Leylia’s secret could unite them all or lead them to an eternity of undeath.
After the loss of Bastion, everyone who’s not a zombie has holed up in FFO’s sole remaining safe haven: the lowbie town of Windy Lake. But the undead armies never rest, and it’s only a matter of time before the Once King’s forces come to crush what’s left of life in this world.
But Tina, James, and the rest of the players are facing a crisis of their own. After so long in this world, their human bodies are dying on the other side. If they don’t find a way home soon, they may have nothing to go back to.
With time running out in two worlds, Tina and James face a horrible choice: do they spend their final days looking for a way to get back to their old bodies, or join the NPCs to fight for their new ones. But just when things look impossible, James learns a secret that might change everything. Only one catch: to pull it off, they’re going to have to fight one raid boss no one, not even Tina, has ever beaten.
The Once King.

The finish line
I liked that the book was well crafted. I do wish to point out that the story ends at around 89% on the eBook, lest readers get surprised by the pacing. The storytelling was good. This book felt a bit simpler than the previous two. Many loose ends are tied up here. There are some very good battle sequences. The narrative largely alternates between Tina and James. Some story elements and reveals have some good emotional punch. I found the ending to this story satisfying and enjoyed the nice little bit of after everything else at the end. I wasn't blown away by awesomeness, but I was content when finished.
Score: 8.7 out of 10
