I really liked this different dynamic, with Jason being imprisoned and being interviewed, telling the story of how he got to that point, with small interruptions to show the interviewers reaction, up to point where the story and present merge. Because that’s what reading Hellion feels like when you start reading it. I don’t know wheeeeere to start! Well, I could start at the end. If he’s to be painted the villain… well, then it’s long past time he fully embraced that role.Īnd there’ll be no holding back… What did I think? – Opinion Even worse? His opponent is none other than Finn Harris, the ‘father of modern AI.’ The same man that may have been behind Thorn’s attack on the Twilight Throne.Īnd in the wake of recent events – the committee hearing back in the real world and the attack on his people – Jason is no longer content to just react to wallow in the safety of his kingdom. The Avatar of Flame has risen within the depths of the northern desert and has thrown down a digital gauntlet to Jason – with a gate piece hanging in the balance. Which is good, because that brief respite is over.
In that time, the dark city has managed to recover and rebuild – growing the ranks of Original Sin at the same time. Roughly a month has passed in-game since Thorn’s attack on the Twilight Throne.
Jason’s back! And he’s ready for some revenge! We also get our first rumour or hint about the Air Avatar, supposedly called “Smiley”! What’s it about? – Synopsis Jason is back! And so is every character we’ve met in Awaken Online so far, including Finn, but no worries, we see more of Jason! And hell, we’re in for a beast of an adventure, starting with Jason being publicly challenged by Finn, imprisoned in-game, and being interviewed by the CPSC through an independent lawyer because of all the commotion that’s happening outside of Awaken Online.Īwaken Online: Hellion introduces some major alliances, massive (you know, Avengers: Endgame massive!) battles and sieges. You might be anxious to know how the story goes on, and what happens to our favourite necromancer. If, like me, you’ve been reading the Awaken Online books in the order they’ve been released at, you might be a little tired of Finn, and missing Jason. The dark affinity has a very bad reputation many see them as the representation of evil - but they are not worse than other affinities in reality.Awaken Online: Hellion is the eleventh 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. The light affinity, in spite of its name and their look, has absolutely nothing to do with morals - they might however pretend to be morally superior to others, but it is not true.Įxamples of characters with a strong dark affinity: Jason Rhodes Riley Jones There are different types of passion associated with the fire affinity, it isn't all about romantic passions - far from that - it is more about very strong emotions centered around something that one is passionate about for instance, those with a strong fire affinity can become very aggressive when it comes to something related to their passion.įire mages are often seen as cruel, which, although it is not an assumption that can just be applied to the whole fire affinity without nuance, has some truth in it they have a tendency to be brutal and ruthless - this said, they aren't necessarily the morally worse affinity (Alex and his main allies, who are definitely evil, have mostly a very strong light affinity, for example.) As we get to see in the book Retribution, members of the fire guild tend to train a lot through duels.Įxamples of characters with a strong water affinity: Eliza Zhao Vanessa (from Ember) Lamia (from Ember)Įxample of character with a strong earth affinity: Kyyle (from Ember)Įxamples of characters with a strong light affinity: Alex Lane Emma (from Retribution) Caerus (one of Alex's allies) We're not talking about momentary happiness here rather, it means to be generally looking for one's own happiness, which can take various forms.Įxamples of characters with a strong fire affinity: Finn, the protagonist of Ember his coach Brutus Gracien (an ally of Alex, but stronger than him, to Alex's frustration) There are six known magical affinities in the world of Awaken Online, each associated with a particular behavioral trait.Įxample of character with a strong air affinity: Evelyn (Alex's potential girlfriend, presented in Dominion)
