This book is good. But, i can't stand how Ernest over describes EVERYTHING in this book like. I like immersion, but over describing a setting only makes the reading tiresome and heavy. Is the story enjoyable? leaving two chapters The pretty in pink shard, and the incredibly boring prince shard (i spent weeks trying to end this chapter because of how tedious it was to read it) every other one was really really enjoyable and i had a lot of fun. Though i gotta say... The end... doesn't sit right with me idk.
Do i recommend this book? If you enjoyed the first book, yes absolutely, if you didn't... i'm so sorry but it only gets worse.
3.75 / 5

I was worried about this book when I heard about it, because I felt like Ready Player One was one of those books that should remain a standalone. After reading this, I think I was right.
Ready Player One was, in my opinion, better than this book in every single way. It was paced better, the story was more exciting, more happened (this one felt repetitive, like it was the same thing over and over with very little variety). It was funnier, and the characters had more personality. There weren't many surprise twists and big reveals. All in all, I'm left feeling disappointed.
I didn't hate this by any means. I still give it 3 stars. But, given that the first book was much better, and Cline had the better part of a decade to write this, I had hoped for a lot better.
