Publisher's summary

The Beast Realms are under threat: The land, water and air are poisoned. Its leaders are power-crazed and its people are divided. Worse still, strange and powerful Beasts have started dropping from the sky, causing carnage.

With the Beast Realms in turmoil and a ragtag group of insanely strong assassins on Team Venom’s tail, their chances of survival are slim. Escaping through man-eating jungles, seeking allies in underwater and treetop cities, Art and his team need to forge alliances to grow stronger.

As he grows in power, Art is able to unlock more and more secrets of his Gray Knight class. But skill alone will not be enough - to beat the overwhelming odds, he must tap into the unbridled power of the Beasts themselves....

Change is coming and the weak will die out - unless they evolve.

Got predictable towards the end.

The author switches between 2 slightly different writing styles during combat. If he describes an action in detail, you can bet that action is going to fail. After realizing this, the book became very predictable.

Well written

The story line is easy to follow, well written with twists at the right points. Some of the storyline is predictable but others go opposite of what you expect. Not very much of a story outside of the game on this book. overall a good read.

Good continuation from book 1 but...

Compared to book 1, this one came off as the main characters were playing a co-op game. The story was intriguing with quite a few twists but my biggest issue is where are the other players? Book 1 had an excellent combination of npc and pc interaction but it feels like book 2 forgot other players and their actions also exist.

I would rate this a 4.5 overall but audible doesn't let me so I round it up. It wouldn't be a relisten but I will continue with the series when next book comes out

Great sequel

I received a free copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
I am enjoying this series. This book was quite interesting, although not as good as the first. I do look forward to additional books.

excellent addition

evolution brings a refreshing take on the middle half of the series. it's challenges to the main characters are noticable and it provides excellent build up to the last book in the series. very intense moments and overall I loved it.

Beyond Amazing

This book was beyond amazing I really enjoyed Art and Knox’s journey. It made me think back of when they first met, they were kind of like oil and water, but they learn to work together I love the part with arts companion with his healing or salve. I look forward to reading the next book when it comes out.

Learning about the Beast realms

I hadn’t heard about this series of books, but now I’m very interested in listening to book One. There were some parts that perhaps were a bit slow, but I think they were perfectly balanced with the more high speed action segments. I did loose track of some of the character names... but I will be honest I was doing multiple things at the same time as listening to the book. I really can’t get enough now of these books, so I will have to save in my piggy bank for book one and the others to come!!! Hope you keep this level of awesomeness for a story line!!!
It took me sometime to realize that the story is happening in a cyber context, so the fact that the main characters are going about through their own lives while playing the game of the Beast realms would feel odd. But I believe this would be the same thing for any person living 2 lives, one in the real world and the other in a virtual one. Again I think I need to get the first book to have a better context as to everything that happens in Evolution. As such I’m thankful for such a rich story!!!! Never give up!!!!
