About this listen

Outlasting the Apocalypse was only the beginning....

Ryan’s week of digital mayhem succeeded in he and Sasha bringing Headshot to its knees, crippling the game, and ruining the highly anticipated launch.

But Deep Dive is now aware of his interference and will stop at nothing to end his involvement once and for all. They’ve sent in super soldiers with rule-breaking privileges, and Ryan’s locked in the post-apocalyptic world until they extract him by force.

Ensnared in the game’s code, his only hope is that he’s now attached to Sasha’s new Headshot character. Even though she won’t be able to see or hear him, he’ll have to save them both as she scours Headshot’s burnt-out world in search of a way to save her father’s legacy.

Don't miss the second book in a thrilling post-apocalyptic litRPG series. It's perfect for fans of L. M. Kerr, Tao Wong, and Ryan DeBruyn.

Narrated by the award-winning Vikas Adam (Divine Dungeon series).

Compared to the first book in this trilogy this was a huge disappointment. Too much introspection, too much stating the obvious, too predictable. Enormous parts of this book told us all about what is going on inside sasha’s head and how smart she is, then she goes and does something stupid and you wonder about everything that went before. it’s a contradiction and not worth the credit or the money. Performance? Well, it’s a bit melodramatic and the female voices he tries to put of for female characters come over a Whitney and pretty much all the same. I don’t think I’ll be bothering with the third part of the set.

Not a patch on bk1

I really enjoyed the first book, but unfortunately this second one just didn’t gel with me and I felt it was a little too far fetched.
The last hour really came together for me and was more of what I expected from the first book and I’m really hoping book 3 follows in the same vein.
All in all, 3 is above average and still very much worth a listen.
This is my honest opinion of a free review copy.

A little disappointed. :(

I recieved a review copy of this book. The writing and narration continue to be excellent. Building on the solid foundations of the previous book, the story slowly reveals the secrets of the world.

This isn't as good a book 1 but it's a fine edition to the litrpg saga

Not as good

This is book two of a trilogy and it starts where Book 1 left off. The problem there is that if you haven't read Book 1 you are going to be completely and utterly lost for a very long time as so much relies upon you knowing The Story So Far.

So, does it work as a standalone? If you ignore the fact that there's a massive back story then yes, but it's "just about" rather than "positively". By the time you get to the last hour or so you've kind of got a handle on what might be happening but you really do have to listen.

I enjoyed the last hour - that made a good standalone story. The rest of the Book needs you to work at it. There is a Book 3; needless to say this one ends on a cliff-hanger and it's probably best if you read Book 3 straight after this one.

Hard work

Wow, what a difference. No spoilers, but this picks up immediately after book 1 AND it finishes om a cliff hanger.
Ryan has an extremely unusual day, and we learn a great deal about the game and Deep Dive Studios.
Definitely a good sequel, better than good actually.
I know how I would like the trilogy to end, but will it?

Very different to book #1

The narrator had done another fantastic job. The story is progressing well and it has left me wanting to listen to book 3 straight away.

Another great listen

Two in the Head, is quite honestly, just disapointing. Im currently sitting at around the 4 hours mark and I just dont think Im going to continue.

The first book in the series, One in the Gut, took me by suprise. I have previously had no want to listen/read anything LitRPG related, but its frantic pace, and suprisingly honest and venemous lead charactor actually made it a lot of fun. Did it have its flaws? yes, but it still earnt a solid 4/5.

Two in the Head is boring in comparision. All the momentium previously built up by the first book is gone, and Im not exaggerating when I say the first 4 hours of this book are spent in an existential limbo (Inception levels of a book, about a game, played from someones perspective, but its actually another charactors perspective....), and not a lot happens. Almost half the book has gone by, and its going at a snails pace. What happened to the edge of your seat furosity of One in the Gut?

There may be a good story there, but its too much of a slog to find it. 5 stars however go to Vikas Adam for once again perfectly narrating the life of an obsessive misanthrope, but thats really the only good part of the book

Avoid

A Slog Thats loses One in The Guts Charm
