Beware of Chicken 2 is another satisfying entry into the series. Since this is slice-of-life fantasy, there isn't a regular plot and the narrative meanders as it switches between characters going about their lives. And there are a LOT more POVs in this second installment, including some from the antagonists. The biggest surprises were Big D and Washee's story lines. I loved how the author worked in a traditional Chinese myth as part of Washee's character growth. Big D's quest for knowledge was heartwarming with the others that he interacted with and helped out. I admit I was getting a bit of book fatigue by the end as it was almost double the audio length than what I'm used to. It ends on a wonderful note and with plenty of interesting things for the characters to explore in the next installment.

Travis Baldree continues to do a great job at narration though, with all the added POV characters, sometimes the voices sound a little more similar. Also, since I'm listening to this on audio, I'm not entirely sure if I have the character names spelled correctly. ( )
