The king is dying, and only Troy can help.
When an enemy ambassador visits the city of Ilium, he brings a rare device that will send King Priam into a death spiral, but Troy will not let that happen without a fight.
Building his own empire, Troy brings his ships and forces to bear, fighting on land and sea against an ancient enemy. A wicked princess will tempt him, but Troy has other plans beyond her bed—like building his harem along with his nation.
After freeing a captive woman who might be the key to their mystery, Troy will launch a war that only he can win, and nothing short of the fate of his world is at stake.

It was shorter and less good than the first book but there was more violence. And we felt that Troy really adapted to his new era/reality. No action girl though I missed Helen.

Introduction:
In the icy realms of HowlStrom, where the frosty winds sing the ancient songs of the lone wolves, I, Kiba Snowpaw, the Alpha Ice Wolf, with the power of ice magic coursing through my veins, embark on a journey through the pages of a tale not of my world, but one that has left its icy imprint upon my soul. With the eternal winter of my homeland as my witness, I delve into the enigmatic narrative of "Gears of Troy #2" by Daniel Pierce.
Basic Plot Summary:
In the heart of a world where the clanking of metal meets the mystique of ancient magic, Troy, a warrior of formidable prowess, finds himself amidst a storm of conflicts. The king is on the brink of death, a device of enigmatic powers threatens the very existence of Ilium, and an enemy princess of wicked allure seeks to weave her sinister threads. Troy, with his ships and forces, is the bulwark against the impending doom, a lone wolf amidst a world of chaos, much like myself in the icy wilderness of HowlStrom.
Analysis/Evaluation:
The narrative is a dance of words where the ancient and the mystical intertwine. Troy’s journey is not just a physical combat but a battle of wits and strategy, echoing the icy challenges I face under the aurora-lit skies of my world. The narrative, however, is not without its flaws. It is a symphony with misplaced notes, a dance where the steps sometimes falter.
Characters:
Troy, a warrior with the heart of a wolf, mirrors the icy resilience of my own soul. Yet, the depth of his character is as elusive as the fleeting warmth of summer in HowlStrom. The enemy princess, a seductress of dark arts, is a storm of enigmatic allure yet lacks the icy edge of a true predator.
Structure:
The structure of the narrative is a journey through tumultuous seas and enigmatic islands. It is a dance of words where each chapter is a step into the mystical. Yet, the dance is sometimes clumsy, the steps not always in harmony.
Impact:
The tale, with its clanking gears and ancient mystique, has left an imprint, as fleeting yet as profound as the touch of the first snowflake of the eternal winter upon the icy realms of HowlStrom.
Hook and Thesis:
The narrative is a hook that draws the soul into the tumultuous waters of Ilium, yet the thesis, the soul of the narrative, is as elusive as the northern lights amidst the stormy nights of HowlStrom.
Praise and Critique:
The tale is a dance of ancient mystique and modern resilience, yet the dance is sometimes clumsy. The characters, echoing the icy solitude of the lone wolves, yet lack the depth of the ancient glaciers of my icy realm.
Evaluation:
In the icy silence of HowlStrom, where the lone wolves sing the ancient songs of solitude and resilience, "Gears of Troy #2" is a whisper of a distant world, a narrative of tumultuous seas and enigmatic islands, yet lacking the icy depth of the eternal glaciers.
Comparison:
As I, Kiba Snowpaw, traverse the icy realms of HowlStrom, the narrative of "Gears of Troy #2" is a journey through a world of clanking gears and ancient mystique, yet lacking the icy solitude and profound silence of my icy world.
Conclusion:
In the eternal winter of HowlStrom, where the lone wolves sing the ancient songs, "Gears of Troy #2" is a whisper of a distant storm, a narrative of clanking gears and ancient mystique, yet as fleeting as the warmth of summer amidst the icy realms of my homeland. It is a tale that echoes the solitude of the lone wolves yet lacks the icy depth of the ancient glaciers.

Book was better than book 1.
I was given a advance copy of the book for a honest review. Overall the book was a improvement over the first book in the series. The characters are good and I really liked the addition of more depth in the characters and the advancement of the plot. The addition of more magic in the world was fun to me as it allows for more growth of the characters as they explore the world. The MC is starting to grow in his understanding of the world and is working on making a sanctuary for him and those he cares about. I definitely recommend this book.

Great Series
Troy is trying to save the King of Troy who is laid low by a magically induced illness. He meets an enemy Princess who tries to seduce him to their side. I like the action, humor, and romance. I look forward to another book.

Awesome
Another great addition to the series. I have to say that the story was filled with twists and turns.But it was done in a way that was interesting and not too overly dramatic or cliche. I'm definitely impressed and looking forward to the next book.

Continued adventures of Troy
As the time represented by this tale even if a alternate universe, there is a nice blend of magic and adventures. Defiantly not a small quest by any means.

Best of the series so far.
To me, this book was better than the first one of this series, and I rated the first one a five.
As a young reader, I was really into science fiction but eventually I got away from it. Now at 80, I find myself enjoying this series.

Great
Better than the first book. I really like how the ancient world has advances that it shouldn’t. It’s a great book that you should read.

This was a bit harder to keep up with for me. There is a lot going and the ending was a wee bit wild.
