Awaken Online: Crucible by Travis Bagwell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow.

This one blew me away. I'll just say ignore the somewhat slow beginning because after it revs up, it just doesn't stop until the very end. Massive changes, great LitRPG callouts, additions, subversions, and plot/character inclusions.

But better than that, it's hella smart, emotional, and one GREAT heist with so many pieces.

That's kinda weird to say about some kid that has become the greatest undead boss/enemy of an enormous online world, right? But it's true. And it's super easy to root for him now. He's made so many great friends, and did it the hard way. With honesty.

That's probably the biggest crucible of all. You know, second to the enormous freaking undead stronghold. One or the other. :)

I honestly couldn't stop grinning through a GREAT deal of this novel. That should say everything.
