Mobs in the Mine

An Unofficial Minetrapped Adventure #2

by Winter Morgan

Lily, Simon, and Michael are still trapped in their Minecraft game, but with new friends and a better understanding of their arch enemy Mr. Anarchy, they’re getting closer to finding a way home. But before they can fight the evil griefer and escape the game, the friends need to replenish their resources—and that means trekking deeper into the Overworld.

When their mining party is attacked and hostile mobs reveal surprising new powers, it looks like the end for the trio—and for all their friends in town. Will Lily, Simon, and Michael find a way to defeat the mobs and save their village? Will they ever conquer Mr. Anarchy and escape from the Overworld?

I found the first book of this series in a free little library and read it last year. My significant other loves Minecraft but I wasn’t a big fan until I read that first book which really inspired me to appreciate the game a lot more. A year later, Minecraft is now the game that helps sooth my stress and anxiety and I found myself curious to seek out and read the rest of the series. I will say one thing, the characters in the book spend less time in a cave fighting cave mobs than the title of this second book suggests and which caught me by surprise. While I removed one star because I wish more time was spent exploring the caves and encountering cave mobs themselves, I still enjoyed reading this light little read and seeing some of the mobs from the game I’ve now come to know and love come to life in the story. A lot happens in the stories even when the book is only 100 pages, just like in a couple hours on the actual Minecraft game, and I can picture the characters going through barrels, and inventory and dropping items to share on missions together just like when playing with others in the game itself. While this second book wasn’t as inspiring to start playing the game as the first one, I still enjoyed it and the memories of the past year of playing the game it called to mind, and this time am looking forward to moving straight to the third book in the series since I bought the boxed set this year!
