A lot is happening but not much really matters.
Somehow the book felt like a continuation of an overlong intro as the main plot repeatedly stated from the start (rebellion and princess) still did not progress at all.
Lyn is despicted on one hand as an utter imbecile and on the other as a versatile, overly helpful and cunning mastermind. I agree that this is not necessarily mutual exclusive but it is still very strange.
I didn´t really care about the power struggles or the two dimensional characters and missed thrill and mystery to keep me interested..

Book two
I read this one on Royalroad as it was being written and must say that I for one want more.
As usual Mr Ring has written an excellent book that just pulls me in and doesn't let go.
I'm looking forward to a book three.
8/10 Since this is something I've read elsewhere I don't think it's fair to give this book 5 stars, even though to me it definitely deserves it.

Dreamer’s Throne book2
Another good book in the series to read. I like the action. I can’t wait to read book 3 to see how the story ends.

The second book in the series, brings up the intrigue as Garrett starts to move forward with founding his empire.
With the assistance of Ryn, Obe and Viper, Garrett is becoming much more formidable as he starts to consolidate the Family. The character development is interesting, as Garrett's use of the Dreamer's Throne and his Dreamer's abilities continue to increase. In this book, he is drawn in to complications involving the Exorcists, the upper elite of the city and the various gangs taking control of the lower sections of the city.
His Awakened status is also increasing his physical strength, which I can understand, however one of the unique quirks of the story is his disability. Negating that in the 'real world', no strike that - it's not being negated, it's being reduced, is almost cliche. Don't get me wrong, it was necessary in the context of the story, but felt disingenuous to the character who has always found a different solution, so far.
I still enjoyed the story and am anticipating Book 3. (Coming out in March 2024)

Even though I had a good time, I feel myself gradually becoming detached from the story.
To put it simply, one of this character's original points was his handicap, which was decidedly irreversible. This is a good idea, as it avoids the usual elements of rehabilitation by means unknown to this world, and so on. This, combined with the character's powers, gave him a behind-the-scenes role as a man of the shadows.
But what about this feeling of (relative) powerlessness? Where's the fear of hardship? The ambivalence between the weakness of the day and the omnipotence of the night?
This hero's arrival in the world of dreams has brought him into direct confrontation with one of the dream world's "lords". As well as taking power from him, he destroyed one of his agents. I'll be that lord, I'll NEVER let that go.
Likewise, discovering that someone is moving into its territory and expanding...?
Everything seemed easy to me, now, already. Even the part with "the leg" leaves me dubious.
The more it goes on, the less I believe in it.

A guy who hates fighting gets his minions to do the fighting for him, and is slowly building an empire of common folk.
Game elements include leveling and using experience to both advance and to empower, do you hoard your XP to push into higher levels or spend it on your development?
Haven’t even left the city yet, nor joined the adventure guild to fight giant monsters, but taking over a small part of the city is enough to fill two books, with his eyes on the horizon of the Great Rulers of the dream…wonder if he’s going to be one of those rulers by the end of the series.

I thought book one was okay, and was hoping the author would improve each book, but that does not seem to be the case here, unfortunately. This entry was shallow and meandered. Nothing really happens. The MC faces no threats. He either predicts everything or immediately has a solution. Two books in and only one half-assed attempt by one of the two Dream lords that really want to kill the MC. The antagonists only exist in the story when it is convenient for the plot. Might as well have stamped "come back in five business days" on the Cynen's forehead.
The lack of proper conflict, of any kind, is the reason I will not be continuing this series.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, despite finding it hard to relate to the detached protagonist.
Garrett's powers started weak in the last book but are growing exponentially. This seems a little unfair since all the other awakened have powers that are limited to arm's reach. At least his ambitions seem benign, reducing concerns regarding his over-powered future.
We learn a little more about Ren... a backstory that explains her light-fingered skillset. However, I still find most of the characters to be paper thin.
Regardless, I'm looking forward to book three.

Through the looking glass
Garrett keeps getting stronger while none would suspect the cripple in the wheelchair. He finally gains his second guardian and what a guardian she is. Shadows, rival gangs, and a coming catastrophe all align to keep the pages turning in this mid series builder. We do finally see Garrett’s strength and it is far scarier than just his watcher persona. Overall a good strong second book giving us the bigger picture even as our hero is growing to face it.

Still very fun and bingeable. Warning though - this book ends in a weird place, in what feels like a middle of a story arc with no discernable stopping point. I can imagine it was a frustracting stopping point reading this series while not having book 3 to immediately continue on. So glad I could just continue on with book 3 - and chapter 1 in book 3 does read just like the next chapter in this book. I would have honestly preferred that book 2 & 3 were merged into a single book (or at least that this specific arc was finished in this book).
Still not sold on Michael Kramer as the narrator.

Fantastic
I really enjoyed the second book a real page-turner of a story the continuing adventures of klein and his family cough godfather type set in a magical universe, its just everything that made book one great, it does feel like we are still climbing the rollercoaster and not quite at the point it all kicks off, but great world building and base building going on .

Cthulhu dream monsters, here we come.
This is more entertaining than I expected. Never really was a horror fan, and I'm not sure if this counts, but I will read the sequel.
I wonder in the future if
3/5 Stars

Good Series
This story of a guy getting Izk into a body of a crippled accountant for the crowned prince was a very interesting read. The only thing that I don’t like is that he has the power to heal himself but doesn’t. Who would voluntarily be wheelchair bound?

Dealer's Throne growing ....
Who would have thought that a story with a one handed crippled protagonist could be so rivetting? Can't wait for book 3 to see who else and how else he overcomes. I really rate this author.

This series is compelling
I really enjoyed the world building in this book and I want to find out more. Also, I particularly like how the main character is working to make his neighborhood safer.

This has turned into a top tier series in the genre. Seth Ring is very prolific and his volume output doesn't affect the quality. Also, The Black Raven society stuff, is this the connection to his other series through the crow/raven god Hoonan? I'm looking forward to finging out! 👍🏽👍🏽

Very good book
This is a fine fantasy adventure novel. It is well written and edited. I especially like Obe. I anxiously await the sequel.

a world of nightmares and mysteries! This book doesn't give you too much, allowing the magic to stretch our imaginations, a rarity in the LitRPG genre.

A continuation of the first book that sees an advance of 'The Family' and not much else. I would love to get some additional depth and advancement to Garrett in the next installment.

Another great read in the Dreamer's Throne series. Better because of less reflection by the MC and plenty of movement from one issue to solve to another. Looking forward to installment #3!

A great continuation of the story! Can't wait to read what happens next!

These books are always a fun read, but definitely not my favorite Seth Ring book. I really liked the first Dreamers Throne, but am a bit confused by all the plot pieces in this book.

A good interlude to part 3, I do feel like these books could have been combined into one large one or two medium ones but other than that Im enjoying the story
