About this listen
A new chapter in the Limitless Lands saga begins.
Vaguely remembering the accident that might have killed him, retired Navy captain Craig Larson is offered a chance at a new life. Choosing the body of a half-man, half-serpent creature called a naga, Larson must fight to secure a place for himself in this new world. Soon, he finds himself in a fight against pirates, thieves, and terrors of the deep, all of which seek to end his new life before it truly begins.
But Larson is not easily deterred. He will call upon a loyal crew and decades of knowledge from his previous life, standing ready with steel and spell to cut down all who oppose him as he seeks to conquer the Limitless Seas.

Overall, it is great to return to the world of the limitless lands with a new cast and new setting, now there is just the issue of waiting for book two to arrive.

This is the second "series" in limitless lands, and while it can be read on it's own, I would suggest reading series 1 first(and it's awesome, so no loss there).
The book follows a somewhat similar origin as the first series, and is somewhat slow to start, but well done as a whole.
This is set in a aquatic/boat setting and follows that idea quite nicely, with some minor "base building" as the boat gets improved.
Audio by Jack voraces was great as usual.
A great addition to the limitless lands world!

Unfortunately, I'd argue that this is a very softcore LitRPG. The interactions between our main character and the system is often limited, and the way the story is told, often feels odd and forced. Larsson describes himself this problem perfectly: "He had almost forgotten this aspect of his life", where he refers to the game system. The story therefore takes on more of the genre of a pirate fantasy novel. This quote was taken half way through the book. The story of the book unfolding slowly - really slowly, which makes you as a reader go: "Why do I even care for this person? Why am I interrested in following his story?" 🤔
Another thing you keep asking yourself is: When will Larsson meet other players? Is this person a player or an NPC? Theres no differentiation between the two for a long while, leaving you asking once again; is this really a LitRPG?
Jack Voraces voices the characters and does a decent job in switching between the different set of characters available. One thing that again confuses me more, than it adds to the story, is the wide - and I do mean wide- range of accents. Jamacian, Texan, Piratey, e.g.. The list goes on. Even close family members of the main characters dont share a familiar accent. This breaks immersion at several points, until you get used to the incredibly wide mix of accents. I might be biased from playing WoW, but I'd argue that Orcs would not talk with that heavy a Jamaican accent.
Overall, a decent story, but not amazing.
Slow progressing with a decent story to share
