Alexa Drey: The Veils Of Lamerell (Barakdor Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Ember Lane (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 266 ratings

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 second Barakdor book, we follow Alexa Drey as she takes her first steps in the land. She's played no VRMMPORGs before. Will this affect her game? Or can she learn on the fly? There's only one way to find out...

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.

  • Book 1 – The Legacy Builder, follows Lincoln Hart
  • Book 2 – The Veils of Lamerell, follows Alexa Drey
  • Book 3 – Hero Hunting, follows Alexa Drey
  • Book 4 – The Secrets of Starellion, follows Lincoln Hart
  • Book 5 – The Prince of a Cheated House, follows Alexa Drey
  • Book 6 – Random, follows Lincoln Hart
  • Book 7 – The Gates of Striker Bay, follows Alexa Drey (Due Oct/earl Nov 2019)
  • Book 8 – The Queen of Harts, wraps up the series (Due April/May 2020)

Audio for books 2 and 3 coming Jan and Feb 2020, the rest following soon after.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding book! Can't wait to read book 3.

    A MC that you can relate to and want to support; just like Lincoln in book 1. Well written with excellent dialog and grammer but there are a few typos (they were extra words in a sentence). Love the story and if she seems to be getting a bit OP, who cares, her enemies are OP as well. Recommended buy, we need to support good authors like this.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A new character expands the world
    Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2020
    Format: Kindle
    I was surprised when I realized that the series continued with a completely different character, one only mentioned in the first book. That said, this book takes the time to expand the world in a way that Lincoln's perspective doesn't. Legends and mysteries are revealed, but not explained, and Alexa's arc rolls forward with a sense of exploration that's quite different from the first book. Where Lincoln knows what he wants to do, where he wants to go, and how he wants to build his city, Alexa is new to both games and the world and is gently guided by the game onto a path that suits her. Some might complain that she lacks agency, but there's a charm to an exuberant character swept along with legends that she doesn't have the context to appreciate.

    Alexa's story also serves to deliver much of the lore and background to the world that wasn't investigated with Lincoln's relative isolation. The rise and fall of nations, of gods, and the background plotting that steps the eventual war forward. And I like it. I don't need the protagonist to always know best and a good chunk of this book is just a friendly girl finding her feet and making friends while big events slowly grind into motion. It's far more adventure than action, but I enjoy stories that unearth the long lost past. And I like the cheerful demeanor of the protagonist.

    All in all, I think this is a worthwhile read and I look forward to seeing where the next book takes us.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable but..
    Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2018
    Format: Kindle
    I rate on enjoyment only. My criticisms are a bit insubstantial. Her comrades seem happy to let her walk through traps blindfolded for all the knowledge they withhold. When they do tell her anything it's unclear and unfinished info. Not only does that not frustrate her, she doesn't even get angry at them for locking her in a room. The dagger bit is stupid too, she knows better and will surely lead to cringe worthy situations eventually. I kinda dislike flip but all of the characters have more character than alexa. Her development didn't excite. She's supposed to be capable of great magic and nobody is willing to tell her or teach her anything except now to run. I did enjoy the book as a nice distraction for the evening but it didn't really satisfy. The MC was too much of a blank slate and it didn't hint enough on her future role. I see linkolns ambition and he's on his way, alexas path is unclear and nothing suggests where she's going, what she's doing or why she cares. She just meanders. Blank. Would be acceptable as a book 1 to introduce chars and the world but how's this story ever going to get anywhere at this pace following at least 2 main characters.

    5.0 out of 5 stars the ultimate travel game
    Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2018
    Format: Kindle
    Its strange... and even a little foretelling. Our Earth ravaged to the point that we have to leave it.... but to leave it, to travel to somewhere new, is beyond what our fragile minds can handle. We just don't do well when we are shut up in a small place with nothing to do. So many books have the adventures just put into hyper sleep, and they wake up when they get there. But again... thats a long nap. Ember's world has people dropped into a full immersion game world, where they live while the ship travels. Such a small part of her storyline, but still, makes me think...

    Alexa is one of those who travels to a new world. Her only issue, she is not, and has never been, a gamer. So this is all new to her. The person helping her into the pod's thinks due to her noob-ness, she will be slowly introduced to the game world, but instead, she gets dropped into a fight for the existence of the world. What I like most about the story is the characters (well, most of them). You feel you really get to know her, and how she thinks, why she does things. Very happy that book 3 is already downloaded so I can continue on :)

    5.0 out of 5 stars It was a good story, and editing errors were few

    I'm a bit new to the LitRPG genre, so I don't have much basis for "good" mechanics. It was a good story, and editing errors were few. Where this story really grabbed my attention (above and beyond what the Lincoln Hart arc managed) was the bits that I hope, hope, HOPE, were glimpses of what's going on outside the game, though we know almost nothing known about the world outside. If the bits I picked up on were actual hints and not random chatter it's masterful use of sublety. Very excited for the next installment.

    Alexa enters a virtual world for the first time ever, and due to some glitch arrives in the afterlife only with some clothes. She has no guidance, and no gaming experience to give her a clue. With some encounters and assistance, she finds her way to the "living" world, and begins trying to discover who and what she is. She finds herself among some of the strongest beings in this world, but unfortunately, they have forgotten just how fragile a low level creature is.
