Torn apart by life, both virtual and real, Mongoose has to gain the trust and support of his teammates in The Steel Hounds by completing a perilous quest — and at the same time, become the very first to master the element of Water in Artar while securing a source of real-life income.
But the road he has chosen turns out to be wild and untraveled, his guildmates are assassinated, his real-life abilities are weakened, and he becomes completely broke…
Trying to find a balance between his own ambitions, The Steel Hounds, and real life, Stan embarks on a dangerous venture, and the stakes have never been higher.

The Black Turtle is the second book in a new LitRPG series, The Artar Chronicles by Vladimir Vasilenko. The story of a free-spirited and daring Mongoose takes a new turn and gets more and more complicated. His bright and cunning mind, coupled with the desire to have it all, put him in a bind, making him face the entire world — with no guarantee to come out on top.
My Opinion: 321 pages, $5.99, Not Available on Kindle Unlimited
A good continuation of the series. There are a few formatting issues with missing paragraph indentations and paragraph spacing, but it probably won’t bother most people. Other than that, if you liked book 1, book 2 is much the same. The story is bookended with monk class stuff and the middle with more adventuring with the guild. There is good martial arts action-adventure, regular RPG progression with increasing powers and stats, and this time there is actually some significant character development with some interesting real world events. Overall, good stuff.
Score:7.4 out of 10
