Timeless

Awaken Online

De: Travis Bagwell

Narrado por: David Stifel

A world in ruins. A bleak future. A last chance at salvation.

The world of Awaken Online has been transformed. Gloria Bastion's attempt to destroy the game world failed, yet she unleashed a power that has brought the former avatars forward in time. And accompanying them are their cities and armies. Creatures, warriors, and mages from a time when the game world was fresh and new...but also more savage and unrelenting.

Our heroes now face a bleak situation. They have nowhere to go, their cities and people are under attack, and they face an army of angry travelers—the very same people who came to watch the end of the game world. Needless to say, things are looking bad....

That is, until a new character emerges. Arcadia Landrey—the earth avatar. Her account has just been unfrozen, and with that comes an opportunity. One she poses to none other than Jason.

Their future might look dire.

But perhaps redemption can be found in the past....

Didn’t like the new avatar

The earth avatar is a bad person and 90% of the book involves her. She has zero redeeming qualities or moments and just ended up frustrating me.

Parts of this book are the best in the series

We finally get to the meet the earth avatar with their ability to time travel to previous save points in the game. Tons of forward plot movement in overall storyline and a satisfying ending. I'm finding any storyline with a large focus on the gods of the game tends to lead to the best scenes and lines. Not really a spoiler, but we finally get a full backstory and understanding of the gods from both an in game and out of game perspective. Well done!

Inconsistent canon

Pros:
Still fun, some good mayhem.
Cons:
Not a Jason story. The focus was on Cady’s POV and it wasn’t enjoyable.
This story seems to create a ton of canon plot holes with previous books that are not explained away by the time travel alteration. Mutiple important changes that really alter the story.
The first 8 hours of the book are idiot plot, arguing, and a refusal to communicate.
It’s a time travel story and not a closed loop, so nothing matters.

Outside world getting interesting.

There is a lot coming to light outside awaken online. I like the twist and can't wait for the next book.

Loved it!

Well damn was that a great installment! Can’t believe that the author went there with the whole time thing but it still work out and made the story worth the credit! Can’t wait for the next story!

Wow!

Ok the time stuff was a little hard to follow at times but the writing and character development continues to get better and better. Can’t wait for the next chapter in the story. Also glad he combined the two stories into one. I think both stories benefited.

Great

Another great chapter to the story. I can’t wait for the next installment. Once I started listening, I didn’t want to stop.

Best one yet

Easily my favorite in the series
love to see all the story finely coming to a head
can't wait to see the path forward

doesn't disappoint!!

was totally worth the wait! twist and turns galore and the ending was both shocking and epic! only question is when is the next coming out!!
