It took me forever to pick up the second one because they were hard to get, but I’m very glad he continued the story, I’m very curious to see where this will go. I absolutely loved the first, and this was a very solid sequel for what looks mostly like a side quest (and I really can’t blame them for doing it, seeing as that is what I end up doing when I game as well. All side quests and no main quest). There were moments that could have moved faster, others where I could’ve stayed longer, but the very best of it all was actually the ending, because that was the moment the side quest actually made sense in the general picture. I like how it’s all getting connected, and it feels like the perfect transition book for the finale.
The characters are also taking some interesting turns, and I do wonder what will happen if they stay too long in this world. Guess I’ll figure that one out in the next book.

The continuing tale of Allison and friends, somehow transported to a fantasy realm during a LARPing session. It took me a bit to catch up in this, because it's been a couple years since I read the first one. (My fault, I should have re-read It's All Fun and Games before starting this one.) But once I did, the action happened quickly. People and creatures weren't who I always thought they were. An enjoyable read, and I look forward to the next (and final?) book.

Excellent read. Complete story. Fun romp. Looking eagerly for next book.

Each character is very well developed. For example, the woman (actually a girl) clearly matures and grows in her role. The thief is constantly fighting his non-good side. My major regret is the brevity of the story. A Robert Jordan, Dave is not.

An action-packed sequel that leaves you satisfied but excited for whatever comes next for our beloved group of adventurers!
