About this listen

After her apprenticeship was done and a place in the guild of villains secured, Tori's life was supposed to get simpler. Unfortunately, a poorly timed errand sees Tori caught in the debut of a new team of capes, one wearing an all-too-familiar name.

Thrust into the spotlight, Tori will have to navigate her unwanted fame as well as the suspiciously superheroic new neighbors down the hall, all while keeping up with her own villainous enterprises. With the guild no longer a secret, Hephaestus needs to grow as strong as possible to face her mounting threats.

Ambitious gangs, battling against mechanized traps, and brawling with capes are only the beginning. Behind the scenes, a hidden enemy works to settle an old score, one that has burned for decades. This secret scheme will not only endanger Tori, her friends, and the guild, but the very world itself.

Pacing was a little odd on this one but yet still managed to be better than the first one. This is probably thanks to the lore unlocks that this one unveils while also being an interesting story.

even better than the first one

The character and world building is impeccable, new characters and twists and turns, learning new tit bits. I simply can’t wait for the next book and hopefully I don’t have to wait a few years

Amazing

Love the story and characters.
Drew is able to write the complicated feelings that come from being human, even a superpowered one. There is all the key characters experience good growth and the listener is able to explore their world of views as well.

Performance is fantastic. The characters voices have not changed from the previous book which is always a bonus.

Drew delivers again

Amy Landon continues her excellent performance in this second installment of the Villan's code series.
If you liked the first book, this is all that and more. Once Tori escaped the sword of damocles hanging over her in the first book, the world is her oyster in this next.
It's easy to fall into the classical idea of Heroes = Good, Villans = Bad when approaching such stories, but I like how Drew has fleshed out the idea that Villans have their own personal lives with decisions, challanges etc and they aren't just evil for the sake of evil.
With that said, LoadStar, the cream of the crop as far as heroes is by far the highlight of this book and how she connects with the villans to try and win them over rather than just condem them.
I'm very much looking forward to the next installment, I hope Drew doesn't stop at 3 for this series.

Villans Make Super Hereos Redundant

The true villain made the Guild of Villains look like a scout troupe. The insight into the heroes and their backstories was both fascinating and heartbreaking. And the overall story was so gripping that I would like to invoice the author for the several hours of sleep I lost when listening to the story instead of going to bed like a sensible human. 😂 Well-deserved 5-star rating, accompanied by the fervent hope that more tales from this series will be forthcoming!

A brilliant second instalment of this series
