Instead of Dominion, this should be called “The Book of many many problems”. I mean, all previous books have our characters face problems and challenges, both in the real world and AO, but man, this one takes the crown. I don't want to spoil anything that happens, only poor Jason, I'd say.
But yeah, this book is longer than the previous ones in the series, which after reading it makes sense and is practically unavoidable (and it's much better than Eliza's Sidequest), but you get through it as fast as the others, because it just has some very fast paced chapters, where many things happen at the same time, it just keeps you hooked.
On the other hand, there's some small parts which are too slow paced, and where I wished there's was either more information, more things to consider, or that it was faster. It's just a few parts where I found it bit more boring.
Then there's also some parts (as for example a specific “thorny” fight, which I wished had been more descriptive and exciting. It felt like some elements around the fight and some of the other characters hadn't been thought through completely by the author. As if he had forgotten about a character and needed to get him/her back into the story quickly, but in a way that would kinda make sense.
So in general I really liked it, following the style of the previous entries of the saga. But from what I describe above, I have to discount one star.
Now, on to Franks side quest! And then either AO5 if it's out or the Fire Deity's Avatar... We'll see!
