Wizard's Tower Book 2 continues Nemon Fargus's uproarious wizarding escapades, but it also delves into some dark and poignant moments. As Nemon navigates his kingdom's war plans, his relentless pursuit of magical secrets leads to significant level ups.
This book masterfully combines fantasy and humor, with Nemon's grumpy charm adding a comical touch. The magical world is captivating, but what truly sets it apart are the moments of darkness and poignancy that sneak up on you.

I hope book two keeps the steam from book one.
Happily, this book kept the steam from the last book, and kept chugging along. There were some annoying bits in the beginning, but I thoroughly enjoyed it by the end.
It was funny how
I will happily read the next book, hope it continues to be as fun.
3/5 Stars

I will definitely not be continuing with this series. I have no idea why it's sold as a LitRPG story. It isn't.
The story isn't even all that good to be perfectly honest. If you're a fantasy fan, you'll probably like this one, but if you're reading it because it says LitRPG, don't bother, it isn't worth the read.

Good Plot but horrid MC
The plot is brilliant, storyline compelling and side characters are great. Love the magic system & lore of the world.
The downside is the MC, I had to (so many times ) forced myself to keep reading as the MC is just horrid in my opinion. Violent, Always happy to Murder, merciless, unforgiving, petty... it just puts you off the book because the MC is so unlikable. Would recommend to others for the plot and storyline but warn them that the MC just needs to be ignored 9 times out of 10.

This book always felt a bit off maybe it was the wishy washy ness of the main character or the fact I figured out after a few chapters that I had not listed to the first book. The characters were ok but the main wizard seemed a bit eccentric for everyone to pinning their hopes on him. But I listened and once I got into it and started to remember characters it turned ok. The narration was really good and that is what kept me engaged. This is a good audiobook but I think I really need to catch up.

My Rating System:
5- Perfect for my taste, I could not physically stop reading/listening and wanted more afterward.
4- Almost perfect, could not stop reading/listening, probably wanted more afterward.
3- I enjoyed the book and could see others loving it, I need to think if I want more.
2- I can see why others might like the book, but I could not, I do not want more.
1- What is this? What went wrong? Why did they do this? This doesn't make any sense! (No idea who it is for, but definitely not for me).

When the MC is dead inside, your interest tends to wane.
I was hoping the last book set up some kind of redemption arc so that this character would have some sign of life. It did not. He never gets last petty irritation. This colors most of the slice-of-life parts as boring. It also leaves you disinterested by the end when story finally happens. End of book one saw him get a tier five class. It took till the end of book two for him to do anything with it.

A lot of the previous book’s issues were smoothed over by a more focused plot, but it isn’t a plot I really wanted. I picked this up for a slice-of-life wizard tower, but its turned into a more classic fantasy with an impending doom. Not bad, but not really what I was looking for. The balance for Nemon’s character, a mix of irreverent trickster, harsh teacher, loving father, suffering immortal, and mad researcher, still didn’t work super well for me.

1.5 stars
This book is somewhat better than the first in the series.
The characters are still insufferably smug and not very bright. The magic is still arbitrary. The world is still the most generic of fantasy worlds. And the writing is the epitome of tell, don't show.
But at least this time, there's an actual plot that matters.
Nobody reacts to that plot in any sensible way, but it's there.

Awesome Absolutely
This story of a mage who becomes a wizard and finds out the kings had basically enslaved him and he takes off to make his own way and raise his own wizards tower. Where he settles is on the fringes of the kingdom and he soon finds that there is a bigger problem. Excellent Series

Well written
Enjoyed the book, it was well written and fun to read. The first person narrative was well conceived constructed and executed , this is not something I've seen done properly before. Normally it devolves into and then I did this and then I did that. Such is not the case. Again well done.

A good story.
This story was entertaining and I enjoyed how the author let us see more into how the world is built. The MC continues to be entertaining and funny about his obsession with couches.

Another interesting book seeing the world through the eyes of someone who has a different concept of time. Satisfying progression.

Fun Read
The main character is aloof, and entertaining in his priorities. It makes for a fun read, excellent world building and magic system.

Good
Fun continuation of the series. Plots thicken and come to a head. The wizard continues to entertain greatly. Highly recommend.

I don't recommend. The main character doesn't grow or change, there are glaring plot holes and inconsistencies, and the world makes zero sense.

And already here the series starts to fall apart. Apparently nobody ever bothered to check what was over the western mountains, despite being super easy to do, even for a low level mage. Nor do they even question how long the state across the mountains has been that way, but just assumes it is for some reason recent and starts preparing as if. Nobody exploring, nobody thinking..
One point in the book the author inserts his "pro-life" opions in a weird setting with characters that never come up again, just to laugh at the notion of abortions.
Somehow somebody who is 480 years old will die soon if she belongs to a race that "lives to they are 500".. If those 500 that is anything like human average age, they would have more like a couple of centuries more to live..
And finally the special Wizards Tea from the first book is retconned to something everybody has and everybody drinks now. Why was it even relevant in the first book, if it was distributed by the kingdom everywhere?

This story's about a grumpy old man Nemon Fargus a half elf, who intended to retire from it all. From his life as a teacher, mentor, benefactor, and an adventurer! His goal is to find an outta the way Tower and continue his own studies and experimentation. But, alas life keeps getting in his way! So he finds himself torn from being grumpy to nurturing... And you can't help but like Nemon Fargus. And yes, there's still monster waves to stop!
You're definitely gonna want to add this unique book to your library. Although the action takes the back seat. The book is smartly written and really interesting! As Nemon Fargus faces down a war in order to be prepare for a pestilence that he's not sure that even he can stop. Even with all his over powered glory.
The book was narrated by Soundbooth Theater and they're wonderful giving the book a full cast feel even though it's only done by three people Justin Thomas James James, Jeff Hays, and Andrea Parsneau.
