Summary

A side quest adventure in the same world as the best-selling Awaken Online series. This story takes place after the end of Awaken Online: Precipice.

Riley's real-life took a nosedive after her confrontation with Alex. The girls at school torment her and she feels powerless to do anything about it. At the same time, Jason has mysteriously disappeared, sending only a terse cryptic message to Riley and Frank.

With some time on her hands and with her frustration with her real-life reaching a breaking point, Riley decides to strike off on her own in-game. Her goal is to investigate the quest related to the strange bow she discovered in the dungeon north of Peccavi. Yet events quickly spiral out of control as she discovers that the bow's former owner has set her along a path of vengeance - with an entire city hanging in the balance.

Great side line story. Character building......

Another long awaited book. When is the next one out. A little short but still enjoyable.

Perfect narration for this amazing world.

I adore this series! so well put together by the author and it is read amazingly. I adored the first two books and couldn't stop listening..the wait felt so long for retribution but it was so worth it. Seeing the world from a different viewpoint was great and it has made me love Riley more. I hope this isn't the only side quest. I think the amount of referencing to Jason is spot on. It's there enough to know it is the same game, but it is truly Riley's story. Travis Bagwell is definitely a gem of a writer and I am so happy to have stumbled on this nerdy, funny, awesome series. It is most certainly up there with my favourite books right now.

I could not imagine another voice reading out the ao books, the narration fits perfectly. Even when reading the text I hear it in David Stifel's voice 😂. I hope Travis and David collaborate together more and more as it just works. Mr Stifel is also turning into a bit of a favourite too.

All in all..I'm waiting for the next one not so patiently! Luckily I find the books very repeatable ..So I shall go and listen again and enjoy them just as much. Thank you!

Short but Good

Nice to see the AO world growing and to get character progression for Riley. It is a bit short but still an excellent listen

A fabulous edition to the world.

I have hesitated on picking this book up due to it being a "side quest" but I am glad I finally have it a chance. The story further develops the character of Riley and surrounds her with a cast of well defined supporting characters. Brilliant.

enjoyed a lot would recommend

a nice addition to the previous books and a closer look at Riley Who originally I did not like but after this book and the kind of turmoil that she goes through really made me enjoy the way that she growed. you kind of need to have read the first two books to get a sense of the world. overall I liked a lof

An important side story, but..

You get to know Riley better and gives her some much needed personal development, but I can't help being annoyed at times by the main character missing obvious conclusions which makes the story predictable at times. makes me wanna skip ahead 30 sec, but I'm afraid to loose something important. Still good to get more familiar with Riley, and I hope they bring this substance into the third book.

It's a side story

A side story that to me, really did not add much more than a new interesting class and that is about it.

the story was alright it's more interesting about the character development. so I can't give this a full score since it really feels like a tedious yet rewarding side quests. so a 4/5 is all I will give it.

the performance is as always, brilliant.

Absolutely brilliant!

I must admit that I had skipped this book as I just wanted to listen to the main series of books. I did that because some reviews had put me off, and I needed to know what happened after book 2 ended! This is my second time around listening to this series, so I Included this book now, I thoroughly enjoyed it all! DON'T skip this book, it adds so much more to the main series. Riley is a good character and I now know so much more about what she was going through in-game and out. If all the side quest books are this good I was stupid to have skipped them all!
Great narrator as always!

GOOD BOOK

I have over 300 audible titles and I have to say that the narration and performance of this book is one of the best I've heard. It's a compelling universe with a great story and awesome characters
