If you loved the first book, don't ruin the memory by reading this one
I recommend to any readers who loved the first book, do not read this book. Pretend it was never released and be happy with the end of Undying Lands. There are many reasons why I'm saying this, but I'm going to stock to only three.
The first, and biggest reason, character development backslides so far its as if the first book never existed. How can you expect readers to connect to characters when you have twenty different POV shifts? The first book already pushed the limits and this one destroyed them.
Number two, Tersa. This character is the most useless, petulant, and disappointing character I've had the displeasure of reading in years. And the worst part is that she gets the most development, of you can even call it that. Towards the middle of the book even seeing her name come up made me want to skip the rest of the chapter. And for some reason, every character panders to her every action and excuses her harmful natures. I really couldn't stand it any longer.
Number three, and this is a small one but pretty impactful, is why would you choose a title that spoils your own book? I was completely baffled when I first saw it. Still am to be honest.
Thats it. There's a lot more, but three is a good number to stop at. My recommendation, obviously not needed, find a new muse because your current one destroyed a gold mine for you.

There are so many things in this book that are badly written that I don't know where to begin. First of all, this entire book is a whole load of nothingness. Nothing happens in this book. There is no story or character progression. And everything that does happen is illogical. Following points will contain spoilers.
Its all predictable. The author's attempts at making the story unpredictable and full of illogical turns actually makes it very easy to read. Because there is no imagination.
I hope that in future the author uses the stronger elements of his world to create a good story. The history of the main character's race. The politics of the kingdom and the world at large. The various classes and secrets behind mastering and combining them. The various professions and the perks that they could add. The experienced characters, and their knowledge. This and much more could be used to craft an extremely good story. Drop the obsession with cheap characters like Tersa or Kirsten. They are the low points of the book. You don't write a story based on your low points.
I will give the 3rd book a chance, but if its more the this illogical BS, thats where I drop the series.

Crazy
Let us see, the MC retains his cool, acts as the perfect friend, clears the trials in the most exemplary fashion possible, and is handed a cursed cloak. The companion panics in the trial and then throws a tantrum and she gets a huge boost. Yes, the world is often not fair, but fiction in general, and litrpg in particular is not supposed to be that way

I am quite interested in Trent’s story, but this book spends much too long with belligerent idiots like Kirstin and Tersa. If you find Tersa amusing that’s probably great, but I absolutely loathe her. ‘Stubborn prat makes a mess’ is not my idea of a good time.
January 18, 2021
This book started well, the previous book was enjoyable but then the midpoint happened, and made a decision that is a contender for the worst decision made by a fantasy author ever, he made his main character invisible.
This will carry some spoilers mild ones, but to say the least, if you have nothing better todo consider not reading this mess.
Another reason this book is the absolute worst LitRPG I have read to date is Tursa. Never in all my time reading this genre have I meet a more annoying character. A character that physically abuses the main character because "she wants to" and "it's what her class made her do", and apparently that is "good" character growth when she decides to not headbutt the main character. She is a fool, horrible, an idiot, self intitled brat, arrogant, and ignorant to top it off she is physically and mentally taxing on the other characters in the book to the point that it is "good" character growth when she "kind of" learns to not put her "friends" in situations where they nearly kill themselves trying to save her. Also, the only reason she thinks the main character is her good friend is that he does not backtalk her as everyone else does, and he only does that because the main character has 0 and I mean 0 world knowledge (and the author refuses to enlighten the main character on any of this).
In conclusion, no one and I mean no one should put themselves through the mess that is this book. Around 33% of the book is spent with the worst character in Tursa and the last 50% of it the main character does nothing because of author fiat.
A good friend of mine dropped this book and will never return and I had the hardest time finishing it and I will never return, what a mess ¤sigh¤ the first one had such promise.

It was an easy read but not as good as the first book. One of the detractors of The Land of the Undying Lord was the Tersa character, who I assumed was written to be intentionally annoying so that the character can grow and overcome it's origins as the series progress. Well apparently not. In A Bond Broken, Tersa not only continues to be annoying and spoil the story but also gets rewarded for it. Another problem with this book is that it's shorter while dedicating chapters to characters like Kirsten. Chapters that didn't advance the story and just felt like filler. In fact since not much happened and there wasn't a lot of character development the whole book felt like filler or a #1.5 side quest.
I plan to check out the next book in the series but it might be my last one.

Sub par.
This definitely feels like a filler book. Nothing really happens and it’s all seems to be about fixing the mistakes of book one, namely the horrible useless rabid dog of Tersa’s entire character. Is it fixed? Barely, but she basically just gets gifted strength at no cost, I doubt she even learned anything in the process.
Trent is thrown into the deep end for no reason and I felt so bad for what was done to him. I was expecting progression and strength, especially with how high reaching the levels in this story seem to be. This need to pick up substantial.
I will still pick up book three, this series has potential but Tersa has got to go.

