The Explorer: Book Two of the Traveler
Terrik Qual has crossed through the first barrier and learns that having power in Endswood does not mean that he has power in Middleswood. Through the barrier the monsters are meaner, the people are tougher and Terrik has no allies as of yet. If that wasnt enough trouble, as Kaden Ashborn, he finds out that he doesnt even have a family name anymore. When his family was forcefully put into power by a group led by the Pembertons, they were stripped of title and name. Now he is simply Kaden, Prince of Elmley. His secret of having magic is out and now many families have daughters they wish to place next to him. Just when Terrik thought he couldnt take anymore, Asterion the Minotaur, the same monster that destroyed most of Endswood is in the area and looking for him. Terrik remembers back to when he didn't have anyone trying to kill him. Back to when he was a simple smith instead of The Explorer.

good reading time
I have read numerous Whiskey Flowers over several years the adage ‘improvement comes with doing’ is very true. The books definitely continue to improve in mistakes. To be honest even the early books had good characters and storylines that has never been a negative. The grammar and editing have been issue but never so I couldn’t read. There have been a few of the older / several years ago that did pull me out of the reading but could figure / deduce what was intended quickly enough to continue. NO one should complain about price I mean most authors don’t practically give away there efforts ($1)!
I for one completely enjoy all the books but I definitely haven’t read them all because don’t have time. Definitely look forward to more the Traveler and especially the next book of Wizardborn.
Definitely can see I am not alone since the amount of comments is increased for the latest bunch of books for 2022! I follow Whiskey Flowers and check to see when new books are available which I am happy is more frequent then I can read - like Christopher G Nuttall (I wonder if it is more than one person😁 writing under same name due to the volume e-published)!

So unique
So fun. I really enjoyed the first book in the series, interestingly enough I actually received the first book as a PDF from Mr. Flowers when I emailed him to see if he was ok. I hadn’t seen a new book in a while. He took pity on me and sent me 3. How exciting it is to be able to not only buy it but also the sequel. As Mr. Flowers will tell you the books he writes are The kind to help you forget about your troubles. As someone with Cancer I am totally addicted to his books and am a total re reader.

Hanging . . .
It’s fun to read this book. With all the actions and adventures going on, it seemed like it’s not enough. And just like Whiskey Flowers’ fashion way of writing, it has no definite end to the story which leaves you hanging.
The author has a lot of ideas going on in one book which sometimes sidelined the plot of the story. It has a lot of confusing twist and turns and needs major editing so badly. But in spite of all that, I would still recommend this book/series for those who loves to be entertained and escape to a world of fantasy and adventure.

Another Excellent Read!
I am never really sure what to write in these reviews, I mean no one really cares about my personal opinion, or at least they shouldn't. I really like Whiskey Flower's books. The main characters can be quite complicated emotionally as most have gone through some tragedy or have been ostracized in one way or another. In this particular series the main character seems to be quite intelligent and crafty while still being an overall good individual, I do hope that there is a third book and that he remains that same overall good character.

Ok
It's an ok book, something to pass the time while waiting on your favorite author to get her or his book written and out there. I like the concept, but the thing is the story gets hung up on romance or the man goes gaga over a girl or some crap
We don't need that in the story, just get on with the adventure no need to add romance or flings or whatever. I just want to read about the adventure, if I wanted sex and romance, I'd have gotten a book on that from the women authors.

Love Whiskey!!!
Few typos but I'm okay with that. You know what I love about this author, she is all over the map in the fantasy genre. Super heroes, sword and sorcery, vampires, you name it. Another thing is that she drops six books at a time. Takes up a whole weekend of sci-fi/fantasy delight.

A most unusual story
I was ready for the usual adventure tale with maybe a little twist. What I found was a story full of twists.
I liked the innocent honor of the hero. The villains of the story are a modge podge of dark characteristics common in all of us.
I would enjoy reading more about this character and his friends and family.

Entertaining Read
Kaden's dual lives allow him to benefit form training and power from both worlds. He has plans in both lives. It is hilarious when bullies underestimate him only to find out he is more capable than they are. I like the action, humor, and romance. I look forward to another book.

Good story.
The plot is different with the MC living lives in 2 different worlds. I like the development of the characters and the story. Can’t wait to see what the next book will be like

super flawed but enjoyable
I enjoyed this book a lot, but it had pretty glaring issues that the author keeps glossing over, that being said I can’t wait for the next one in the series.

The end comes before your ready
A book that uses the first person point of view allows you to become so involved with the story that you can forget all your stress for a little while. This writer does it extremely well.

the explorer book 2
I liked the book. Lots of action with characters that were developed into believable people. Only draw back is is style of writing does not vary much. Still fun read.

Really good
A great follow up to the first book and follows on where that left of. The story floors and keeps you engaged. Hopefully this tale will continue soon. Enjoy

Kudos again....
Another perfect escapist novel. Love it when the a-holes get one-upped and the good people get rewarded for their efforts.
Tarik/Kaden are the perfect hero.

Book Two is good if not better than the First Book
I really like the Kaden/Terrik character, he is so real and how he stays nice and sane being around mean people is a hoot. 😀

great storytelling
Whiskey may not be to everyone’s taste but all his books get me ‘going’ .
I get so caught up that the odd grammar issue doesn’t matter

Whiskey is good.
His writing is easy fun reading. He has characters that are easy to like and fun to hate. I'll keep reading his books.

Still going strong
Storyline continues to be interesting . I'm getting extremely tired of paige. I'm also wondering why the Crown hasn't just stepped down.

solid sequel
It was a good sequel. Better than the first. Editing was good. Not much character development but tons of world building. I hope there will be a book 3
