Alexa Drey: Hero Hunting (Barakdor Book 3) Kindle Edition

Nine colony ships set off for a distant planet.

Nine VR lands designed to keep the colonists sane.

Nine lands converge at the journey’s end to become Barakdor.

Something goes terribly wrong.

Lincoln is on the last ship to leave the dying Earth. He is supposed to be traveling with his wife, Joan, but in the days running up to the ship’s desperate departure, Joan suddenly dies. Riddled with grief, Lincoln vows to use his time in VR to build her a Legacy.

Alexa Drey is resigned to a slow death; she’d missed the cut, but at the last minute she lands a surprise seat. She has one problem—she’s never played virtual reality RPGs before, and she’s got to spend a long time playing in Barakdor.

In this, the third Barakdor book, we follow Alexa Drey as she ventures farther into the land. But what does ShadowDancer have in store for her? What is the strange shadow mana, and will the wizards finally start teaching her again, or will they settle for an ultimate ale?

This six book series (the seventh – The Gates of Striker Bay – is due out October/early Nov 2019) follows both Lincoln and Alexa as they play Barakdor.

Two points of view are used—each book is clearly marked with which.

Very mild swearing used rarely.

This is a LitRPG book where the majority of the story takes place in VR immersion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alexa and Lincoln both have a part to play now!!
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2018
Happily continuing this story. Book 3 brings book 1 and 2 together, and then pushes forward to new ground. Alexa continues her main quest, and Lincoln continues to grow his city. A host of new characters are introduced, and some lost :( The author does a great job of building Lore, and bringing the history of the land, and the land itself, to life.

Some authors have a hard time staying on subject and weaving their stories. Ember somehow manages to weave in twists and hints from his first two books into this one. Its a great tapestry and wonderful world. Can’t wait for book 6... (now im on to binge 4 and 5).

4.0 out of 5 stars The story threads pulls together
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2020
I have to say, I'm a little surprised at how scattered the reviews are on this. The third book isn't any worse than the second, with various plot threads beginning to pull together that were seeded in the second book. Lincoln and Alexa finally catch up, the narrative placed by the game begins to connect into a coherent plan, and Alexa develops into a more balanced and individually capable character. I will say that my primary interest in the series is the city building aspect centered on Lincoln and that having two books from Alexa's perspective does make an imbalance between the two main characters. Given that, it likely would have been improved by having chapters from each perspective instead of wholly separate books to keep them both progressing down the plot at the same rate.

Otherwise, the book is as well written as the earlier ones. There's more magic, better gear, neat characters, and a monstrous slug. I look forward to the next book for my city building fix, but this isn't a bad book by any means. So, if you've already read this far in the series, give it a shot. If it doesn't appeal, the next book jumps back to Lincoln, though there is quite a bit of plot that happens.

I continue to really enjoy the characters in this series. The fact that the characters are not what you expect are what sets it apart. Really enjoying it and waiting on the next!

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2018
Loved the first book, Lincoln Hart. Second book, Alexa Drey was a little difficult to read as Alexa was so different from Lincoln. He was mature, if a bit stolid, but Alexa was so immature for being 24. This instalment was much improved as she is finally becoming more of an adult as she adventures with a new group and more difficult situations. The build up as the story unfolds becomes so titillating by the end that June 2018 cannot come fast enough! Some editing errors, but minor.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do I have to?
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2018
My rating is based upon personal enjoyment only.

My reaction to finishing this book was - "Thankfully that's over". I have mentioned that the author lacks attention to detail in the previous books. It is worse here.

Lincoln should be several levels higher than he is. According to book one buildings are worth 10 xp per level of the building. 1st level = 10, 2nd level = 20, etc. With the way it is written, the experience points are cumulative not additive. This would be the standard MMO model. The author used the additive method. Each building or upgrade is worth ten points only. And even then, the experience for Lincoln is wrong. The author just fudged it as the numbers take too much time apparently. If you're writing LitRPG you accept the requirement to be accuarate or receive reviews of this nature.

Alexa continues to be an eminently dislukable MC that just let's everyrhing happen. I saw no real growth in her personality.

In summation, I loathe this book and the only reason I finished it was to verify there was nothing else to do with Lincoln. I will try book four since it is about Lincoln but the author has two strikes and the third pitch has already been released.
