Sophia, Doc, and Morning Assassin make their way into Polynya, Book Two of Fantasy Online. I know the crew quite well from Cooper's Feedback Loop series. Thus, it is fun to see the Proxima Galaxy (PG) all come together.
Plus, Oric and Wolf (Last Warrior of Unigaea) join the fun.
As with the majority of Cooper's domain, this story is character-driven, but has plenty of action sprinkled throughout.
In the real world, Ryuk stands up to both his mother and his brother, Kodai, which may lead to some significant trouble. In the PG, Kodai continues to toy with Ryuk and the Mitherfickers. It isn't easy being a gansta...and it is a helluva lot harder being stuck in the Yakuza!
In this installment, the Mitherfickers are coming into their own. They may bicker...constantly, but they have each other's six. As per the norm, there is plenty of pop-culture references (akin to Ready, Player One).
5 of 5 stars. ARC provided by author From the Publisher:
The Mitherfickers are back and ready to bring the fight to the Shinigami.
But before they can do that, they need an audience with the Knights of Non Compos Mentis, the most powerful guild in Tritania. Luckily for them, Ryuk used to be a member of the famed guild, and to get to the guild headquarters, they’ll need to level up and figure out a way into a city heightened tight security.
Along their journey to Polynya, the second floating continent of Tritania, the Mitherfickers are joined by a high elf, whose village is being terrorized by a big bad wolf.
High jinks and violence ensues as they attempt to rid the village of this wolf, the results of which end up opening their guild to new members from a different Proxima world, something Hiccup the goblin isn’t too happy about.
Things heat up after the motley guild adventure through the catacombs beneath the city of Porthos, where they are framed for attempted murder and placed in the Empress’ dungeon. With no way out, one of the Mitherfickers reveals a secret the likes of which will change the guild’s standing in Tritania forever.
In Tokyo, evil Kodai gets a new android and plans his revenge against his younger brother, Ryuk. He also plots his revenge within the online world of Tritania, guiding the new members of the Shinigami as they wreak havoc on the city of Porthos.
Level up, recruit, loot and scoot. Fantasy Online Polynya has all the comedy, mayhem, intrigue, crazy fun characters, and epic world-building you've come to expect from this popular LitRPG series!
