Review of "Jorundyr's Path: Wolf of the North Book 2 (Volume 2)" on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Not as strong as the first book. Pacing was odd in places and there's a bit to much exposition. Overall it's still a good read

I love to read and sometimes write. I'm active on fedi mostly as @tomasino@tilde.zone. I've been using Goodreads for the past bajillion years and will try to transition here. I run cosmic.voyage and a bunch of fun projects like @SolarpunkPrompts@podcast.tomasino.org

This is a fantastic execution of the familiar story of a protagonist growing from chubby useless kid to powerful warrior.

Oh jeez, I finished this book a while back and forgot to rate it. Great read, though not quite as good as the Martian.

I listened to the audiobook. I don't recommend that. I think there's a lot of things about this book that could have been better enjoyed without the style the narrator used in the Audible recording. I think there are a lot of things that wouldn't be fixed even by reading it in print.
The story is generic litRPG fare with an overabundance of farting, vomiting, and homophobia.

April fools joke or not, this book is seriously useful. Even though I will likely never use ed(1) directly on purpose, I'm now comfortable enough to get by. More importantly, I discovered a lot of the underlying logic behind vim's Ex mode, g/re/p, and sed that weren't as intuitive before. Michael's tone and humor kept what could have been a very boring topic wildly engaging. I was sharing snippets with people all throughout my read and even went back to give the regex section a second pass.
If this book has come across your path, do yourself a favor and pick it up. It's worth every penny.
