War stirs in the distance, out of the edges of thought. Trouble brews throughout the land, even though a great evil has been quelled.
Garek is a traitor to his kind. A minotaur that has given up war. An example must be set. A horde marches for these lands, to claim his life.
Through this all, the farm grows. The attention of many is on this new God-slayer, and they find not a great adventurer, but a farmer, content in his ways.
Can't help myself, lets start with the cover. Its horrid, one nice thing about Kindle is that you don't have to look at the cover every time you pick up a book. Onto the story itself, this was quite good I really enjoyed it.
However this really needs an agent. There are way to many words and by this I mean things like your in the middle of a fight and you are thinking about what you've accomplished lately.
And the Epilogue, it was fantastic all epilogue's should be this encompassing.
Personal growth. Dangerous choices. Still our reborn protagonist seeks peace for himself against the mindless violence of minotaur society and find peace for those he chooses to befriend. The starkness of this imaginary world the Author has created wars with the protagonists dream to find peace. Even the system battles him, the so-called god's warning him not to stand in their way, yet he chooses to free his friend, chooses life, and thus is rewarded.
The first book was quite good, lots of interesting world building, solid story, great characters. This one has cut away several of those characters, is less well edited, and has a few slow spots. Lots of misspelled words, several similarly spelled or sounding words that are not correct, etc. Hopefully book 3 will be better edited.
I don’t know. I loved the first book. Gave it five stars. I struggled with this one before I finally gave up. Not even sure I could put my finger on why. It just didn’t have the energy and excitement of the first one and I felt like there was too much going on that didn’t make a lot of sense.
This series requires you to ignore the cover and titles. This was a much better sequel than I was expecting. Garek earned the godtouched title, now he focuses on preparing for the fallout from gaining the title.
Good story about a good man. A subversion of the normal isekai. I just wish a line editor would be employed to correct all of the instances of the wrong word being used.
