This book had some very intense moments with some specks of predictability. He we follow Frank as he is trying to find his place in the Original Sin team. He eventually makes his way north and finds himself in some harsh lands inhabited by a druidic village. While in this village Frank learns more about his shifting ability and comes to find his very own power. The story, especially the ending, is savage and rather entertaining. However, there were just so many cliches that it was easy to forsee where things were going at times. That is not to say that the story was not good; it did not struggle to keep me interested. Of the entire series this book ranks at about 4th or 5th favorite Awaken Online book. Some of my favorite moments involved Frank finding out the origins of his powers, Frank coming into his true power and horrifying his enemies, and the time Frank spends in real life with his family (I usually loathe his parents and sister, so that’s saying something).
David Stifel reprises his role as narrator and still has it down. There are also some new voices he adds to new characters. This is refreshing as Stifel has an issue with making Jason and Frank sound alike.
