Book 1 was okay. It was interesting enough plot-wise to try book 2. I almost wonder if a draft was uploaded rather than a final copy (I read a digital copy on Kindle Unlimited). There seemed to be plot holes, the pacing was off, the characters feel different from book 1 (but not due to growth), and there were so many simple mistakes that could have been fixed with editing. For example, in book 1 the MMC introduces himself as Branok Thorn but says everyone calls him Thorn. Later in book 1 he mentions wishing the FMC would call him by his first name and not Thorn. In Book 2 he introduces himself as Thorn Brannok, first and last names switched and spelled differently. 

YIKES.
