Godslayer Rising #2
Champion
He survived the war between the gods. But the games are just beginning...
Sean Marrow temporarily settled the gods' conflicts at the cost of his freedom. Intending to explore what The Everlands has to offer, he's waylaid when he's roped into another once-in-a-lifetime quest...
Absalom, the eerily self-aware boy deity, has an offer for Marrow: overcome three trials, and he will grant Marrow the power to harm immortals...
It's an offer Marrow can't refuse. With that power, he could escape the game. But the price of failure is steep. Should he fail any of the trials, he will be stuck forever in The Everlands...
The trials are unlike anything he expected. To overcome them, Marrow is pushed to his limits. He doesn't know if he can succeed...
But there is far more at stake than his own life. Slowly, Marrow is beginning to understand that the gods are not the only puppetmasters in this world. And The Everlands is far more than just a game...
Marrow's adventures continue in Absalom's Trials, Book 2 of The Everlands saga.

43 books538 followers***ANNOUNCEMENT*** The Titan Revenant, the fifth and final book in Ranger of the Titan Wilds, is out now on Amazon! Sweep up the complete series today >> geni.us/RangerOfTheTitanWilds
J.D.L. Rosell was swept away on a journey when he stepped foot outside his door and into The Hobbit. He hasn't stopped wandering since.
In his writing, he tries to recapture the wonder, adventure, and poignancy that captivated him as a child. His explorations have taken him to worlds set in over twenty novels and six series, which include Dragonforged, Ranger of the Titan Wilds, Legend of Tal, The Runewar Saga, and The Famine Cycle.
When he's not off on a quest, Rosell enjoys his newfound hobby of archery and older pastimes of hiking and landscape photography. But every hobbit returns home, and if you step softly and mind the potatoes, you may glimpse him curled up with his wife and two cats, Zelda and Abenthy, reading a good book or replaying his favorite video games.

Good
There were parts of this book that had me laughing. I liked the continuation of the story, but there seemed to be more typos in this book than the previous one. I’m excited to see what happens next.

Well.
True to form the second book was just as good as the first. Can not possibly recommend higher. Worth the purchase.
