A Thousand Li: The Second Expedition

A Thousand Li, Book 4

By: Tao Wong

Narrated by: Travis Baldree

Even the great may fall.

Wu Ying's idle winter, one filled with training and recovery, is thrown awry when his Master and Elder Yang return, injured. The Three Seasons poison fills Master Cheng's veins, slowly killing the powerful Elder. His only hope - a rare antidote. But the ingredients for such an antidote are scarce and located in the deepest wilds.

Together, Wu Ying and Elder Yang take it upon themselves to embark on a Second Expedition to acquire the necessary materials. It would be a dangerous journey through the State of Wei normally, but in the shadows, enemies await to finish the job. Wu Ying is once again pitched against dark forces as a Sect war looms.

The Second Expedition is book 4 of the A Thousand Li series which focuses on immortal cultivation, eastern philosophy, wondrous martial art styles, and spirit beasts. The series draws upon the long tradition of wuxia and xianxia works and will thrill those looking for such high flying fantasy. The Second Expedition is written by Tao Wong, the best-selling scifi and fantasy LitRPG author of the System Apocalypse, the Adventures on Brad and the Hidden Wishes series.

What a ride!!!

I found this series by and enjoy it a lot. I like the slow build up of the MC so there will be more books. Way to go Tao Wong!!

I can't wait for book 4

So this book was pretty darn good only a few small issues, mainly are main character broke up with his Gf off screen, well them splitting is fine it feels lesser having happened off screen.
The beginning of the book has good tension, but then sorta slows not working with that tension however the middle and end of the book are fantastic.
Even with that said this whole book just reminded me of old martial art books i have watched and i love it!

Book 4 - Increased Action, World

Tao Wong’s Book 4 - A Thousand Li: The Second Expedition continued the fantastic story of Wu Ying and others. Stakes certainly have been elevated. New enemies introduced. Fun character interactions. More fighting. Great stuff. DRmz 5-14-24

On a Roll

Another great edition to the series. This series is the best cultivation story out there in the market. It's unique, original and remains true to its roots. It's been fun journeying the thousand li, and I look forward to the next book. Keep them coming!

very good

continuously enjoying the unfolding of this great story i can't wait for the rest of the books

Amazing.

Tao Wong is a genius and this story is amazing read it now you will not regret it.

Loved it

loved every second. mr baldree killed it as per usual. Cannot wait for the next one

Very busy but good

Lots of growth and events occur throughout the story. No complaints in pacing or delivery. A solid story overall.

I recommend the series

I prefer audiobooks as they allow me to do other things while I'm listening to the story. Unfortunately there were some words and names that were hard for me to understand or visualize and so I picked up the e-book. Fortunately I have Kindle unlimited and this series is available under that program from Amazon so I didn't cost me anything in addition to the normal subscription. I will know that I was surprised that the author utilized footnotes and a glossary. it was a pleasant surprise and very helpful. The footnotes or new to me when it comes to fantasy or sci-fi novels and I found this author's footnotes to be not only helpful but at times entertaining in and of themselves. That is a nice touch along with a summary at the beginning of the book of what's happened so far to help refresh the memory. The summary is arguably less useful to me currently as the time that I picked up this Series 6 books are out and available both in ebook and audio formats. The seventh book is slated to be released July 1st 2022 and a book form and I hope that the audio follows soon after. I have enjoyed the story and I do recommend the story. I will admit that I was a little disappointed with the conclusion of the first art but was reminded of the age of our hero and of course with three more books and a seventh one on the way it was by no means the end of the story. This one started out not quite to my liking but it quickly got there and that's why I am going to continue to follow along with the story and the writing is of quality to recommend it to anybody so reading this review.

Amazing

I love how this book is progressing. It is truly starting to gain momentum in the story line and character development I cant wait to get to the next book.
