Imprisoned Online: Gaming the System (A LitRPG Adventure Book 1) P.A. Wikoff. While not in my normal wheelhouse of reading I did find this an interesting read. It’s got plenty of adventure and action. It’s a unique story and I liked how different it is to the story world. Characters are complex and well developed. Storyline had a way of drawing me in and I soon found myself not being able to put it down. It’s a well written storyline and I liked the pace. I was pleasantly surprised by the way I like it, not because the author did anything wrong just because it’s not something I’d normally pick up but I’m definitely glad I game it a try and think you should to. I’m giving this story a four star review and recommend it.

Imprisoned Online_ Gaming the System (A LitRPG Adventure Book 1) by P.A. Wikoff is an original sci-fi fantasy story that is set in the future. The story is set in a world where virtual reality and video games are the norm for all and a way of life and not many venture outside. The story is intriguing and unique and is very vivid in descriptions of the writer which helps you better understand the world and the characters.
Seph seems to be the odd one out in that he plays games but they are not the be all end all that it is for the rest of the world. When he suddenly finds himself in cyber jail he has to pretty quickly learn how to play or his life could become forfeit. Navigating this new world is an adventure fraught with lots of drama and action, twists and danger.
If you like online gaming and even if you don’t you will love this book.

I give Imprisoned Online_ Gaming the System (A LitRPG Adventure Book 1) by P.A. Wikoff, 4 stars.
Seph lives in a world where virtual reality is the new reality. No one goes outside, preferring to stay plugged in. Why do things the hard way when it’s so easy to do it virtually? But Seph does not believe in this. He yearns for a time way before his lifetime where AI did not rule. One day, he is out doing things his way when everything goes horribly wrong. He is arrested, sentenced and imprisoned for much longer than he thinks he should be. The only way he can earn enough to pay his fine and to make the three years go faster is to plug into a game — something he has refused to do before. But the more he plays, the more he realizes there is so much more than what he ever expected. Will he be able to learn and become good enough? Will this possibly change the way he looks at life?
This is the second LitRPG book I have read and I quite enjoyed it. I liked how the author gave us a choice of starting the beginning to learn the back story, or jump ahead right into things in a further chapter. Seph is a great main character, refusing to just go along with what everyone else does. There are many who can relate to this. But he is also humble enough to quickly realize that he may not know everything when it comes to gaming. The story is fun and feels exactly like what it should be — a video game in book format.
If you are a fan of LitRPG, you will quite enjoy this book. If this genre is new to you but you enjoy video games, I recommend you read this and see what you think.

Imprisoned Online: Gaming the System (A LitRPG Adventure Book 1) by P.A. Wikoff was an out of this world read. I enjoyed the world and the ode to the digital hit me deep. I would give this book a four out of five. As a gamer I enjoyed the details and felt the story resonated. I would never want to be sent to this prison. Seph’s nostalgia was relatable and I loved reading his point of view. It was a completely new read for me.

Wikoff certainly does transport the reader into a very interesting tale, as usual. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found the premise to be fascinating. I knew from reading this author previously that there would be a great story and great detail provided. Thankfully I was not disappointed. Definitely recommended.

Wikoff – Review by Heather Lovelace
“…all the best treasure was hidden in the worst possible pain.”
Remember when 2020 was so far away that we had fantasies about getting info subliminally, clothes that could be changed instantly, and everything is run by AI (who prefer non-binary identies)? Well this story is what our fantasies of the future look like. (Except credit card magnetic stripes are still blown in and rubbed when they don’t work.)
This book is all of that and so much more. The first qtr of the story is the protagonist talking to himself which is how we “see” everything he is doing. The rest of the book is an enjoyable adventure.
This is a LITrpg story. LitRPG is a subgenre of science fiction and fantasy which describes the hero’s adventures within an online computer game. LitRPG books merge traditional book-style narration with elements of a gaming experience, describing various quests, achievements and other events typical of a video game. (Credit: litprg(dot)com)

Imprisoned Online – Gaming the System by P.A. Wikoff is the first book in the LitPRG Adventure Book series. This book was well written and creative and that I loved reading. I loved this authors take on a futuristic society based in online gaming. It was unique and believable and made for an interesting read. I enjoyed the story progression. It felt like the book moved at the perfect pace. I did struggle at times with the main character however I found that after a while Seph did grow on me and I wanted to know what was going to happen. Overall this was a great book and one I would recommend reading.

