Awaken Online: Flame

Tarot Series, Book 2

By: Travis Bagwell

Narrated by: David Stifel

Deadly competition. Deep desert. A dying tyrant.

Finn Harris was declared the Mage Guild's champion.

However, that was only the beginning of the Emir's competition. The next stage will send Finn and his companions deep into the desert north of Lahab in search of a long-lost relic. The magical artifact is said to be held within the Abyss.

Except, this time, he's not just facing novice mages. Everyone in the region seems to be arrayed against him, god and man alike. Racing against the other two champions, swept into the middle of a conflict between the Emir and those he's wronged, and at the mercy of a manipulative fire goddess, Finn must battle his way through the Abyss and claim his prize.

Yet he will not stop, and he cannot afford to fail - not with Rachael's life hanging in the balance.

He will need to embrace his gifts and overcome his past.

Finn will need to become a true prophet of the flame.

Still a amazing book series!

the story is strong, captivating, and makes you feel for the characters. I look forward to the next part of this great story.

Slightly disappointed

I expected this book to be last in series about Finn's adventures. His story arc is interesting, but way to long.

Another thing that bothered me: All that time Finn had a powerup ability, his Thrump card he got from Seer. And he Never. Ever. even mentioned this amazing ability, or explain why he doesn't use it in most dire situations. Like author just forgot about it or something. idn.

Another great Awaken Online title

I really enjoy all the AO books. I wouldn't say it's the best writing in the whole world, they are all kinda just surface level cinematic fun, but that's all that I ask of them. They deliver. I like the idea of journeying with different characters in the same universe. I'll definitely jump onto book 3.

As a sidenote, I would love for the author to start up another character series that has a young, carefree, funny character. Some early teen doing the funny dumb stuff a kid of that age does in a mmorpg, especially if he stumbled onto great power in a game like AO. Kinda like a Shazam scenario but in-game. Maybe he pretends he's much older when he befriends a girl player in her twenties.

I'm hooked on this series

no complaints I been enjoying the series and cannot wait to get the other books

Keep listening…

So I won’t lie the book has a lot of parts that drag. And they really drag. But eventually it picks up and it’s a massive sprint. Super cool, twist. I enjoyed the end of the book a lot. I’m actually excited to listen to the last one.
