Let’s talk about Frank! It’s about time don’t you think? So Unity is all about him. It is the third side quest, and focuses on Frank, best friend and left hand of Jason. And as to Alexion.Awaken Online: Unity is the seventh instalment (based on publication order) in the epic LitRPG saga written by Travis Bagwell that revolves around a fictional Virtual Reality MMORPG named Awaken Online.
I hope Julia gets her own side quest, as her perspective was one I really wanted more. Eliza, Frank and Riley all mature as characters as they level up. their to-and-fro makes for a big chunk of the book. Now I’ll admit I wasn’t a fan of Finn in Tarot, but here he comes into his own as a strategist equal to Jason. The events are tied in with a grand finale…that will likely make the out-game events as highly anticipated as in-game events going into next book (not that it wasn’t the case now, but even more!) If Travis had a habit of pulling rabbit out of his hat, he’s likely to have enough for a rabbit farm now. I was hooked as the plot twists and turns come across as Jason and Finn counter-move against each other. What is interesting is that Travis has meshed the out-game current events with in-game flashbacks so deftly that the time shift is zero making this into a seamless story. The writing structure was different too as we get to see Jason in a new situation and near half the book is told as a flashback. Sure was a page turner and hard to put down. One thing lead to another and we are treated to high octane, action packed game of chess as the avatars Jason, Finn, Eliza, Alexion and their lieutenants strategize and counter-strategize against each other.Īfter about 30% in, the pace picks up and stays frenetic all the way to the end. And this one is probably a dooze, king of nutcases. And we all know next…time for Jason to come up with a nutcase of a plan. they realize things could start off as impossible and still get bleaker. The book initially takes a bit of time to set the scene as our favorite gang of sinners embark of a impossible quest. We get a slight recap of events to help those who might not have read all/some of the earlier books. The book starts off where events in Dominion/Unity/Inferno ended. The initial foreword by the author was incredibly helpful and summarizes key events and timelines and refreshed my memory greatly. Absolute blitzkrieg of a read! Epic’est of the epic battles till now and takes to plot to another level of murkiness leaving you with anticipation (and probably screaming for more!) Starts off a bit slow but then we get to the main event sometime quick and after that, it’s just a breakneck race against time to the finish.

The series has probably my all time favorite covers!ĭamn good book. Just take some references at face value and push through and soon we’ll get to current narrative and leave history behind.įirst of all, what a cover! Finding Alfred took me a moment. It certainly would help if you have read them all and knew the backstories….but it’s not really mandatory.
Note: This book ties in events of all previous main books and side quests (esp, Tarot and Unity though has minor references to all previous books and side quests) and events in earlier books are referenced in initial 25-30% of the book.
