Publisher's Summary

The long-awaited sequel to Jake’s Magical Market is finally here—and now with more market!

Well, not quite yet. First, Jake has to survive a perilous trek through time if he ever hopes to return home to his friends, his market, and his former world. The last time we saw our intrepid hero, Jake had barely managed to escape being trapped on a dead version of his own world. Using a combination of his new powers, he threw himself backward through time, back to when the god that trapped him first rose to power. There, Jake snatched divinity from the hands of the ascending god, consuming it for himself without any regard for the consequences of his actions. In a surprise twist, such a poorly thought-out plan came with some serious downsides! Now Jake has a big target painted on his back. The jealous gods of this world are hungry for divine power and not afraid to kill another god to get it. Stuck in the past, Jake must learn to navigate a world full of desperate gods, wild monsters, bizarre powers, and weird “cultivating” mortals who claim they can become just as powerful as the gods themselves—as long as they get to sit around contemplating the mysteries of the universe for a few hundred years first. Join Jake on his next grand adventure as he learns what it means to be a newly ascended divinity, how to survive in such a strange new world, and how he might just have an unexpected edge on everyone and everything that’s out to get him—by learning how to craft his own magical cards!

**Boasting a 4.7-star rating with over 11,000 reviews on Amazon/Audible, this sequel is a must-have for fans of Gamelit novels, wild adventures, and stories about regular people traveling to strange new worlds. Also, stay tuned for the third book in the series, which is gonna be even bigger, crazier, and full of even more magical cards. And it’s coming out in just a couple of months!**

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Love it

I love books with slightly overpowered main characters. This sequel does not disappoint. Becoming a god was a whole new level of litRPG-like levelling.

Great Second Entry to an Amazing Series!

Great follow-up to the first book, which was great in its own right. I'd have to say that this book was a lot tighter and more even than book 1, which is probably a result of the author having released several books in his Portal to Nova Roma series since JMM1.

The big story of this release was the narrator change. Obviously going to anyone else from the venerable Travis Baldree is going to be a risk, and worry fans. However, after taking a few chapters to get used to John Pirhala's narration, I have to say he nailed it. Honestly this blew away even my most optimistic expectations. He puts his own spin on Jake, but it works.

Can't wait for the third book. Especially excited based on the ending of this book and the title of Book 3 (check it out on Goodreads if you don't mind a minor spoiler).

Fantastic 2nd book

Just as good as the first or better. New narrator nails it. I wondered where the author would take it and he didn’t disappoint

Loved it

I’m so into the story! The narrator really bring it to life, listening to the story I can see all the scenes in my head, the narrator talks at a great pace and his voice is what I imagine the real Jake to have.

I’m SO GLAD I took a chance on this

I admit, I was so nervous about the narrator change as Baldree is the literal God of narration, man I have to give a huge props to John, his narration was as seamless a transition as could be possible. So well done. I’m so glad I took a risk on it. The book itself was even better then book 1 which I did not expect. I LOVE the direction the story has taken, I’m dying for book 3.

just as great s first

so I love jakes magical market, when I heard the second was coming out but being voiced by someone else I was a bit disappointed but the author was open and honest about what was going on and why Travis couldn't do the narration I understood, and John was the perfect pick to take over the voice. You receive a perfect score from me! and I believe this is either my first or second rating of a book from my audible library of 400 books! so everyone don't be turned off by the narrator switch give it a chance John was able to keep the emotion and character of Jake for who he was in the first book! now hurry up with the third book already!!

Excellent transition of narrators

This was likely the best transition of narrators I could have hoped for! I’m really enjoying the story so far and I can’t wait for the next book of the series. It is really quite obvious how much the author cares for his story to be told and enjoyed in the best way possible. Thanks to everyone involved for making the unavoidable transition as seamless as can be expected. I’m very happy that the experience of Jake’s magical market is still magical. I can definitely recommend this book to anyone on the fence about continuing the series. It’s great! Very well written and executed.

Brilliant!

Unusually clever and interesting book for this genre.

I have read thousands of fantasy books and this is unique and strangely compelling. I prefer Travis Baldtree as narrator (who doesn't) but I got used to this one with time. The current narrator overacts the narration portion and sounds a little like JAMES T KIRK OVEREMPHASIZING EVERY WORD, but his voice work is actually superb and a little better than Baldtrees.

Took me some time to get used to but well worth it. A great read IMHO.

only took a hot minute until i got used to the switch

i almost didnt continue the series but that would have been a mistake. travis is travis. andrea is andrea. jeff is jef... there are others and they need their own exposure. i appreciated the new characters voicing and the old matching needed and by the end of the book, i just wanted book 3 out now. good job folks.
