8/30/2023 0 Comments Awaken online series in order![]() It just felt a little too convenient and forced. The only issue I think I had with the entire book was the scene where Melissa is introduced. I do hope to see glimpses of them again though, that could be cool. ![]() So hopefully that doesn't happen with these guys. One concern I had the entire time was adding too many characters to the cast and keeping everything straight and not detracting from the main story of Jason. I like the way the author ended the story with them so that it's possible but not necessary for them to make appearances in future installments. I love that there are new characters in this one. Does make me worry about how the entire thing will continue to escalate with Alex though. Granted I'm not sure that it's great to condone assault, but really as far as I'm concerned it's self defense. I'm also glad to see her finally starting to figure herself out and deal with some of her issues. In fact the author comes right out and says he doesn't do that because he assumes you've read his previous works. Some of my other favorite long standing series can get repetitive with the first couple of chapters always being a forced recap of who is the main character, what do they do, and who is the support cast. Which I actually appreciate because I don't tend to go very long between installments anyway. There is too much building on prior events and the author does really no recapping at all. I do agree that so far you really can't appreciate any of the novels as stand alone stories. I love Riley so much so I was definitely looking forward to this side quest. Overall the story was a good addition to the series. About the only thing I didn't enjoy was the group of characters Riley ends up traveling with. I wouldn't be surprised to find a similar version in a future game! The quest itself is quite a mystery for Riley to solve, taking us all over the magic city, and it ends with one heck of a boss battle. The city of mages was such a really cool idea. I continue to enjoy the game world and how much it helps the characters learn to be better versions of themselves while taking a non-traditional path to get there. It was great traveling with Riley for a while, learning more about her character and motivations both in game and out. Grouping up with a new band of adventurers it's not long before they all learn that this quest is a lot more than they bargained for. If nothing else perhaps it will distract her from her own troubles with the girls at school. After receiving a message from Jason that he would be gone for a few days Riley decides now would be the perfect time to follow up on the quest she received when she obtained the strange bow from the dungeon near Peccavi. ![]() The girls at school torment her and she feels powerless to stop them. ![]() Riley thought that after her confrontation with Alex things would get better but they've only gotten worse. The story is told entirely from Riley's point of view and occurs in the few days time between books two and three while Jason is dealing with some real world problems. Overall I remembered this series having a very solid magic system and world that I was interested in and I can say for a surety I want to know more and can't wait to dive into the new book.Īwaken Online: Retribution is a Side Quest (novella) in the Awaken Online series by Travis Bagwell. I'm looking forward to reading book 3 now and seeing how the "evil" faction continues its spread dealing with the "righteous" big bad, especially with the new powers gained in this story. It was super cool to see parts of the world that otherwise would not have been explored as well as how different factions interact with each other in the book. This told the short story of the main dude's (in all but facts anime-style) love interest and how the world progresses without the main character as the focus. I didn't remember too much of the overall plot details from books one and two however I still was able to recall enough of the plot and it's systems to fully understand what was going on. A fun shorter side story from the supporting cast.
