Augmented Aspects #1
Augmented Aspects: Renaissance
Cassie is about to have her dream retirement, joining her favorite gaming world, Biprism Realm. A world filled with magic, portals, pocket realms, towers to eternity, monsters and most important of all, steampunk elements.
Most people would have balked at the idea of spending their retirement in a virtual world. Selling their pension for a chance at a better start in a new world filled with magic, mayhem, and monsters.
Fortunately, Cassie was one who wished to sell everything.
Rather than banking on possible restarts, Cassie decides to throw everything she has into one glorious start. Throwing away her future for the best possible start imaginable. With this, she will attempt to do what many before her have tried and failed at before her.
Unlike everyone else, Cassie has a plan, for this will be the rebirth of her new life.

Just a note to say thank you to the Author
I have really enjoyed reading Cass' story. The sheer enjoyment she has had with her retirement/second childhood. Her perspective on the world and how it is so different to the general norm of both the NPC and Regressors. Everything has just made this an entirely enjoyable ride so far and I am looking forward to starting the next in the series when I finish writing this.
And then there is the whole other series mentioned at the start of the book (Something Thyme, or Thyme Something I think?) That I have a sample of to remind me to switch over to that series after I finish or get caught up with this series' releases (cannot remember if this is a completed series or an ongoing one atm).
So, thanks Lykanthropy, for a very fun read and more to come.

Very best mind candy!
This book rapidly ramps up to an exciting and engaging pace, with fascinating characters in an inspired combination of steampunk and fantasy world. The magic system is interesting, and the stats add to the plot without getting in the way. Editing errors and odd word choices were a little jarring occasionally, but not enough to stop the rollicking good fun of the story. Totally addictive, and can’t wait for the next in series!

Interesting Read
Although I'm typically more of a fan of the books where magic is used for extreme violence, mage battling, evil sorcery, and betrayal this book has managed to keep my interest. The world that is created for the reader is exceptional as it bridges fantasy, spiritual, and everyday life elements into a mash up of wondrous possibilities. I would go into more detail but I dont want to be a spoiler. Enjoy the read.

Such a great story
A completely new look at the LitRPG genre. A person goes in thinking they will kill everything, only to realize that is not the actual life they want. So instead they go full adventure and truly learn to live.
I was thrown by how unique and exciting this story was.
