Cloud of Destruction: A Post-Apocalyptic LitRPG

Mists of Redemption, Book 3

By: M. L. Reid

Narrated by: Laurie Catherine Winkel

When a new portal opens in the post-apocalyptic ruins of Las Vegas, can an outcast Hunter level up enough to save the world?

Jynn Devhro used to be Earth's lowest-ranked Hunter, one of a breed of enhanced humans trained to fight the monsters terrorizing what's left of mankind. Through rigorous training and death-defying encounters with monsters—along with the help of the vengeance-seeking System grafted onto her soul—she has secretly leveled up, leaving her public ranking untouched. Now, her razor-sharp kindjal at her side, Jynn's ready for battle.

But just when things seem to be looking up, it all comes crashing down. When the System sends out an SOS, begging for help, Jynn has no idea where it is, just that it's in a portal. And the only Hunter ever to survive in a portal is the mysterious Kesstel, whom the System venomously rejects. Without the System, Jynn will lose her levels, her mist powers, and the chance to save her family—and the world.

In desperation, Jynn and Kesstel join their fellow Hunters on an expedition to close a new portal in the ruins of Las Vegas ruins whose appearance has shaken the entire world and rearranged the North American continent. There, Jynn will face ghosts from the past that will fill her with doubt. Will she ever be strong enough to destroy the parasitic planet that's draining Earth, or will everything fall apart before her very eyes?

The third volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with almost 600,000 views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

sad ending to great book

so out of the the 3 books this one was great. my biggest issue with the last book is that it was rushed it feels like. had great flow till middle of book then it went warp 9 in speed. imo there could have been another 2-3 books with what happened in the book. sad to see a great series end to soon.

hit all the feels

I loved this series. It was a great listen, with characters that draw you in and with enough tists and turns to keep you engaged. I like that it had a conclusive ending, no cliffhangers or last minute new challenge to draw out the story. At the same time, I was sad for it to end. That bittersweet spot of satisfied but still wanting more.

Well written and preformed.

This edition contained a lot of emotion which is a nice change from the usual emotional whitewash that occurs nowadays.

A satisfying conclusion

It's good to see gamelit books with an ending.

I've listened to this series twice now and it holds up.

40 hours in i started skipping ahead

When you are 40 hours right in the middle of the ending and you start using the skip button you know something went wrong. I would say the books are around a 3.5 star rating, it's alright in general, things that pull it down are a shallow system, occasional poor understanding of biology, monster functionality and movement, and so on with minor flaws. But in the end i would never recommend a book series with an ending that mad me skip ahead.
