Living in another world can be soothing. A new life, a new identity – forgetting about all your worries. Resurrection, the second book in the Travail Online-Series, leaves the reader thinking about life and about technology in its entirety that might end everything we are so keen on preserving…
Brian Simons introduces the reader to characters facing challenges in an artificial world. What I find impressing is that this story develops and won´t ever come to a standstill. You might think that a world of this kind has boundaries but the author proves you wrong. Every time you want to yell „I´ve got it all figured out“, the story takes a turn and a new plot twist leaves you awestruck.
Carol is one of my favorite characters because she is not only authentic but coping with her life the way most people would – by trying to escape. But in the first novel, she turns out to be much more than I wanted to give her credit for at the beginning. The second book in the series is a whole new chapter for the protagonists. Although somehow, they seem to be stuck in the first one. Procrastination is what they are all about, it seems – Every time they face a new challenge, they master it but their way of thinking just wouldn´t change. This made me furious at times because I just wanted to yell at them to open their eyes and see!
Brian Simons is a brilliant author because he knows exactly how to engage a reader in a story. The LitRPG genre is quite new to me but I´m glad for it to have been him to introduce me to it.
