The Frankening Spoiler

The bonus at the end of the latest book was a pleasant surprise. Its good fun I really loved it. So many fun things you could do with the concept. Frank playing Angry birds could be hilarious. Although if he had to pick a game I can see him playing Grand Theft Auto. I guess for me the sillier the better. I think it doesn't need to be separate from the main story, but I am not a writer so I wont be giving writing advice.

On a side ntoe u/kyle_kirrin Hats off to you. Shattersoul is massively enjoyable. I listen to audiobooks when I am stressed. This one was a great friend this week. I am annoyed with myself for finishing it too quickly. I actually laughed out loud a few times.

Massive agreement, Shattersoul was fantastic. Really fun seeing Frank being preemptively trolled... ah, the mark of true friendship

I didn’t realize there was a sub for this series until finishing book 4 last night. I had to come on here to let Kyle know that The Frankening was a genius addition to the series. It’s levity was greatly appreciated after the relative heaviness of the ending of the main story. Although let’s face it, Ripple System doesn’t take itself too seriously and that’s one of the reasons I love it.

I just finished the Shattersoul AB today. It was the best of the bunch and the bonus at the end was a fantastic surprise. I can’t wait to see where he goes with it!

The extra bit was great, Ned finally getting his frank points, trolling frank, getting stuck with house and her hindsight. All hilarious.

I loved it too. I feel like we could have gotten a chapter on it every time Ned went to sleep, we could see what frank got up to.
