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.
#Awaken online book 5 series
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?
#Awaken online book 5 plus
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. They will be reforged in the fires of adversity - forced to prove their mettle, even with the odds stacked against them.īecause soon they will face a demon king and his armies.Books like this really irritate me. Along the way, they'll encounter advanced magical technology, new friends and foes, and will be pushed well beyond their limits. Which will send them deep into the heart of an ancient workshop. But before they can lay siege to Lahab, Finn and his companions must first find a way to defend themselves and their fledgling army from the effects of the god relic that Bilel now wields. As the Seer predicted, the guilds and Khamsin have formed a fragile alliance. But not without a cost - including the loss of Finn's left arm and the magical corruption that now plagues his body.ĭespite those handicaps, Finn must keep pressing forward if he is to have any hope of bringing Rachael back. A demon king to kill.įinn and his companions barely escaped their encounter with Bilel.
