Vengeance Chronicles #2
The Lost Mage 2
Jon has a secret greater than people may realize. Many know by now he is the most unique mage born in centuries, many know his powers has far surpassed what many thought possible. What they do not know is that he now has the means to enact his revenge and perhaps gain some power of his own. Join Jon as he hones his skills and transcends from being the Lost Mage into something far greater.
P.S. The onions are here to stay unless someone has a better idea for a cover.

Really not that enjoyable
I often ignore editing mistakes for a good story. Well this didn't have many so that's good.
The story was written well enough from most perspectives but there were key things that were not only annoying but didn't make sense.
Why can't he kill quickly and easily? We know that he can because it would be easier than what we see him use for combat. It's harder to keep it non-lethal like he does.
He also shows that he's willing to be pushed around even when he doesn't need to and lacks imagination for discrete punishments. Why was impotence not on the table for the rapists?
He says he'll cooperate so he doesn't suffer but he is the ONLY healing mage out there. His options aren't limited (claims to the contrary are ignorant and stupid). He is also valuable enough that the king should let him get away with quite a bit as long as it doesn't hurt his bottom line. He'll take advantage of course but what's with the timid kitten act even after he arrived at his estate and with his subordinates?
This story has a very specific goal in mind and it's not going to let character, logic, or plot get in the way of it.
Ultimately I just didn't like the story. Some my complaints could be explained a little with in story context but not all. It feels like he's plotting his revenge of cooperating fully, helping them conquer the world, live full lives, and then laughing evily when they die of old age in their plush bedrooms. HOW DIOBALICAL!

Terrible story
I read it all the way through but found the first half so horrible that I almost stopped. The second half was so discombobulated that it made no linear sense. Guy can from range stop blood flow to a brain but cannot stop people from attacking him? Makes no sense. If it was i am a healer and do not want to kill people thing then all he has to do is stop the blood flow and knock them all out. But knocking them all out happens then does not happen for some unknown reason. Terrible.

Such a waste of time!
The editing (or lack there of) is horrendous, with simple errors in every paragraph if not every sentence. The MC is an unlikable idiot who consistently makes horrible choices. I do not recommend this book at all.

The lost mage 2
The storyline is very disjointed. I had no empathy for the characters. I felt like it was a very good I’m glad and skip the main pages to get through to the end. Don’t recommend it

novel plot and a great story teller
I would have given more stars but this book is badly in need of proof reading. The first prequal was the same. Many words missing entirely and misspellings all the way through

Good book.
Good read, too short. As I started getting into it, it ends. Book one and two should have been one book. Hope book 3 is longer.

Not worth it
Poor story quality and no plot depth. Please refrain from purchasing this book. It is not worth it. Nothing more to say.

enjoyable but hopefully will be more
It was enjoyable reading time. It was a excellent part 2 continuing with the story established in first book. I do hope there is a part 3.

A good but short book
My only real complaint about not only this book but this entire series is how short they are. I hope the next one is released soon and is a lot longer than the first two books.

Twelve year old's wet dream
Only read this if you are prepared for crude sex and paranormal rape. The book needs editing. They for the; their where there would be correct; many words missing.

Decent story
The authors reliance on crass sex does not move the story. He should learn subtler methods and to improve secondary character depth
