The story moves slowly. After 3 hours it finally got into the main flow of the story, but even then the writing was not immersive and captivating. It wasn’t poorly written at all, but just… meh. The narrator was clear and expressive, but seemed distant or somewhat disengaged. Like other reviewers I’d guess he’d be..

Book 3 delivers action and story telling more closely aligned to the parent Awaken Online series, which is welcome news given book 2 was so slow and drawn out.

I love the action in this story, but the theme is disturbingly dark, especially in the first half of the book. The narrator is okay, but word volume is sometimes off (low).
