Publisher's summary

Barliona is back! Old world, new heroes!

What would happen if a professional rock musician joined a virtual MMO in search of inspiration among its game world? What would happen if she decided to play as a biota bard, a brand-new race of humanoid flora as well as a new class?

Whatever would happen, it would surely be fun....

love Barliona

This is an excellent continuation of a series. I've only ever enjoyed. I'm thrilled to get to see more of the story from a different perspective.

Good Story, but bad name pronunciation

If you are going to have a spinoff series with a different narrator you should have the sound editor check to make sure that the main characters names from the main series arent butchered. *Face Plant*

To band together with music

I loved the idea of a band going into virtual reality to get ideas for songs for that game. My favorite part was the meeting of the main character and the military man, one is a gamer, the other is not. This duo makes this book easy to understand from two points of view.

Slow start to series

It feels like a very slow start with a rushed ending to me. Going to need to relisten to The Way of the Shaman to remember what was going on. I understand why I kept seeing unfavorable reviews for this book. If you haven’t read and liked Way of the Shaman don’t bother with this one. I think this is just an intro to this new spinoff from that series.

I have hope...

The book reads like an unbroken string of one-liners connected together to try and narrate a story. It loosely feels like the Shaman series, but the constant barrage of one-liners seems like the author's attempt at creating witty, well-read characters. Instead, however, it's just incredibly distracting and makes the narrative hard to follow. If you filter that out, though, the characters are still likeable and the plot arc is interesting (if less so than the Shaman series). Thus, I have hope for the rest of the series.
