Summary
New enemies. Reluctant allies. A world on fire.
Jason has barely had a chance to catch his breath since Westley's interview and the break-in at Cerillion Entertainment headquarters. And yet the world keeps spinning....
A new threat has emerged, but this one is coming from inside Awaken Online. An unknown guild has somehow managed to threaten the game world. Yet, unlike Jason's former battles, his enemies are unclear—hidden in the shadows and hiring others to do their dirty work, including the infamous Death and Taxes. Without a clear enemy or way to stop this threat, Jason is forced to do something he never thought he would...ask for help.
Perhaps the united might of the avatars may be enough to subdue this new threat. Assuming they can overcome their issues and learn to fight together, they may be able to save AO.
And if not...they'll have front row seats to the end of the world.

Simply awesome. I can't wait for the next book!
I've never been looking forward to the next book more than I have with every book in this series.

Love these books
Love these books but the word grimaced gets used way you much. Still 5 star but that word is overused.

Another Super Installment
I love this series. Travis Bagwell really knows how to keep his audience engaged and excited. All the main characters involved in an exciting and complex plot, some characters are sidelined a bit but once you listen to it yourself you can understand why.

Truly disappointing
Characters spend half the book being idiots simply to extend the plot and then the other half trying to make up lost time. Death and Taxes motivations make no sense in the grand scheme and Gloria continues to be on a blind crusade ignoring any morals in her quest to be the most moral. Then to top it all off the ending is a joke where apparently everything just happens to fall into place at the last moment despite nobody actually working in the last minutes leading up to its climax.

flawed
struggled to finish this.
mostly this revolves around the hackneyed sub plot making all the avatars fight each other.
The puppet master is obvious to all involved and everyone is forced to act out of character and reduce their iq's to room temperature to drive the plot along.
15hrs left and so far I've spent most of it grinding my teeth.
previous books have been enjoyable so I will push on and update this review if my thoughts change.
*update*
not long after I wrote the above the author gave up on the attempts at intrigue and got back into his flow.
the results matched previous installations and the possibilities and hooks of the end chapter and epilogue have left me eager to read the next book.
might want to polish up the scoobydoo level intrigue in any future books.

A confusing pantomime tale
I’ve enjoyed most of the series so far apart from the Flame branch which started slow and seemed to drag on while I waited for more of Jason. Usually, I’ll listen to each book at least 3 times over the first couple of months as there is always more to absorb.
This book didn’t motivate me to listen after the first few chapters, so while I have made it through to the end, I can’t say it was a gripping or even a particularly enjoyable listen and I have no desire for a second run through. It seems to be a clumsy transition into a new arc and the characters just seem to shrug and go along with the flow on a very thin narrative and with only superficial upset along the way. The supporting cast we spent time getting to know are mostly absent, almost forgotten and when they are involved it’s a thin veneer of inclusion.
At this point it’s become a pantomime, character actions are inconsistent and often make little sense, timelines and behaviours are all over the place with powerful Avatars suddenly acting all submissive, balance is non-existent with more plot devices added to patch the gaping holes. Overall, the travellers and game world no longer form a believable narrative.
There’s a shortage of good books in this genre and this was my second favourite series. However, the Flame branch and Armageddon both feel like filler from an author not sure where the story is heading.

Fun, but messy.
Enjoyed it a lot but the plot and characters where a mess. It all felt a little rushed and in need of a good editor.
Generally very fun book but the whole thing did listen like it needed another draft.
