The Citadel

Mirror World Series, Book 2

By: Alexey Osadchuk

Narrated by: Kyle McCarley

If you're a warrior seeking glorious feats, we need you! The walls of the Maragar Citadel are always in need of heroes!

Or are you a wizard in search of forgotten lore? One visit to our Ancient Library will reveal you many a great mystery!

Or are you an online player craving excitement? Then you'd better hurry! The Maragar Citadel is rife with adventure-choose one to your liking!

Performing deeds of online valor is the last thing on Oleg's mind, though. Neither does he care about any ancient lore. He's never trusted adventure, anyway. Mirror World is no place for the likes of him. Still, he's here to stay - at the demand of Reflex Bank, which has granted him a loan for his daughter's hospital treatment. Which is the only reason he's joined the ranks of the defenders of the Maragar Citadel.

Excellent LitRPG series!

Any additional comments?

This is one of the first LitRPG series I got into and its still one of my favorite. Its got an excellent narrator and the story really pulls you in and has you caring about the character. I always look forward to a new book in the series and will buy them all.

Great story, excellent narration

I'm eager to hear the rest of this adventure. Well done!
The self-narration of the story converts well to audio, and the narrator does a great job.

same same

but different...

I'm starting to be a little confused that he claims to do all this for his daughter and yet not a single scene with her so far...

only half as good as first book.

He worried about hiding his leveling far too much. Nearly every other paragraph was an inner monologue about no can find out how powerful or talented my character is. Plus he never worked for any achievements. All the rewards or benefits literally were handed to him. Where he then ignores them constantly. His lack of any gaming knowledge get insultingly annoying to me as a reader of this genre. Like his brother and every character he befriends tells him... Learn about the world you are in.

story gets better, narattor still anoyingly slow

Any additional comments?

For a second book in a series its good, the story gets better, main character gets more debt. only thing that annoys me is that the narrator is reading a bit slow.

Great

I’m already on book four of the series I definitely recommend them all. The all amazing and the story just keeps getting better.

Great series!

I liked the second book much more than the first so stick it out with the series even if you thought the first book was only ok, it does get much better. Where the first book goes between real life and the game, I really enjoyed this one focusing almost entirely on Mirror World. I am very much looking forward to book 3 and am happy I started this series!

chopped up

My only problem is that it feels like one book split up into several. I found it very enjoyable though.

Great sequel to a great series

great book enjoyed it from beginning to end. the only question to ask now is when will book 3 come out. and will
I still remember and be interested in the book series when the third book is available

Need the next book

this series has got me on edge. hope the story keeps getting better and better as it has so far.