Wikoff – Review by Kerry Baker
Imprisoned Online is the first book in the Gaming the System series by P.A. Wikoff. It is a sci-fi, futuristic fantasy story- with adventure, video gaming, role-playing, action, drama, virtual reality, twists, group play- that also has a bit of a dystopian feel to it too. I have read and enjoyed some of Mr. Wikoff’s other books and enjoyed them- and this one seemed quite intriguing-with the whole online gaming and prison synopsis, so I really wanted to find out where the story would lead. It has a bit of a TRON vibe to it, but is definitely an original story with it’s own identity and unique flare. There is plenty of action, danger, and drama as the story unfolds. Seph’s world is interesting and certainly felt very ‘real’. He isn’t like other members of his society; he hasn’t lost himself in the gaming world- but then finds himself in an online jail- where he will need to learn and adapt very quickly- if he is to have any chance to survive. Player vs player to earn the experience points to ‘progress through the game’. So, will this non-gamer learn the ropes quickly enough? Does he have any chance of progressing through, and surviving this cyber experience? This intriguing story is well worth the read to find out. The story is wonderfully detailed and descriptive- bringing the story and characters to ‘life’. The characters were well developed, interesting, and somewhat quirky. Making this a really fun and engaging read.

Imprisoned Online: Gaming the System by P. A. Wikoff is an adventure story. Witkoff is an online game designer and gamer and this is a story to join the two worlds. For me the online world is a safe haven and I encourage if you have never played an online game to play one. The MMORPG world has interesting rules and can be a safe place to meet someone. In the story, if you commit a crime you go into cyberjail. This cyberjail is the MMORPG world. Seph is sentence to an interest gaming sentence. This is going to be tough seeing that Seph is not a gamer and has no idea what is going on.Will Seph have enough to be able to navigate his new world?

5-Stars
Imprisoned Online: Gaming the System (A LitRPG Adventure Book 1) by P.A. Wikoff was creative fictitious novel. I was extremely impressed with the authors imagination in that he created a fascinating world where online gaming has pretty much taken over. The world has literally become to hazardous to live in but the human race has created devices to allow them to live safely and be able to fully immense themselves in the online world.
The main character was even more fascinating than the world he lived in. He was very different from his family and, as seen at the start of the book, does not really care to be in the online system like the rest of the world. He was definitely fun to follow in this novel and was developed well. I also loved how easily the story seemed to flow and keep my interest. This was an excellent read and I highly recommend it!

The story Imprisoned Online: Gaming the System (A LitRPG Adventure Book 1) by P.A. Wikoff is a fantasy/role-playing book. It is a story that is exciting and intriguing to read. It has action, danger, and wonderful character development. I enjoyed reading about the character of Seph. He is not a gamer however has been sentenced to a virtual correctional facility in which he must play one. Will he be able to survive the game? Read this book to find out. Seph is a character who has to adapt and learn how to play the game that he is in. There are many trials and obstacles that he must overcome. Seph is intelligent and at times stubborn. Two things that will help him on his quest. This story is very detailed, and I felt like I was right there with Seph seeing what he does. It is a fast-paced book that will have you not wanting to put it down until the very end. It is a book I would recommend reading.

This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite yet. One thing I enjoy about this author’s books is how they read like a video game. This book starts out a little slow but once it picked up, it was hard to put down. You feel as if you are part of the game with the other characters. This book is about Seph. He doesn’t spend alot of time playing video games but what will happen when he ends up in online video jail? I highly recommend this book.

Wikoff – Review by Bobbi Wagner
Commit an online crime, go to an online jail. In this MMORPG penal colony, inmates PVP to gain EXP, loot, and most of all…survive.
Seph has been sentenced to play in one of these virtual correctional facilities. Sounds fun right? Maybe for some, but there is no worse punishment for Seph, mostly because he isn’t a gamer. Will he be able to complete his sentence with all the trials and objectives thrown at him? Trapped in a virtual world he cannot escape, Seph now has to step outside of his comfort zone and align himself with the very thing he’s been rebelling against his whole life–the system.
Game designer and avid gamer, P.A. Wikoff wrote this story as a love letter to a lifetime of gaming.
After surviving an almost fatal car accident directly in front of a bookstore, P.A. Wikoff decided not to ignore the sign and proceeded to self-publish his work. Mr. Wikoff kick-started his writing career by releasing the epic fantasy novel “Feylin Lore: Reflections.” When P.A. is not writing, he spends all of his free time with his beautiful wife and two fabulous kids who inspire him every single day.