It was okay but...(spoilers?)
This book was okay, I loved the first one and thought it was amazing. After finishing this book I felt dissatisfied. The story didnt really go in the direction I thought it would and the direction it did was pretty depressing. I really wanted to enjoy it and I was for the first half but once he got through the garden trial it went down from there. I'm sure the author has a reason for why he did what he did, but it just wasnt what I was expecting. I really hope that the problem Trent is having at the end of this book is solved in the next because I dont think I could stand him going through this a lot. I felt bad for him and really enjoyed his relationship with Teresa and Sergeant Cullen.
I will definetly read the next one, the writing is really good and the story is interesting, I just hope it gets more upbeat.

Way too short
This has become my favorite series. Love the novelty of the Bond and the growth. A unique twist to the growing hero. Wish there was more progress to the story, but that just means more books in the future! Other than one obnoxious character, I have no complaints. I am hooked and need the next book now.

I loved this book and really enjoy the series so far. To me this chapter of Trent's journey is not meant to be easy its about him beginning to find himself. There are characters that I really dislike but that doesn't take away from the authors wonderful talent. I hope another book will be released soon.

Excellent book
I really enjoyed this second book in the infinite world series. I enjoy the growth and how well written the characters are. The fights are detailed, and we get more sweet loot, can't wait for the next one! Sergeant Cullen is the best

Again with these female characters being beyond useless… I’m beginning to think this is deliberate…
February 18, 2021
This was a bit of a disappointment. The first book was a mix bag of things I enjoyed overall stifled by amateur writing. This story gave me less of what I enjoyed and then turned the volume up on the problems.
From the first book the thing I liked most was how integrated the mechanics were with the world and I also enjoyed how these mechanics were uncovered while following the story of a small number of characters. I didn't particularly like any of the characters, but I was interested to see what came next for them.
In this book, the author decided to head-hop into the pov of nearly every single character encountered and also spend time bouncing around the world as our original group had since been separated. The problem was that I didn't care what was going on with most of these characters, I just wanted to follow Trent's story. I was able to tolerate it in the first book since everyone was still geographically close to each other and their experiences were more related instead of isolated.
I found myself skimming often as every new pov character was accompanied by an infodump of their whole life story and motivations and I honestly couldn't have cared less.
My fear from the first book came true here as well. Stories that are inspired by Dungeons and Dragons have a tendency to make things go wrong and create a spiral of improbability during the course of an encounter. This happens in tabletop with experienced players who intentionally try to "break the game" by taking the intended story off the rails and into the weeds to see how the DM (Dungeon Master) responds and adapts. For me, it undermines the tension of a scene and turns it into the LitRPG equivalent of an improvised comedy show.
The problem with this is that I don't enjoy seeing nearly every plot point resulting from a person making a bad decision or a mistake. I don't mind that every now and then, but I also want to see a competent character overcoming obstacles and then facing unintended consequences. This book, by comparison, felt like a bunch of idiots trying to herd cats while Benny Hill music was playing.
I plan to take a break from this series, read a few other things, and then probably come back to read the next book and see if the direction changes. If it's more of the same, then the 3rd book will likely be my limit.
I probably wouldn't recommend this book to anyone unless they were a real D&D enthusiast and even then I would say Read at Your Own Risk.

4 But He Thought It Loudly Stars
A Bond Broken is the second book in The Infinite World Series by J. T. Wright.
Honestly, this book mostly pissed me off. It was a combination of things. Mainly the Fairy Cloak in the end. Leading to yet another misunderstanding that will probably inhibit Trent from counting on his known companions and keep his destined meet up with Alrashian forces til the distant future.
Then there’s how Orion’s story, may end well and leave hope and the implied understanding that he’s close to reaching Clan Embra, but we aren’t offered even definitive proof of his missions end.
Not to mention Tersa, with her increasingly annoying behavior. And bull-headed ignorance. Will this girl ever learn? Anything? Maybe something constructive? We can only futilely grasp at hope, I suppose.
And Ranor. His sneaky machinations and ‘gentle’ coaxing that supplement the main portion of his guidance. That he was yet another mentor or guardian of Trent’s fate that did not notice his missing bond/summoned link and the presence of the heavy weight on Trent’s shoulders after the garden. Maybe they can be granted some leeway since it made them forget him but how will they overcome it’s annoying consequences and further aid him?
I also want more Emira in my life. Give me back my Fairy Queen. She was interesting and would have definitely benefitted Trent’s story with more page time.
All this aside, my many objections do not detract from how much I truly enjoyed the extension of his path. I’m deeply invested in discovering how the Dross Clan and the Alrashian people, combined with Trent and Ranor will usher in a new kingdom.
A mite upset that this book focused so scarcely within Al’drossford’s borders. But the different trials and intriguing characters definitely picked up the slack left in their absence imo. I wonder how long it takes him to be remembered, and the Adventure life will suit him in the next book.

This book should have been a part of the first book. It never had life of it’s own. The rewards were over powered for completing a trial. Again there is still no underlying evil plot the protagonist is trying to fight against. I can’t stand Trent’s side kick, she is a terrible person.

