It was okay. For me, the pace of this book felt erratic, some parts were extremely fast-paced, others started to drag on.

Alara's life is rigidly controlled, her emotions dulled and she experiences no pain. After a gaming tournament sees her disqualified, she finds herself given a mission - infiltrate the world hidden below her glowing city and report back. But what happens when she finds herself falling in love with the community and people she finds there?
This started off with a bit of a Ready Player One, Ender's Game vibe but really found it's feet when Alara travelled to the world of London Below. I really started enjoying the story and the characters from this point, and shared Alara's excitement for all the new experiences and food she tried. The sense of community was really strong.
While the worlds of Estrella and London Below were well described, I did feel that I needed a little more world building, and combined with the ending that left me wanting more, I really feel this story needs a sequel to flesh out the world further and continue Alara's story. But this is a positive note - I really enjoyed this story and the characters and I want to spend more time there.