The Progeny Assassin: A Tarnished Lands Story (Forgotten Woods Book 2) P.A Wikoff 4 out of 5 stars
The Progeny Assassin is the second book of PA Wikoff’s Forgotten Woods series. While I don’t necessarily think you need to read the first book in the series to follow along with this book’s storyline, I enjoyed having read the first book prior. The Progeny Assassin is one of those books that transports you to another time and place until the story is over. The description in PA Wikoff’s writing is impressive, it’s dark and captivating all at once. The characters in this book are as unique and exciting as is the twisting storyline! I’ve always considered myself to be someone that wasn’t a fan of fantasy type reads but as of late I’ve really been exploring the genre more. This book and really the Forgotten Woods series has truly captured my attention. I look forward to reading more from PA Wikoff.

I give The Progeny Assassin: A Tarnished Lands Story (Forgotten Woods Book 2) by P.A. Wikoff, 4 stars.
Lara is so tired of her master. Nothing she ever does is good enough. Sometimes it feels like she just can’t take it any more. But her and her master are the only feathered folks left. Then one day, her master heads out to clean up one of Lara’s “messes”. This is unprecedented. Master never leaves the house. To make matters worse, she doesn’t come back. Lara finally decides to go out and look for her. She is smart and old enough, she can take care of herself. Leaving with only a weapon she created herself, the things her master has taught her, and her wild imagination, she sets out on a journey unlike one she could ever have imagined.
This is a great young adult fantasy book. Although not human, Lara resonates with most teens. They think they are ready for it all, but they really aren’t. Not that they will admit it. The story itself is great. The things met along the way, the things she learns, will enrich her knowledge. And the detail you come to expect in high fantasy is here in spades.
I highly recommend this book. Reading book one is not necessary to understand this one, but I do think it should be read because it is so good.

Four Stars
The Progeny Assassin was n interesting read. The author wrote about Lara finding her true potential. The lies and betrayal felt from many characters. I didn’t enjoy the length of the story. It was a lot to read. With that being said I was intrigued by the main character and how her mind worked. It was pure instincts and a little logic. The characters were well developed. There was too much dialogue in every chapter. It was information overload. I did like the direction the author took there wasn’t some great love to make her see the right path. She is on a journey to find answers and her true self. Reviewed by @gguerrero89

The Progeny Assassin: A Tarnished Lands Story (Forgotten Woods Book 2) by P.A. Wikoff continues the fantasy saga. I was concerned because I read the first book awhile back and was afraid I would be lost. Luckily this book can be read as a standalone because it is a continuation in the same land. The attention to detail is amazing yet again and places you in this nightmare world. Lara is complacent about her life but things soon change. She is fierce and strong. I really enjoyed reading her story. I look forward to reading the next book in this series and learning more about the Tarnished Lands.

The Progeny Assassin: A Tarnished Lands Story (Forgotten Woods Book 2) by P.A. Wikoff is the second book in the series which follows on from the Harrowed Half-Breed. It can be read as a standalone but it will give you more background if you read the first one. P.A’s easy writing paints vivid pictures of the world in which this story is told and of the characters who have not lead an easy life. The eeriness and darkness of the story keeps you intrigued and the pages turning.

This is the second book in the series and I have to admit that I was just as drawn in to this one as I was the first. I quite like the otherworldly tone to the book. The author has quite a unique world and style in which the reader is drawn into the world like you are there as it the drama unfolds.
I really felt drawn to Lara and her character. As the drama unfolds for her I was eager to see what would happen next. The drama unfolds in this world and I was going through all the emotions and drama as Lara went through it. I really like how the author was able to tie this book into the first and I cannot wait to be able to read more from this author and the series.

A great read about growing up. Lara is a reckless and daring young girl. As a feathered folk, she seeks to protect her dying forest from invaders but never takes it seriously. When her master suddenly goes missing, Lara sets out to find her, thinking it will be like one of the great quest narratives she loves to read. But the world is full of surprises and dangers Lara never knew. existed. Can she survive it all and find her master? A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Lara as bold and daring but vulnerable and childlike underneath or the master as the stern mentor figure. I loved the visual detail throughout the novel with the sense of destruction with the burnt out trees and dead grass and ash with memories of what was there like the pink lake or the fresh wind for a sense of loss. And the wonderful magical sense of the mist and the moon later on for Lara as a source of unexpected happiness. I loved the sense of the bildungsroman narrative as we watch Lara grow up and find her way through thinga. This along with the childlike nature of discovery and adventure was beautifully written. I also enjoyed the metanarratives with Lara’s vivid sense of imagination and were poignant in how reality can be harsher. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.

