Far Cry Absolution
Far Cry Absolution | Urban Waite
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Hope County, Montana. Land of the free and the brave, but also home to a fanatical doomsday cult known as The Church of Eden’s Gate that has slowly been infiltrating the residents’ daily lives in the past years. Mary May Fairgrave, a local barkeep, has lost almost everything to the Church: her parents died in suspicious conditions and her brother, entranced by the cult leader’s charismatic words, has vanished. When the authorities refuse to investigate further, she decides to take matters in to her own hands. Local hunter William Boyd was saved by Eden’s Gate years ago, during the darkest moments of his life. When his duties lead him to cross paths with Mary May, the daughter of one of his old friends, he soon discovers that what is happening in the county is far from what he believed. Up against an omniscient and dangerous adversary, Mary May stands little chance. But the unexpected intervention of William Boyd will change her journey — as well as his.

Mehso-so

On one hand, it‘s very cool to be going into Far Cry 5 with a novel‘s worth of backstory and world building under the belt! On its own though, the story was so-so for me and the ending flopped.

I can appreciate though that as an author it must be difficult to be constrained with what you can or can‘t do with a tie in property. The writing was still great at times and I wouldn‘t shy away from trying some of his other stuff.

1. This mug was left behind by the last tenant, when I moved in with a girlfriend for the first time. I kept it
2. Most of my favourites are between seasons at the moment, but I never miss Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
3. Far Cry Absolution - unless you‘re excited for the game, there are better reads
4. -11C and mostly sunny, but still a foot of snow on the ground
5. No, I could never decide which Muppet Baby was my favourite...

2BR02B John Oliver always slays. Looking up his latest segments on YouTube is one of the first things I do every Monday. 7y

I like books, I like games... but I‘ve never bought into a video game tie-in novel before. This grabbed my interest though. I‘m very excited for Far Cry 5, and getting a prequel story a month out from release could be fun. Hope it‘s good!
