Again, he is a sentient, or at least possessed, metal bracelet that Frey put on shortly before she was teleported to the land of Athia. One “person,” if they could indeed be called that, whom Frey is especially cold to at the start of her adventure is Cuff. She’s not exactly a noble warrior at the outset, and that comes across as believably endearing as you see her cold façade gradually chip away as she warms up to a select few people in need. Perhaps it’s simply the familiarity of her old life is still something she’d rather have than being thrust into the problems of strangers in a strange land? Whatever the case, I know that personally I’d probably want to stay in Athia with the magical powers she quickly unlocks.Īfter befriending some of the locals, Frey finds herself caring for their fates, and thus decides that some of them are worth fighting for. Why, exactly, she is so eager to get back to the life that just a few hours ago she was ready to leave behind is a mystery. For some reason, Frey and her unwanted bracelet partner whom she derisively calls Cuff are unaffected by the Break, as they have seemingly been purposely summoned into Athia in order to help the few remaining people who have managed to escape to a city on top of the mountains.Īt first, Frey is reluctant to want to help anyone, even after one of the citizens helps to get her out of prison. Now, however, each Tanta rules with an iron fist, as all have been corrupted by the Break. The land has been ruled by four women known as Tantas, and Athia was a peaceful place to live before the Break. New York City and the United States of America at large may have their own share of problems like any country, but they’re nothing like what Athia is facing.Īn ominous miasma that Frey calls the Break has infected the land, turning every living thing it touches into either dust or a much more ferocious, bloodthirsty version of its former self. When she stumbles upon a magical, sentient bracelet (he prefers the term vambrace), Frey is transported into a whole different world entirely, called Athia.
Little does she know that her plan is about to succeed in the most absurd way possible.
For those unfamiliar, Forspoken stars Frey Holland, a typical young woman in New York, who is seemingly tired of her current life and plans to get away from everything.
