The threat of dark gods has passed. The forest is safe. The deadlands have stopped expanding.

Now, all Tess really wants is a vacation. Unfortunately for her, fate has other plans.

Quickly discovering that she's in far more danger than she ever knew, Tess will have to train, level up, and protect herself at all costs. So when an unexpected benefactor shows up with an unlikely solution to her problems, how can she refuse?

Follow Tess as she battles monsters, explores new cities, delves into dungeons, and builds up her settlement, all while meeting a strange new cast of characters along the way.

Scions of Sylum is a classic LitRPG novel with character levels, classes, and stats, ideal for existing fans of the genre and newcomers alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well done
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2023

As somebody that reads a lot (hundreds more books a year than I ever thought possible until I discovered Kindle Unlimited), I’ve read some really great stories and some that fell completely flat. The world building in this series is very well done (although a map of where all the cities are in relation to each other would be nice, but certainly not needed). The character development is outstanding. I get tired of reading stories of where the MC starts off overpowered and only continues to become more OP as the story progresses. Seeing that Tess, although slightly more OP than a normal human, has some of the same issues that plague most people is a refreshing change. The story has just the right amount of comedy in it to not make it overly comical, while still relieving some of the tension of the more suspenseful parts of the story. I especially loved how long it took her to pass her class trial, and all the comedic parts that came along with that.

I can’t wait to see what book 3 has in store. Will Cal get back in time to convince her father not to go to war on Tess? Will Hartha be able to control her soul magic enough to save Rock before he dies? So many questions I can’t wait to have answered. Unfortunately, I have to wait a week before I can sign up for Patreon to get the sneak peek into what’s coming next, and I feel as though it’s going to be a painfully long wait for me (patience has never been a virtue for me).

I’m not a big fan of LitRPG, but Scions pulled me in more than other LitRPG I’ve read. I enjoyed the characters, and I didn’t have to go through the endless pages of dungeons, combat, and strife. No teen angst of attending a magic academy and the teen relationships. Bottom line, a well written story IMHO.

4.0 out of 5 stars This one asks some interesting questions of its characters
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2023

For an author I had not known about before this series, I have to admit I find this writer to be one of the more thoughtful creative minds to attempt a LitRPG tale. The main character is a bit too willing to allow things to flow around her and at one point in this book an archmage notes her preference in element often indicates a personality that goes with the flow too much.

Worse there is one character in this book who was in my mind extremely problematic. He abuses a power he has and no one stops him until its obvious that this character is supposed to be the book's boogeyman. He's not a personality, but a deus ex machina force used to instill tension in a overbearing and obvious way. That was my main and really only major complaint about the tale.

The development of the characters was excellent and the overall story is fun and interesting. I do wish there was less jumping between the settlement the main character owns and the city where she's being trained. But it does allow the author to build characters and spin the plot out.

This is a good series so far. I expect lovers of the genre will find this to be a worthy addition to their collection of books.

I hate that one guy! I love her friends! One of her non school teachers is awesome, mainly because he puts hateful guy in his place! Some parts I will admit I skimmed over, but that’s just because I don’t care to get into the nitty gritty details of decision making and in depth descriptions. This was a fun read!

I only bought the series, uh, let me check…10 days ago, and finished both of the currently available books just now, and I’m already itching for the next installment! I can only hope that the next book is just as long, or I’ll finish it FAR to quickly for my liking!

(Psst, for those who already read through the books as well…10 bucks says that Duke and Dex make an appearance in book three)

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are looking for an OP MC
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2023
Verified Purchase
This is not quite the book for you. The MC seems to focus more on experiencing the world than just gaining experience. Is she OP? No. Well above average, and bearing a tiny bit of plot armor, but not immune to danger. Mostly prone to making reasonably good decisions, and aware of the bad decisions she makes (mostly). This is not an action packed, stomp the enemies into paste, daring to one up every unbelievably impossible achievement, absolute slaughter-fest. It is just a story about a girl. A girl who is granted magical powers, but still remains human. Highly recommend this if that sounds appealing to you.

I enjoyed this second instalment in this series. The MC is appealing with a strong supporting cast. A fun storyline with lots of scope to develop. Well worth reading.

If you enjoyed book one, this is a great sequel. Perhaps a bit more slice of life than the original, with a classic 'school arc' - but handled very well. Definitely recommend.