A bit disappointed
Book one had some of the same mistakes but they were overcome by the good story. The same cannot be said of this volume. I have read a few books that I have not finished because the characters stupidity was beyond the pale. This one came close. Not the MC but one of those close to him. She appears early in the first book and seems normal enough at first. Now she is tree stump dumb and seemingly beyond even the help of the gods. The author uses her as a plot device but is so heavy handed about that it moves quickly past ridiculous and well into annoying. That being said, the tale is still interesting if a bit inconsistent.
Exposition. There is way too much of it here. More so than book one which also had too much. Worse, the author spends words and time on completely unimportant characters that to nothing to advance the story. A lot. This book felt rushed and packed with filler. I hope book three is better. Book one showed much promise...

I had this book when I finished book one. I put off reading it because I didn't want to deal with that annoying "brute girl". Now she has her own POV, I'm really not enjoying this book.
I could have finished this book a day or more ago, but I kept putting it down. I've realized after finishing the book that it's whenever I had to read anything about the "brute" that I lost interest.
She was given more POV time in this book, and I'm not sure I want to continue the series if I have to read more of her in the sequel.
The guy who read book one with me dropped it because he couldn't stand the Duke's daughter. I didn't like her either, but soldiered on. I think the "brute" is going to be my limit.
It will be a coin toss if I pick up the third book. I like the story and Trent, but that girl pushed her way into the first book, and continues to do so.
She is like a fly landing on your sandwich and depositing maggots. Then settling in for an extended stay.
3/5 Stars

Arrrg!!!!!
I like this series I like it a lot but it seems like the author is going out of his way to make his companion the most annoying person in the world. I was constantly waiting for to to become slightly more bearable and it never happened. I found myself wishing she would be written out of the story and I really hope she plays a smaller part in further books but have very little hope this will happen. Please make her just a little bit likeable

Meh
This book had a lot of promise coming off of the first of the series. It lost a bit of charm jumping around with different perspectives, and then the shift for the MC was a jolting change of course for this story. Not to mention the over the top drill instructor with a god complex, and a “best friend” so clueless it’s hard to read any part she’s in. Hoping the third entry is better.

Great
This book is as good as the first. Definitely in the running for Eddings level competition. Absolutely first rate. I only wish it could have been longer. Well, that and more focus on En'trent. Side characters are nice and all, but if they are interesting, they need their own story.

Enjoyable
I really enjoy Trent’s adventures and his exploration of the world around him. I do feel like the amount of world building and exposition from other characters is too extensive. For me it takes away from the story and makes it harder to focus on when I get a lecture on airships. But all together I really do enjoy this series and look forward to more.

The Sundering
In book 2 we rejoin Trent after the undead trial. Without much conscious effort he was able to avoid overt manipulation and become much stronger. Although it was hinted at in the title I didn’t think all his bonds were to be broken but I suspect it was a reason for that.

KU Review
Wandered a little more than the first. Always kept me hungering to get back to the mc. I’ll be starting the next as soon as I stop typing.
As the title says this is a review for Kindle Unlimited and as such is a reflection of my enjoyment of the book and in no way reflects cost to value analysis.

New favorite series
This series is FANTASTIC. If you haven't read the first book, I highly recommend that you start there. I have not been this entranced by a series in a while. It's great.

Nice development of character, and universe
The first book really drew me in, and this second version has really secured it for me im the halls of my memory, and will definitely recommend to someone else to read!!

A fantastic read
As an avid reader and fan of adventuring beginnings, I wasn’t sure that this would quite measure up to the first, since it was so good, but lo and behold, it far exceeded my expectations!! Truly an awesome book, 12/10

Great, but lacking
Loves the first. But this one felt..empty compared to the first. Very little focus was on the mc and the pov switched so much that even the other characters barely had time for anything to happen. I hope book 3 has more meat to it.

Book 2 is just as excellent. I love how entering a trial (dungeon) furthers the plot. It isn't just your normal grinding to level up. It is a necessity to advance the story. I also like how this dungeon is different from the one in book 1. So vastly different and surprising. Fairies? And why are fairies serving in a dungeon?
Trent, as always, don't have any pre-conception, so it's refreshing to have his actions surprise you. I really feel for Trent towards the end, and I'm glad I came across this series late so I could dive straight into book 3 without that cliffhanger hanging over me. The day Trent cries and starts showing more normal human reaction would be the culmination of the book, and of his growth.
One drawback is the book is too short compared to book 1. The enjoyment is too short!! Second drawback is Tersa... She got into trouble with some pretty important entity with her swearing. However, I don't think she swears that much in book 1... Now in book 2, it's like the author's pushing her swearing as her only personality trait. I understand that her specialisation has changed her somewhat, but it still feels a bit out of place. If Cullen and the rest see so much potential in her, her inability to learn from her mistakes truly baffle me as to WHAT they actually SEE in her??
I hope Tersa improves tremendously (personality-wise) in future books, else she'd be the one to ruin an excellent story if more pages are spent on her...
