Ten Ways to Get Dumped by a Tyrant: Volume II

Today's post is on Ten Ways to Get Dumped by a Tyrant: Volume II by Gwijo Seo. It is 298 pages long and is published by Editio Publishing. The cover has Charlemagne on it looking very imperial. As it is the second volume in the series, you need to have read the first one to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes fantasy stories. The story is mostly told from first person of Scarlett with some scenes from a different character's perspective for plot. There is no mild foul language, no sex, and mild action violence in this novel. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Things are starting to get serious for Scarlett Arman as she helps Charlemagne turn over a new leaf and reconciles with her half-brother, Isar. Now, the only thing on the reformed villainess’ mind is petty revenge on her father, the Duke. But darker forces have other plans for the would-be heroine, and after failing to sacrifice Isar to the demon god, they set their sights on her! Things become especially complicated with the transmigrator being flung into yet another story within a story, locked in a never-ending loop as a new character with an unnervingly similar story to Scarlett’s original timeline. What secrets will be revealed as Scarlett traverses this new fictional world? And can Charlemagne and Isar rescue her from the dark mages who hold her in their clutches? All will be revealed in the second volume of Ten Ways to Get Dumped by a Tyrant!

Review- Scarlett is up to her elbows in trouble in this volume. The villains' now think that she is a problem, she is not dead, Charlemagne acting different, and nothing is going as planned. So they decide to curse her and send her into a book. But of course nothing goes as planned for the bad guys and Scarlett uses her brains to start working the system again. This series is pretty funny and over the top with plot and the twists but I'm having a lot of fun. I look forward to seeing where Scarlett is going next and what trouble she'll cause there. 

I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this novel from my local library.
