Solid read with unique world and plot. I was truly surprised with this one. The games were not at all like I'd expected and I turned out to be surprised by twists multiple times. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to connect with the main characters, even disliked most of them at some point and got annoyed at their behavior.

I kept thinking this book was predictable. It does well leading you to believe you know what is going to happen next. You don't. It was really fast paced and I may have missed some little details the first time around. The writing was whimsical and descriptive. After digesting some more, I might read the second but at this moment I'm not too interested.
