The introduction of Kublai Khan at the start and at periodic intervals throughout are meant to frame the narrative and explain the consequences of slippage in time. I am not convinced that it does this with any great clarity. I do not feel there are any great consequences to the fracturing of time; therefore, the quest's urgency appears redundant.
Alexander Mason and Jak make an interesting and workable partnership and the story is full of magical danger and adventure to keep the reader interested. From a developmental point of view, it is interesting that during the story he becomes desensitised to killing, seeing it as a necessary evil, but his humanity is restored at the end when he spares a life. Dariani is a little thin on character and although important as a driving force for Alexander appears little in the story. Ladislau is a suitably eccentric and psychopathic villain and the Magelords form a collective ruling power each governing their own lands. However, there appears little difference in the terrain of each land, with the speech of each world being automatically translated by Alexander’s cloak. The worlds would have a greater impact if there were a bigger difference in terrain and culture to provide a challenge to the protagonist (His Dark Materials, Game of Thrones).
Generally, this is a good action-based magical fantasy where good triumphs over evil and the protagonist is rewarded at the end. If you enjoyed the first book you will not be disappointed with this one.

This book’s amazing cover was what drew me in to it, and it did not disappoint in the slightest bit. Worldwalker’s intricate plot is the exact high stakes high fantasy epic I needed this Summer.
It tells us the story of how average college student Alexander Mason is pulled into a sword and sorcery world, blending isekai elements with traditional high fantasy ones seamlessly. It’s first person POV flows non-intrusively, and the author is skilled in using emotional and sensory descriptors without disrupting the narrative. It’s interesting how Alex struggles to adapt to a dusty red world without food or water, with no idea what awaited him, when he expected to be partying in college.
The world building is one of the book’s best points. Worldwalker is basically composed of Five Worlds, noble houses with alliances and betrayals, demons and gods. I love how every chapter begins with an excerpt from one of the fantasy world’s historical books, some of them even written by the protagonist, so the world feels much more immersive and lived-in.
Despite being book 2, it’s a self-contained book. It ties in with the established world and narrative of Magelord, but it features a new protagonist. In fact, Alexander Mason from this book is the Magelord from Book 1.

A gripping fantasy
One of the standout features of Christian's writing is how he crafts his words. From the moment Alexander Mason gets abducted into this cosmic game, you're pulled into a whirlwind of vivid landscapes and intricate societies. Christian doesn't just describe places; he paints them with words, making you feel like you're right there alongside Alexander, dodging political intrigues and taming demons.
Dialogue in Worldwalker is another highlight. It's snappy and engaging, often infused with humor that feels organic rather than forced. The characters' voices are distinct, which makes the interactions feel real and dynamic. Whether it’s Alexander’s baffled college kid, turned hero responses or the enigmatic quips from the Magelords, the conversations flow naturally and keep the story moving at a brisk pace.
Christian also has a knack for pacing. He expertly balances action scenes with moments of introspection, giving you just enough time to catch your breath before plunging back into the next adventure. This rhythm keeps the book from ever feeling slow or bogged down, which is crucial in a story packed with gods, demons, and interworld politics.

An Exciting Fantasy Adventure
I'm already a fan of Andrew Christian having read the first Worlwalker book, and loved it. Just to note, even though it's book two in the series, it is a standalone novel and you can enjoy it as is. Though mentioned in book one, book two focuses on Alexander Mason's story.
Worldwalker Book Two follows the story of Alexander, a college student who suddenly finds himself thrust into different worlds where he faces a series of challenges, threats, and dangers.
Alexander is a relatable character, and through Christian's writing, you can feel the gravity of the decisions the character often needs to make. The rest of the characters are interesting in their own way. The plot surrounds the concept of time slipping, and although intriguing, I wish it could have been explored a little bit further, as it lacked a sense of urgency.
This is a book with all the best elements of a great fantasy story including, incredible worldbuilding, memorable characters, demons, magic, action, and more. Once you immerse yourself in this book, you'll find it hard to put down.

