The second installment of this adventurous fantasy sees Lillith reaching daring new heights—and some dangerous lows.

Lillith has always possessed the ability to feel the grief of the people around her. But now she can harness it and put it to use as well. That said, her recent exploits have labeled her a monster and a villain, specifically "the Mage of Mourning." This title is a nod to both the carnage she leaves in her wake and the tools she implements in the process. But Lillith doesn't need a good reputation. She doesn't even need this life. And she certainly doesn't need to keep her hands free of blood.

Now, despite having helped as many people as possible in Satusmor, giving the common folk there access to basic necessities, Lillith's job is far from done. She's determined to wreak a little havoc in the city of Visenar, but unfortunately, havoc has a lot in store for her. She'll need the help of an intriguing woman named Sarafyna, who has her own powers and complex history—and who interests Lillith in more ways than one . . .

Things get more complicated every day, what with new friends and foes, the unseen Collector, and the mysterious, sacred Radiant Woods. But abolishing slavery, encouraging the widespread use of mana, and ending the monarchy isn't going to happen overnight.

Featuring a brash, brainy heroine who wields magic, kicks ass, and still makes time for romance, the Otherworldly Anarchist series is perfect for fans of female-centric progression fantasy.

The second volume of the hit isekai adventure series—with almost a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!

This is a fantastic captivating storyline, it's brilliant and compelling in its telling.
Full on action, coupled with witty banter, make this an emotional journey of overcoming, surviving and being more.
Making this world a better one is dangerous, but slavery is wrong!
Using magic to control people is another form of abuse!
Excellent narration,a pure joy to listen to.🎶

FANTASTIC. 💯

I enjoyed the first book a lot. It was fun, easy to follow and a great revenge story.

This 2nd entry blows it out of the water. Some great setup, great payoff and a wonderful expansion to the cast of the first book.

Highly recommend. The writing has evolved and the performance is wonderful.

10/10.

One of the best second entries I've read in years.

I have to preface this review with the fact that I really thought the premise was interesting if a little overdone in the first book, however, I can't for the life of me tell if the author is a true anarchist or is trying to point out the flaws of the ideology. The world has been written to make me think the former as it makes the thought process of the MC feel justified, unfortunately after any logical thinking on my part it reinforces the fact that having a government in place is necessary. the actions of the MC while generally written as doing good go about it in the worst way possible, this story feels like a vigilante power trip from the perspective of someone whose ideology feels justified from the eyes of a child. the main character takes action into there own hands without any thought of collecting evidence and making a proper stand using the - albeit bad - legal system already in place and as such is trying to replace one tyrant with themselves, another tyrant. To me this felt like anti-monarchist, anti-democratic slop which could've been fixed by making a normal world with a few flaws rather than a garbled mess of all men are inherently evil and all power structures, other than anarchy, are broken.

Can't tell which side of the agenda is pushed
