Status Updates From Rites of Passage: A Warmach...

Elara is written somewhat inconsistently, but I like the religious aspect of the assassin training.

Aiakos' story is not about becoming a warcaster, that is a tertiary thing in this. Which I really don't like.

Andrei Malakov *** is a fucking asshole at fist, but the author manages to give him depth, which is admirable. Khadoran training sounds very intriguing, but it takes back seat to the conspiracy plot sadly.

Lieutenant Allison Jakes ****
Great description of a young officer among veterans, delivers the feeling of a Cygnaran warcaster really well through action in both training and battle, gives character to both Sturgis and Jakes.

Tristan Durant ***
Different but also good description of warcaster training with the faithful. No turn of faith which I appreciate. Action is sometimes a bit lame.