A Thrilling Magic Fantasy
I found Worldwalker Book Two by Andrew Christian fascinating and entertaining. The plot features the life of Alexander, a young college student who finds himself on a mission across universes transforming to become an agent of change. This role forces him to make decisions completely far from his initial moral values.
The story is full of mystery, magic, sorcery, and intrigue and I was so immersed in the twists and turns that I didn't give it a rest. I kept turning pages eager to uncover what would happen next. The author did a great job with character development. Also, the settings and plot were so descriptive that I could visualize the events like I was watching a movie.
What's more, Christian’s language choice and use of a conversational tone made the story lively, engaging, and exciting. His storytelling skills are top-notch. I enjoyed reading Worldwalker Book Two and I recommend it to everyone who likes magic fantasy thrillers.

Worldwalker Book 2
Worldwalker Book 2 immediately drew me in. Alexander, enjoying his life as a college student, suddenly finds himself tasked with a mission by the Time Weaver. I absolutely loved the journey that Alexander embarked on, and Jak quickly became one of my favorite characters. The scene with the arm perfectly captured how I imagine society would respond if a new money system were approved—it’s both chilling and thought-provoking.
Despite the age gap, I enjoyed the side love interest between Alexander and Dari. Their story was compelling, though I wish Dari could have accompanied Alexander on his journey. However, I understand the need for Alexander to face conflict, pain, and growth on his own.
The story was incredibly detailed and descriptive, making you feel as if you were right there alongside the characters. In the end, everything was wrapped up beautifully, and I can’t wait for the next installment in the series. I highly recommend this book to lovers of fantasy and action.

I've been waiting for a book that transports you to a world filled with sorcery, magic, and godlike battles; Worldwalker Book 2 is the medicine you need for a pure fantasy. Andrew Christian brilliantly attracts the reader’s attention fully grasping their interest. Reading this book was like watching Clash of the Titans, or any Lord of the Rings movies. It was reading and taking part in the quest for the ages. It was hard to get distracted from the book. I applaud Christian’s brilliant use of action verbs, powerful language, and easy flow structure which made this book more attractive.
However, there may be a few explicit scenes that are not for the faint of heart. But, they did not take away from the story’s context overall. The book was fascinatingly written, edited, and structured. For enjoying this book from beginning to end, there's no question this book gets a perfect five star rating.

This book wonderfully does one thing many fantasies fail to achieve. It presents a grounded character that we can follow along with and makes us invest in that character FIRST before engaging us in the magical world it’s set in. We are not introduced to flying dragons and magical wizards-although they abound in this story. We are first introduced to the hero, Alexander. We see that he is just a regular college student like most readers. We relate to him on a deep level. From there, we are introduced to the wizard who then thrusts him into another dimension, putting him in over his head, and we ROOT for Alex to win.
The book itself was marvelously written. The world is vividly portrayed, but it's not self-absorbed or over-embellished. The pacing is quick, but it's not too fast for readers. Its well-balanced, and perfect for audiences of all ages. Great book!

Interesting twists
While this is the second book in this saga, it is a stand-alone story. Having not read book one, I did not feel as if I was missing any information or back story. In the same respect, Worldwalker Book Two did not leave any loose ends, making it unnecessary to wait for Book Three to get the full story.
The author weaves together romance and adventure as the main character moves between worlds to complete his mission. The saga is full of suspense, humor, and tenderness. The descriptions will have you feeling as if you are right there in the middle the action.
Great read for lovers of fantasy, romance, supernatural, or just a really active imagination.

This is an exciting adventure fanstasy that had me on the edge of my seat. I’m a sucker for damsel in distress tropes, which are actually really hard to find these days, so needless to say, I was hooked. I loved the writing.
I also loved how the main character is full of morals and values—the kind of person people actually want to read about. All in all, it’s great. I’d recommend it.
