The ridiculously talented author Sarah Lin writes another winner with this sequel. A riff on the LitRPG / Wuxia genre, SC2 weaves familiar tropes throughout, while swerving around the cliche potholes lesser authors drive right into.
Writing is good (very good). Characters are believable. Plot balances daily routine, life planning, relationships, lucrima portfolio management… all life’s essentials. Bottom line, Lin is too much fun to not read.
Travis Baldree is the Morgan Freeman of LitRPG. I would listen to him recite the ABCs. Combined with this book: Mmmmmm.
Personally, I hope Sarah Lin gets JK Rowling level successful. Flying around in a lucrim limo, gargling 250K elixir and spitting it out like mouthwash. That stinking rich from these amazing books. She’s earning it.
