#Awaken online book 5 series

Turns out this is no idle threat as the Order's main agent, Thorn, begins a series of attacks on the Twilight Throne that no one is prepared for. The Order has given Jason an ultimatum: turn away from his false god or be destroyed. Jason and his guild mates find themselves threatened by a new enemy calling themselves the Order. It made for an interesting change of pace, one that I questioned at times but enjoyed over all. The story takes a different turn as the author tackles a more complex story line than previous installments. There were no consequences to lying and cheating.Īwaken Online: Dominion is the fourth in the Awaken Online series by Travis Bagwell. Every single main character, had selfish motives and the book seemed to glorify that as if that's how everyone should live. Which is fine, but there was no counter-argument, no sane voice of reason. How dare they attempt to see if the product is safe. The bad people are the parents and the oversight committee. Lying is ok, murder is ok, cheating is ok. Third problem: The moral compass of the main characters all point south. 'His eyes were filled with unholy light.' can only be used so many times. The author really needs to find a thesaurus. The same phrases that had been used for 5 other books, the same problems, the same antagonist, the same solutions. So many times I just wanted to skip to the end of the chapter because I just didn't care.

I am really not going to read anymore in the series for quite some time. I finished it because I couldn't give up on book 6 in a series, but I had so many issues with the book. I don't feel like wasting my time proofreading and editing for comprehensiveness, much like this book. I was just going to write a short blurb without spoilers but everything just kind of spewed out. Done with the rant and done with the series. And the excuse for the loss of it? That's what sent me over the edge.

There's no rhyme, reason, or element of chaos that remotely follows logic or chance for that item to have appeared in that particular village. Then there's the flipping gate piece! The levels of deus ex machina here for Frank and Alex to be involved. The term fatal funnel comes to mind, or should've. Eliza could've single handedly melted forces in the open and if not on the ramparts, then at least when they stood there twiddling their thumbs in the marketplace waiting for undead to make their way through the narrow streets. It's been established that she can be a veritable walking cloud of nuclear fallout, but no, no, please stand there and cast a heal spell-it was noted multiple times that the only role she could have was support-stand back and heal while Jason gets off a meager two rounds of corpse explosions from catapults that he decided to use after the enemy was within range of the archers? That's D&D season 8 GoT levels of battle strategy right there. There's a sore lack of continuity in Frank and Eliza's capabilities, especially Eliza. I found Eliza's side story delightful, and to go from that to this is tragic. The plot devices in this book are senseless and disjointed. I am ready to give up on this series and get a real story that isn't going to make me wait 5 years to get any sort of plot resolution. This is supposed to be a teenager dealing with all of this. So far he has his boss's son trying to torture and ruin him because he is 'broken' (and suffers zero consequences for his actions), a bureaucrat who is trying to ruin the corporation and the MC's life, worries about money, everyone except a male friend (who is being pushed away from him and kept distant) and his aunt (although there are hints foreshadowing she is not all that she seems), media and the bureaucrat are painting him as psychotic to the entire world, he still has to keep up with school work, in game his enemies are always so much stronger, better informed, and better funded than him, he is running a city that keeps getting destroyed, he is running out of people in his kingdom, and then his girlfriend craps on him and solely blames him for not reading her mind and he has to grovel for her forgiveness?

Plus the author indicated at the end of the book he is working on side books in the universe and we have to wait even longer for anything.Īlso, the 'romance' of this book is crappy. This author is really trying to milk this series or long term. From the overall story line, nothing was resolved. Nothing was resolved except an attack which was started in this book.
