, and moving from two MCs in book one (which barely worked) to three kneecapped it. There is a lot of world to work with here, but it needs better focus. He also needs to decide how old Olivia is; nominally 28, but might as well have been 16 through that whole school thing.
Someone said that the Bronwen arc was "boring" and I must agree. I'd like to say I know how to sort this all out, but short of tightening up on the development bits the only real fix is to drop or reduce prominence of one of the MCs. At this point I'd say Bronwen is the least interesting now that Olivia has come into her own.

too many POV‘s.
Good book but too many POV‘s. The world building is good. The story is good, but three heroes, and the shifting between the points of view was quite a bit distracting. You’re following along with one character and then boom there is a change of view. Quite a bit disorienting for me. These three characters need to be together, and then switch off while they’re all in the same place. And what’s the deal with Olivia? During most of this book is she 14 years old or a fully grown genius woman? I enjoy the story and don’t like the fact that it ended on a cliffhanger. But I will read the next book anyway that’s just a testament on how good the story is because I usually stop reading books when there are cliffhangers involved.

Nothing of what worked in the first book and a lot more of the bad parts. The POVs barely served a purpose before, but atleast it gave some contrast to the MCs journey. In this book there's not a single reason to jump back and forth except indescision. And wasn't the MC chosen to be awakened to solve the issue on the ship because he scored really high on improvisation or something? What happened to that? He doesn't have any goals or ideas, only follows and reacts and comes off as foolish teenager in the middle of his first crush, forgetting all his friends, hobbies and schoolwork. My problems with this book just kept piling up, but that covers the biggest issues.

Even the author doesn't seem interested in Bronwyn. It's sad cause I liked her backstory, original fighting style, and original goal of being the colony's protector. I thought she had potential. Oh well.
The other two POVs are fun though.
Also, I read Victor of Tucson first, and it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize these are the same universe and even planet 🤦♂️. I saw a lot of similarities, obviously. But I don't think it clicked until they first said the planets called Fanwath in this series. Anyways, now I want to reread when Victor and Olivia meetup, and hope that we get a Victor X Morgan team up soon.

It could've been great DNF
I don't want to follow 4-5 perspectives at the same time. If the story stuck with Morgan and Issa, that'd be fine, but all of this perspective jumping crap has got to go. If you want to write so many characters, then make sub-novellas, but all of this crap shoved into one novel sucks. I gave an extra star for it not being written in the first person, but I won't be continuing the series.

Love these books
This is one of my favorite series and this book was one of the best so far.
World building is great, you grow to care about the characters, and the editing is great. I can recall only noticing a single word (this instead of his) shift in the entire book.
Highly recommended!

Loving the progress each of our three MC’s are seeing
I definitely enjoyed this book better than I did the first. Morgan, Bronwyn, and Olivia are learning and leveling to be in a place to protect their people. Will they be able to become strong enough to beat back the monsters and predators masquerading as friends to the humans?

awesome
That what this story is. After reading both books back to back I have to say this is an incredible world that mixes the fantasy with a little sci fi. Pick this up and you won’t be disappointed.

No good deed go unpunished. Sparing those Yovashi eggs and that girl will come to bite Morgan or some people.
Having 3 MCs POV was God damn annoying. Only Morgan and Olivia stories were entertaining/engaging.

Most enjoyable
More adventures with morgan and co this time intrigue from mage school, fae shenanigans and epic battles.
What more to want in a litrpg book im just going to have to wait for book three as the story just keeps getting better and better.

Similar to the first, I really enjoy Olivia and Bronwyn’s story lines even if they are generic and played out. Anything that is done here well is done better in VoT or Primal Hunter but this is still enjoyable and worth the time to read

I loved this book. Great characters, plot is convoluted lots of action. I really do look forward to the next book in series.
