To me, one of the biggest appeals of this book is the world it creates. It intertwines old video games and futuristic technology in a compelling way. If you're a fan of references to 80s pop culture and classic video games, you'll probably like this book.

A few parts in the middle felt like they were rushed over to maintain the story's momentum, but other than that the pacing is pretty good.

The ending wrapped the story up nicely. It might be a bit too clean for some, but I still enjoyed it.

Overall, I liked the story and loved the world it's set in.

A really enjoyable read. I love the nostalgia this book brings. It’s very intense and you can’t stop reading it. I would say I’m not a fan of how the female characters are written and the book tends to tell you the plot rather than leave you to figure it out. There are parts that are also quite sudden. I’d still recommend.
