Tasked with assigning a Hero to defeat the Demon Lord is an ambiguous figure known simply as the Prophet. As the priestess beholden to a particular god, she has the power to redo time until her chosen Hero successfully carries out his duty. Throughout her many time loops, one man piques her interest—a crass, money-grubbing adventurer who is a far cry from the ideal Hero candidate. Nonetheless, the Prophet taps him and his party to save the world. And though their doom seems all but inevitable, the Prophet can’t help but wonder if she’ll be able to defy fate with this inauspicious group…
I liked this more than Vol 1, probably 3.5, but I don't feel like rounding it up to 4 (which is where my "enjoyed and will rec" books start from).
The focus on the difficulties of the Prophet's work and the revelations about Leonard and his motivations were great. The fact that we know throughout that Leonard isn't and won't be the Hero tinted the events in a way I enjoyed.
Not much else to say, while a nice read, there wasn't much for me to hold onto and I don't see myself rereading this.
