The Hedge Wizard 2: A Progression Fantasy Adventure Kindle Edition

by Alex Maher (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 2,121 ratings
Hump triumphed over the challenges of Bledsbury Dungeon, but it wasn’t without a cost...

Imprinted by the soul of the Wolf Dragon, Hump must master this new power or risk being consumed by it. The soul is a fragile thing, after all, and he fears what part of himself may have been lost...

But with the threat of the Dragon Keeper Trials looming, he must find a way to get stronger. Fast.

In need of further training, Hump and his party seek out a wizard acquaintance of his master. What they find is a town besieged by otherworldly spirits. Locals snatched in the gloom of night, adventurers sent to their aid gone missing, and whispers of a witch luring the creatures to their doorstep.

Hump will need all the newfound strength he can muster if he is to survive and uncover the truth of these spirits.

The price may just be his humanity.

Book 2 of a Progression Fantasy LitRPG/GameLit Series about a working-class wizard out to forge his own path and prove that one does not have to be Chosen to do great deeds.

About the Series: Multiple magic systems, spells stolen from the gods, and an undefined path of progression, The Hedge Wizard brings a realism-focused spin to GameLit / LitRPG. Explore a world of long forgotten legends, where the gods now reign and monsters roam.

    I felt as though this offering took the story in unexpected and thoughtful directions. I liked the complexity shown by the characters. They had nuanced motivations and were weak and vulnerable at times and steadfast at others. A great edition to the genre.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than the first
    Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I enjoyed this story even more than the first book. Alex has a fantastic way of making the complicated and intricate dance of combat and magic easy to follow without losing the nuances. His stories aren’t linear nor simplistic and are extremely compelling reading. The growth in the main character is excellent and I’m hoping that in the next novel he is able to flesh out Lord Robert and Celaine more, their abilities have grown but as characters are in need of some more depth of character. This is not in anyway meant a complaint nor criticism, simply the desire of an invested reader. I couldn’t be happier with the quality of the writing and the exceptional story and intricate mysteries that Alex creates and weaves into this world.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very dark
    Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    The first book was dark. This one was pitch black. I preferred the first book for that reason, I have enough trauma and mental issues in my life, immersing myself in someone else's is a bit too stressful for me to fully enjoy.

    So forewarning: This is not a teenage friendly book, nor it is a mental health friendly book. It IS a good book, but it has some very dark parts too it.

    Politics were a bit more on scene this time, and I view that as a negative. Alot of people may like it, but it's the opposite of what I'm looking for.

    For the reasons above, it receives 4 stars from me.

    On a side note, to the author, and every other author who reads this. Not every fantasy book needs to be a Tolkien adventure. Readers don't always want a world ending threat, sometimes we just want a fun and relaxing story.

    I actually enjoy progression fantasy. When I’m stuck with nothing to read but litrpg I will, but only under duress, it seems so very halfassed. Progressive fantasy is two steps up and this series is near the top.

    I read a lot. Part of that means that I read a lot of junk while I wait for the good stuff to come out. This does not fall into that category. If you like tales of wizards this is for you.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2025

    I read this with whispersync and audible, so my review will include audible stuff.

    Too many times, the author repeated himself from one page to the next or even from one sentence to the next. If not repeating himself in the same sentence! Like “the wall was damaged when something hit the wall.” Not a direct quote, but sentences like that are found throughout the book.

    The narrator is “fine” I guess, but they don’t have distinct voices for different characters, so I sometimes got confused about who was speaking. This is even worse when I can’t tell if it is the MC talking or a female side character.

    All of that having been said, I do enjoy the story and will read the next one. Though I might skip the audiobook for it.

    I truly enjoyed seeing the MC's progression and the fleshing out of the entire supporting cast. This was a gripping read (finished in two days!). The little cliffhanger at the end was perfect. I will definitely pick up book number 3. Moreover, I would encourage anyone to give this series a try.

    The story is progressing nice, the MC makes progress in multiple perspective, his power level of course, but also his world view, his friendships and his perspective about his own goals. He is not longer the small boy at the start from book one but is ready to really take responsibilities.
