Travis Bagwell’s Awaken Online series does a great job with gripping LitRPG story telling, awesome fight scenes, and plenty of surprises and plot twists. He takes it to the next level by dedicating this book to one character, Riley. Riley’s story in the first few books painted her initially as an enigma, someone that hurt the MC very much but we only got snippets of who she was both ingame and out. This book expands on her life, her motivations, and shows her journey from someone who made bad decisions and ultimately as a victim, to someone who refuses to be a victim any longer. Think Jason’s rise to power was cool? Well, wait ’til you see what Riley goes through in AO and becomes in this novel. Very fun, very engaging story. Well done!
