I listened to the audio version, but I wish I had obtained a physical copy because there were parts I would want to reread and terms I didn't know. I still enjoyed it thoroughly. I will be thinking about it a long time.

Real mixed opinions on this book as a whole. Was really confused about a third in as I had put the book down for a while and then was suddenly a good 20 years ahead in the next chapter which was really confusing. I feel if it read chronologically I’d have enjoyed a lot more and would’ve built a better relationship with the characters and seeing their growth. Some sections I absolutely loved but through the second half of the book I just found myself skimming sentences and wanting to skip pages because it felt so boring. I also got really confused when it entered the scene in the game near the end, I didn’t get a sense of who was who or what the purpose of that section was. Personally didn’t get the hype 🥲

This book is divided into parts, and if you think of it as the sum of those into a whole - I think readers will enjoy it more. The book doesn’t pick one time to stay in throughout, there are jumps foreword and back and the beginning features heavy foreshadowing (honestly it kinda just states the what’s to come in some parts) and doesn’t make the reader work hard in guessing how things may develop. There is a slight identity crisis in writing style and what the book is accomplishing but again if you think of it in parts, it makes more sense and is less confusing. 
I did not like the sudden narrator switch, it’s something I tend to not like at all in books but I do think it worked to further the story and of course it provided a unique perspective but I found it jarring and awkward. 
The characters in this book will piss you off, and while parts of it are so beautiful overall it does leave you feeling sad. Maybe that’s just me. It’s meant to leave off hopeful but it feels sorrowful instead. 
I thought the middle of this book was the most beautiful - everything before the pioneer game chapters. I devoured the beginning of this book, but at the end it wasn’t as captivating and I felt like I was reading in circles, the character progression had stagnated but honestly they were just in a stagnant place which I understand. Overall I did really enjoy this book, there were just parts of the writing style I found to be a hinderance to the actual story, it felt like there was a slight identity crisis but it did make for a unique and thought provoking read.
