This was really cool. While I listened to it without the first one I was still able to follow along and enjoy. I’m sure I missed some things so I highly recommend getting the first book before listening to the second one. I love LITRPG but I must say this is the first one that I listened to that covered the growth and development of a legendary sized epic boss like creature. He would easily be a high level raid class boss or better. It was well written and well narrated. Enjoy. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher
