Review Inheritance
Inheritance: A LitRPG Adventure, the second book in ThinkTwice's Root of All Evil series, is a wild ride. I absolutely devoured it, finding myself completely absorbed in Dollar's precarious situation – waking up in the belly of the beast, literally! The high-stakes action keeps you on the edge of your seat from the very first chapter, as Dollar finds himself trapped beneath the city of his arch-nemesis, surrounded by enemies and desperate to survive. The constant threat, coupled with the exciting prospect of unlocking his family's powerful bloodline, makes for a truly compelling narrative.
One of the things I love most about ThinkTwice's writing is the blend of action, humor, and character development. Dollar's playful personality, even in the face of overwhelming odds, is incredibly endearing. He's not your typical stoic hero; he's witty, resourceful, and often a little bit reckless – and that’s what makes him so much fun to follow. The supporting characters, Mitsy and Bill, also get their moments to shine, adding depth and camaraderie to Dollar's journey. The uni-pig, a truly memorable creature, provides some much-needed lightheartedness amidst the intense battles and strategic planning. The imagery of this unicorn-pig swimming with its fish friends is just delightful!
The LitRPG elements are seamlessly integrated into the story, making the leveling up and crafting aspects engaging without ever feeling like a chore. I appreciated the emphasis on earning money to progress, adding a layer of realism (as realistic as a world with magic and monsters can be!) and strategy to Dollar's quest for power. The world-building, while not overly detailed in this installment, is intriguing enough to leave me wanting more. There's a sense of a larger, complex world unfolding, hinting at further mysteries and adventures to come.
However, the book isn't without its minor flaws. A few inconsistencies, as some reviewers have pointed out, slightly detract from the overall experience. Some plot points felt a bit rushed or contrived, and there are moments where the narrative could benefit from tighter pacing. The repetition of certain epiphanies, as mentioned by one reviewer, is a valid criticism; a little more editorial tightening could have elevated the book even further. Nevertheless, these are relatively minor quibbles in what is otherwise a highly enjoyable read.
Overall, Inheritance is a fantastic addition to the series. The blend of thrilling action, captivating characters, and engaging LitRPG elements makes for an incredibly satisfying reading experience. While I do wish the next book was already out (a common sentiment among readers!), I eagerly anticipate the next chapter in Dollar's adventures. ThinkTwice has created a truly captivating world and a protagonist that's hard not to root for. If you're a fan of LitRPG, isekai, or simply a well-written fantasy adventure, then I highly recommend giving Inheritance a read. You won't be disappointed.
