He Who Fights with Monsters 2

How it reads
He Who Fights with Monsters 2 is fantasy (litrpg, specifically), and its dominant mood is adventurous. It's driven by momentum, discovery and getting into trouble. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.
It's set in an invented world, in no single period, told in the third person across several viewpoints. Its central concerns are friendship and power and politics. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It's a later book in a series — you'll usually want to start earlier. The ending resolves happily. At 564 pages it's a real commitment. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.
