Meh

Not up to the caliber of it's predecessor by a long shot. Choices didn't seem relevant, no way to improve/ alter stat at all, etc... "severely wounded" in every fight without real chance to fight. Ending made any position you held irrelevant.

Meh

Not that great. It was quite a disappointment compared to the first. The story seemed rushed and some of the choices and story didn’t even really make sense. I feel like my hero from the original actually got worse as the story went on. It’s a decent story at best but I don’t feel excited about doing many more plays

Not worth it

This was a very disappointing sequel to the hero of kendricktone and I would not waste my money.

Overall, good.

The writing is good, and I like the plot. HOWEVER, the lack of achievements disturbs me. That’s been a constant for the genre that I miss. Also, there is very little opportunity for leveling up of skills in this one.
NOT SUGGESTED UNLESS YOU HAVE PLAYED KENDRICKSTONE!

Odd

This is the first book I read by Paul Wang that I really wasn't into. The infinity books are truly some of the best choice/hosted games they have to offer, but this just doesn't cut it, not at all. For me, it felt like a completely different author wrote this one. None of the characters are really that intriguing, the language they talk in is juvenile and it doesn't fit the setting at all. It honestly feels like a high school version of Paul Wang wrote this. Also, there was that one weird non-binary thing going on with one of the characters (can't remember the name). What was that all about? It felt so random and there was even a part where your character can ask about their pronouns, and it just felt so out of place. The first book in this series was decent, but this one really drops the ball for me. I'll give it three stars just because Paul wrote it and I really like all his other stuff and I know this doesn't represent his best writing ability.
