Been meaning to read this for awhile and finishing a production of Macbeth is what finally made it happen. 

The narrative structure of this, sometimes reading like a retrospective on the career of Sadie and Sam, plus the focus on game design through the lens of a deep friendship + business made this an incredibly engaging read. The characters felt real and complex. The setting felt vibrant. I enjoyed the peppering in of theater as part of Marx's identity. I definitely understand why this keeps appearing on best of lists.

Fell flat at times but very good. A bit predictable at times and seemed like a complex love triangle which I don’t usually go for but intellectually written with nostalgia for the “golden era of video games” but very interesting nonetheless

can't rate it i feel like i need to go full english class analysis mode to fully understand this book and i simply do not have the time rn !!!!!!!! the writing was incredible though id love to read another book from this author. i think i wanted something different out of this book that it simply was not trying to be and that's a me issue but i did literally just finish it so maybe i'll have more thoughts in the future. i did really appreciate the love this book has for storytelling and stories and art and creation

As a non-gamer I didn't expect to love this book but it totally surprised me with its depth. I binged it in two days because I just had to know what's next.

More detailed trigger warning:

there's a pretty detailed active shooter scene, and a detailed suicide by jumping. They're not gratuitous, but rough to read
