I don't know if the book didn't live up to my expectations or if I was just not in the right headspace to appreciate it. I expected a 5-star read, but it was just fine.

It's very well written. However, nothing about it surprised me or really stuck out to me. The emotional parts didn't land as I think they were meant to.

I hesitate to recommend it, but I also hesitate to write it off.

2.0

Despite the hype, this book was not for me. The concept was intriguing and the author's knowledge of the gaming world was impressive. However, I did not find any the characters likeable or the least sympathetic--the one exception was Marx. I appreciated the raw emotions and honesty of the story (this is no fairy tale) but sometimes the superfluous word choices took me out of it. Furthermore, and this isn't the author's fault, the audiobook narrator was rsther stiff and emotionless.

andrearutz98's review against another edition

Its a soft dnf for now. This book is just so heavy and slow that i have to break it up with another book. Maybe I'll come back and finish after reading something lighter.
