I have read almost all of Travis’s awaken online books, and this one has me feeling different from the rest. I get that Finn’s story is about redemption and sacrifice, but at what point is that sacrifice too much? Compared to the other short stories and the main story following Jason, this one is the hardest to digest. In an attempt not to spoil the book, I will say this novel feels a lot like the second Hobbit movie; you could have cut out a lot of this book to get to the primary plot line for Finn and his companions! Overall, the performance and story are great, I just feel a little disappointed by the outcome of this novel and everything that Finn had to do to get to the thin conclusion at the end. I’m really hoping the pacing and story of the third book makes up for this one.
