Союз проклятых

Loner Series #2

by Alex Kosh, Алекс Кош

После того, как клан "Стальных Крыс" обманом завладел Костяным Мечом и продал его другому клану, Фальк вновь возвращается в Арктанию, чтобы попытаться вернуть квестовый предмет. Теперь на кону не только выполнения задания виртуальной богини, но и вполне реальная человеческая жизнь. Но все не так просто — в игре его на каждом шагу терроризируют "крысы", пытаясь заставить выложить всю информацию о местонахождении остальных эпических артефактов, представляющих не только игровую, но и немалую финансовую ценность. Да и новый владелец "Костяного Меча" едва ли захочет расстаться со столь ценным приобретением, и Фальку решительно нечего предложить ему в обмен. Но выход найдется всегда, пусть ради этого и придется нарушить закон...

Reviews

[Lena · Rating 3 out of 5]

The first book started off okay, but it became more and more clear the MC was an idiot. And his silly attitude became less silly when I realized he wasn’t faking his foolery. He was also completely incompetent. His low level didn’t make him weak. His low intelligence did.
Examples: *spoilers I guess*

- juvenile pining for a taken girl (that he JUST met and doesn’t even know)
- revealed secret quest to his enemies
- trusted people he literally says he doesn’t/shouldn’t trust
- managed to get filmed wielding impossible powers
- traded a wish from a god to meet with said taken girl
- decided to nap during a job/battle

I just can’t. I think the story is pretty great. And I actually really want to know what happens. But not enough to submit myself to read anymore from this MC’s pov.

I received a review copy of this book.
Very interesting story, and since I tend to like LitRPG books where in game skills bleed over into the real world, this one was especially fun. Certainly looking forward to more in this series. I really liked this offering.

The main character is just pathetic.

The idea was fun at first, but has since been taken to the point of just being silly. Nothing that is happening level side is even a little believable. The MC has shown no redeeming qualities, at this point I am hoping he fails.

This is an interesting series, and while the action of the story is interesting the thing I love the most is the mystery of the "gods" and the abilities transferring to the real world. There is a layer underneath everything that is slowly being pealed back with each book.

Just No to this MC

The “her” is an idiot. I’m annoyed with myself that I spent the time reading this. The author has a good imagination and if the MC wasn’t so annoying and an idiot to boot, this would be okay. That’s the reason for 2 stars.

intriguing

Great story that kept me entranced with a huge amount of action in both worlds. Hints of something in the background. Technology is very realistic.

Very good one sitting read

I enjoyed reading this book very much and I recommend this book to anyone who likes LitRPG and progression type of books with lots of action.
