Acerca de esta escucha
Injecting the blood of an alien god can give you amazing powers…
If you live.
I thought I could trust my allies. I was wrong. Now we all have to pay the price.
A new, seemingly impossible quest from the Oracle has seared itself into my brain. Enemies are watching our every move. NIX is experimenting on my brother. And my new power is eating me alive.
Literally.
What is NIX planning? Can I keep my condition a secret long enough to get us out of here?
Is the genocidal, half-crazed alien imprisoned below our only hope of salvation? And if so, can we manage to free him…without getting ourselves killed?
Gods of Rust and Ruin is the second book in a dark and deliciously violent adventure series that combines science fiction and LitRPG elements. You'll love this book because of the electrifying action, flawed characters, and kick-ass heroine.
Get it now.
©2017 Azalea Ellis (P)2024 Seladore PublishingThat being said, I was surprised by the first book in that it shed many of the LitRPG tropes while adding a new thought process in. This one broadened the scope from the first and addressed some of my personal concerns (small world complex).
The story took a few turns I definitely would not have expected and while some of the path was clear. But none of the plot turns are aggressive and unbelievable in the scope of the story. Mixing in some political aspects into the world and some interesting fights and infighting.
Spoilers below:
Eve being sick and looking to self preserve is definitely reasonable, but at no point did it feel like she was truly hurting, just worried. The infighting caused by her lack of reliance on her friends could have been more divisive. I loved the political aspects added in and the inclusion of a "impossible" task with a planned attack and solution instead of a last minute... "oh yeah and this random thing occurred and fixed everything" was very welcome. The team could have had some more time together and more character building on their side but it was decently balanced enough and an ambitious story to fit in the pages given anyways, so that's a minor gripe at most.
In total, a well built story and an entertaining ride

First, this book just felt slower than the first one, and took me longer to get through. It wasn’t quite the same level of “can’t put it down”. I think this may be due to the shift away from action into a more psychological and political sphere, but I feel that both were not completely exploited to their potential. Especially with regards to the politics on the planet, it could be so much more in depth about tactics and manipulation that is involved in the power struggle “game”, but instead it just falls flat and sometimes the actions of characters don’t truly make sense.
Additionally, while in the first book Eve was mostly just a standard person thrust into a bad situation, in this book it takes a definite turn to the cliche. She’s not ordinary anymore but a special/chosen person, and rather than just saving her team, she’s suddenly responsible for so much more. I find these tropes overused in fiction and frankly boring. Not every character in a dystopia needs to suddenly become a huge hero that causes radical change; it’s unrealistic. Additionally, I feel like the characters became flat and lost some of the interactions and traits that made them seem real. They became a little more flat and one dimensional.
The narrator once again did a great job bringing the story to life, no complaints there!
Overall I’ll keep reading because I want to see how the story ends, but I felt this book wasn’t as good as the first.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
