Arcane Arctic 2
Uhh... Is she supposed to have that feral glint in her eyes?
Jay Morgan managed to wake his best friend Molly O'Brian from the Portal Sleep that had claimed her. But Molly has changed after her experience in the enchanted dream sleep. Her sweet, bubbly nature is sometimes replaced by a fierce warrior woman Jay hardly recognizes. And this warrior woman has unexpected appetites...
It's pretty hot. But Jay's not gonna lie. It's kinda scary, too.
In order to help Molly gain control of her her violent and carnal urges, Jay and Lyra--the beautiful and deadly fox-kin archer--must help her become a Delver. Only through integration with the dungeon's magic will Molly be able to overcome her personal demons and harness the potential of the powers she unlocked in the Portal Sleep.
Maybe she'll even join Jay and Lyra between the sheets instead of watching from the sidelines, too? [Side-quest Accepted!]
But Winterhaven's leader, the wily wolf-kin Runolf, will do anything he can to keep Jay and his party from ever entering the dungeon again. Jay must find allies to help his cause, level up, and get to the bottom of the corruption that has Winterhaven crushed under its thumb.
All that, and keep the half-mad dungeon from killing him as it tries to make him stronger. Sure. No problem.

This book continued the excellent work of the first, with a compelling story unfolding before my eyes.
The MC continues to have a strong presence, while getting blatant help from some entity he believes is the dungeon they explore. It gives him bonuses that are a little absurd at times, but it's worked so far.
The harem grows by one, with another queued up just as the first book did. There is again some power leveling going on with the new member, but that should end soon.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. I still hate the start of each new chapter due to the awful choice to have a huge white background with light grey letters, that I find myself having to cover up so I can read the rest of that first page of the chapter. It's really hard on the eyes, so really annoying. That's my only complaint with this series.

looks like it will be longer than 3, more plot in this one. The fmc's are also growing on me. One thing still need to know is how the dungeon is able to so convincingly make pop culture references...did it completely brain drain him, seems like some lovercraftian stuff.

More of the same. Not much to say, really. I quite liked the first book, and here's more of it.
Warning: The book ends on a major cliffhanger, which I tend to dislike. Not enough to drop a star, but...just be mindful of it.

I gotta say. If it were me, i'm pretty sure i would have kicked Molly out of the party by the time we reached the end of this book. She's a god damn loose cannon and MC does zero to reign her in. What a shitty leader. She just walks all over him.

Tearing through these
Im loving this. The dungeon, the ladies, Jay's style and the class skills. This is Harem Dungeon Crawler Carl in a lot of ways, and I mean that as a huge compliment. On to book three!

A brilliant sequel
A great entry in this series. Loving the characters and world, the action and "action". I'm excited to read more.

Best one yet!!
Meet the undead, more powerful than any enemy Ray’s growing group has fought before. If only the dead would stay dead, this would be a much easier quest.

Arcane Arctic 2 good read
If you like harem stories and RPG, you’ll love this series. I will definitely reread this once I’m done. Well, after reading the author’s other offerings.

I'm a huge fan of Molly's character. I'll probably read the whole series to see more of her antics.
