This book is, not unlike the full series, not very good objectively, but it's so fun. The characters are funny and interesting and lovable, and there are a lot of missed opportunities when it comes to cool scenes that could have happened and should have happened but that's what fanfiction is for!

i enjoyed this so much. the writing style isn’t the best, but there is just something so engaging about the characters and the story. i have no idea about any of the rules of exy still, but i’m a fan.
