Riftside #3
Riftside 3: A LitRPG Fantasy Adventure
The Hive Mind is evolving. So are Ash and Roq.
Ash and Roq have carved out a name for themselves helping defend their home and the people of Dawnwatch, created a party strong enough to survive whatever Riftside throws at them, and built a home worth fighting for. It might be safe for now, but beyond the rift, the Hive Mind prepares to win the war at any cost.
With the nobles beaten and the forge safe, Ash sets his sights on their true enemy. He knows they need more power and time. That means going out and hunting the red-tagged monsters threatening Sentinel Station and its adventurers. With Roq’s breakthrough, he has regained the memories from his previous life, and now they finally know who and what their enemy truly is.
Ash and his party have to hunt bigger, forge deeper, and hit harder, because the Hive Mind is watching. And learning.
If you love Primal Hunter, He Who Fights With Monsters, or Ultimate Level 1, it’s time to return to Riftside.

Soooooooo friggintastic! Grab this action-heavy litRPG...
So! Much! Action-heavy! Fun! Soooooooo! Friggintastic! An Axe, a Warhammer, and a Bow walk into a bar... Wait. Wa... three people carrying Soul Weapons walk into a bar. And all six are powerful and fascinating! It should be no surprise that I love sentient soul weapons, Roq and Arclight take the pie with ice-cream on top. They've both leveled and become som'min more than what they were but in a way the same, but also as different as night and day! Yep get the book to see what I mean. In past reviews I've always glossed over leveling but in this series leveling is as important as fighting! Because leveling has to be a conscious decision not to be taken lightly! To take the next step on the path to strength could mean your death if your not strong enough to withstand the changes made to your body while undergoing the process. But Ash and Roq have found a way to circumvent and cheat death.
So yeah grab the book and have fun reading this litRPG adventure!
Here's a couple of quotes:
"He runs like a frightened grok-lizard. All clonk and no dignity."
"I presented her with its still-beating heart as a token of my affection. She was most impressed."

Great continuation and the stakes are ratcheting up!
Things just keep getting more intense as we find out more about the hive mind invaders, the stakes involved and plots by the local enemy. Then there's the

Still fun
Love story is getting much better. That may actually be the best part of the book. No real epilogue but its not too bad an ending
