Blessed Time 3: Dakkora's Legacy

A LitRPG Adventure

By: Cale Plamann

Narrated by: Neil Hellegers

A new threat arises, and time itself may not be enough.

Retirement or polite exile. Whatever you want to call it, it had been kind to Micah Silver. He had saved his home of Basil's Cove at the cost of his reputation, leaving the country to avoid further complications and settling into the comfortable life of a guild master, running a small but elite adventurer's guild.

When war and nefarious forces split the realms, Micah dives into the breach once more, confident in his stupendous magical power and time magic will keep him and his friends safe. It won't.

He fails, and a new enemy with a familiar face has followed him back into the past, wreaking havoc on the timeline. Now Micah's only chance comes in the form of a map, guiding him halfway around the world to the laboratory of the greatest wizard that ever lived. If he's going to have any chance in the coming confrontation, he will need to arm himself with the powerful artifacts she left behind.

But his enemy knows the location of her laboratory as well, turning his quest into a deadly race with consequences for all life on Karell.

Fantastic

A fantastic continuation of the series, I'm intrigued on where it will go in the next book. I do miss that time travel takes a lesser role in this book compared to others.

Grim

I felt grim foreboding throughout this book and that’s it. Could hardly finish it. It was all plot and no soul. I was not rooting for the MC nor had interest in the other characters anymore. Too bad because book 1 was so great.

New loop, new challenges!

Early chapters started slow, and I was worried about the whole 'no more time travel' ultimatum, but thankfully it was only an end to the five-year loop, and there are still some shorter loops going on.

Things did end up picking up toward the end and the final battle was all kinds of awesome. Looking forward to the next book!

Author became too enamored with their world

The first book was a great long-term time loop book, absolutely wonderful, can't say enough good things about it. The second book was an interesting quirk on the formula- a book where the MC has to put together everything they learned in book 1 and finally succeed at his goal, no more loops, no matter what. It was a good extension of the character and still keyed into the timeloop aspect since he was retreading well-understood ground.

This book is not good because it completely abandons the timeloop side. Once again, the MC can't timeloop, but he's in a part of the timeline we the readers have never seen (although he lived it once before, off-screen). And for the most part he's doing stuff he's never done before, in places he's never been, etc. So basically this is just a litrpg story with an OP protagonist with no timeloop element whatsoever. What's the point? The characters we like spend the majority of the book off-screen, except for the MC who is fine.

This book is the kind of thing you might get from like Defiance of the Fall where it's a small part of a massive, aimless whole. The MC gets some level-ups and accomplishes a goal, and that's it. The fact that this is book 3 of 4 in a series that up until now has been pretty tightly-paced makes it stick out, and the fact that it just abandons the series' entire premise is a real problem.

Story was slow to find itself, finished better.

The first 2 books were fantastic imo and I was looking forward to seeing where the story was going... however the author just sort of thrust us into a new massive problem skipping a ton of time in-between the last book and this one.

The best part of these books is following along the whole way up until he needs to restart! We like to see him learn and get stronger... but because it begins at a restart... we miss a ton of progression, and he's just god-like the entire story! I liked the demon's time traveling curve ball... but I'm not as big a fan of this book in general.

Worth a listen though since the ending is pretty fun and surely has a cool sequel.
