Publisher's Summary

The manhunt has officially begun.

Now the target of a game-wide Holy War, Ned is forced to flee the Onyx Sands.

The odds are stacked against him; Tyrann has tens of thousands of followers, a religion that’s spreading like wildfire, and a powerful god that will be stepping into the world of EBO in a matter of days.

Meanwhile, Ned’s allies are a squirrel-exploding bard, a repurposed home security system who takes her instructions far too literally, and a wildly unreliable talking axe named Frank.

But even as the inevitable conflict draws closer, change is coming to EBO. An old power is stirring, bringing with it strange new enemies, fearsome challenges, and rewards that every player will be vying to obtain.

There will be blood.

Not enough for Frank, but a very substantial amount.

Great world building, unbeatable protagonist

I had my criticisms of the first book but I came back to the second book in the series because I really really like the world he’s building, the mechanics, the flavor, I like what he’s adding to the litrpg genre.
The main protagonist wears a lot of plot armor, but you want him to win so it doesn’t hurt the overall story.
Kyle is clearly a newer writer (don’t take that as an insult) but there have been notable improvements in his writing since the first book.
I’m upset that book 3 isn’t out yet. Get on it, because the ending has set up for some interesting changes and challenges.

One of the best series yet.

The ripple system is easily in my top 5 book series while remaining completely unique. The game world blends with the setting and characters seamlessly so that it all falls into the background of both great characters and story. Looking forwards to book 3.

Black sand baron doesnt disappoint

picking up where book 1 left off, Master Baldree proceeds to regale the listener with book 2. The adventures of Frank the talking axe and his sidekick Ned ;) Strongly recommend

First LitRPG

I've never really been into these, but I did enjoy this, I read the first one, listened to this. My only real issue is his permanent companion. I don't mind him in small doses, but when they get into a several page conversation, it quickly gets old, fast and I find myself stopping the book. He's so god damned annoying. I get that's the point, but there should be a limit.

If you don't like mascots; don't get it.
