This is an interesting one. I really feel like this would've worked way better if it was a comicbook arc. All the time while I was reading I thought "wow, I kind of want to know what this looks like" because it is actually a pretty fun story! I hope they'll adapt it into a comic one day, but for now we at least have this rendition. This is a prequel to the game Spider-Man Miles Morales and it's a pretty good one at that. It introduces us to the character pretty well and kind of gives you a taste to how he does things in a different way to Peter Parker. Also, it's fun to read how he and Peter interact. I can't really seem to get enough of that.
Kind of a nitpick though, this book implies Miles already has his black and red suit before the game starts, but you only get that like 2 hours into it? Slight inconsistency that was quite noticeable unfortunately.
But overall, this book was a fun read. It's not a mind-blowing story but the interactions between Miles and Peter add a lot, I just think it would've worked far better in a comic.
Can't give half stars, but I give it a solid 7/10.

i haven’t played this game but i really liked how this book dealt with miles and his struggles as a young black man and especially as a young black spider-man.

Fun, but action scenes are hard to follow and the actual timeline of the story does not make sense. The smaller scenes are thr best parts, getting things to where they need to be for the game.

As a fan who loves the Miles Morales comics, this book is just as good and maybe even better. We get insight on the backstories of some really intriguing villains who, because of this book, are my new favorite.

The story is very pleasant and captivating but unfortunately Spider-Man is a super hero whose works better in comic books than a regular novel. Thus, the art of movement specific to Spider-Man is not well transcribed and the action scenes are therefore a bit boring. Full of good elements but a certain laziness in the development of ideas. However, I absolutely loved the scenes between Miles and Peter.