The Progeny Assassin: A Tarnished Lands story by P.A. Wikoff is the second book in the Forgotten Lands series. This book can be read separate to the first although in my opinion you will be missing out. It had been a while since I have read book 1 and I loved jumping back into the Tarnished Lands world. This author has a way of painting a picture so that it is so easy to imagine the characters and what is happening. This particular book is fast paced and intense. It feels like you are taken on a wild journey, right alongside Lara. It is adventurous and exciting and an all round enjoyable read. I would definitely recommend not just this book and series but also this author.

4-stars
The Progeny Assassin: A Tarnished Lands Story by P.A. Wikoff is the second book in the Forgotten Woods series. Though each book can be read as a standalone I would suggest reading Book 1, The Harrowed Half-Breed, first. Just like book 1 this book is incredibly detailed, so detailed in fact that it felt as if I was right beside Lara during her journey of self-discovery.
This storyline is dark, twisted, captivating, entertaining and action-packed. I was captivated from the very beginning until the end.
If you’re looking for a one of a kind fantasy read look no further!

The Progeny Assassin: A Tarnished Lands Story By P.A. Wikoff Rated 3 stars
The story was very hard for me to get Into. There is so much narrative. I struggled to focus on the story. I found myself reading through a haze at times. It does get more exciting about half way. For some reason I really couldn’t get into Lara’s story. I didn’t even realize she is the assassin until she keeps killing. Her Master disappears and Lara goes on a quest for find her. On her way she runs into different feathered folk and humans. Some she likes and others she doesn’t. She learns a few things about herself as the story moves forward. The character Lara actually seemed like a good character. I could see her growth as the story went on. This is the second in the series. I feel it could be read as a stand alone but it might be more enjoyable if read in series order.

Wikoff – Review by Lisa Helmick
I really missed the Tarnished Lands and I am grateful that I went back in P.A. Wikoff’s book The Progeny Assassin: A Tarnished Lands Story. Wikoff does such an amazing job bringing me right into the story like I never left. His characters are a part of my friends in the sense of my book friends. The world that Wikoff builds is very detailed which makes it easy to picture in my mind’s eye. Wikoff’s character Lara is one of favorite characters. Lara is a feathered-folk who is looking for the breeze that once blew through the forest so long ago. It is Lara’s journey that I went on with her to seek out the truth. It has its ups and downs and twists and turns but never a dull minute within the story. This is a quick read so make sure you have all your goodies by you so that you can read it in one sitting.

THE PROGENY ASSASSIN is book two in the “Forgotten Woods” series. While I think it MIGHT be able to be read as a stand-alone, I suggest reading it in order because the writing is amazing.
This is one of those stories that transported me to a place that I never could have imagined. It is so creatively written, that I was able to watch a movie in my head as I was reading. It is also one of those stories that I read really fast and breathlessly, much like the action taking place.
In addition to LOVING this story, I have also learned some new cuss words (“…you gross piece of fundle snop!”).
I recommend this story and this series to young and old alike.

The Progeny Assassin: A Tarnished Lands Story (Forgotten Woods Book 2) By P.A. Wikoff. These books are completely outside of my comfort zone and I’m so glad I took a chance on something new because this author writes a story that’s so vivid you feel a part of the journey the characters are on. From page one you are drawn into the book and trust me you’ll be totally fine being in it until the very end. It’s a bit of a darker read but that won’t stop the enjoyment you get. You can read this as a standalone but I recommend the other book also because it’s really good. The author has a way with the magical land and writes stories you crawl inside of and forget your only reading the story not living it. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it.

Wikoff – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
The Progeny Assassin: A Tarnished Lands Story is the second book in the Forgotten Woods series from PA Wikoff. Now, I have read the first book in the series, The Harrowed Half-Breed, but this isn’t necessarily a requirement to read this one. I do think it set my understanding up better to enjoy this novel much better. In this one we get more of the dark and tarnished lands that we discovered in book one, and I really enjoyed my time with the MC, Lara. I found myself enjoying her even more so in this book than the last. The vividness that Wikoff painted the Lands was just as fantaboulus and detailed that I felt as if I was right there with her 90% of the time and as creepy as that was at times I loved it too. I really don’t want to get into too much of the details of the story and spoil the good parts for you, so for those you will have to scoop up this little read for yourself. While you are at it grab the first one too! You won’t be disappointed that you did! Thanks for another great installment in this series Mr. Wikoff!
