Zero Sum Game by S.L. Huang
4.0
For some reason, I don't read a whole lot of action/thriller books. Zero Sum Game -- a fast-paced, larger-than-life story in which math is a superpower -- has left me wondering why.
This book was piles of fun - Cas Russell is a badass and endlessly interesting lead, and I find myself dearly attached to the supporting characters of Arthur, Checker, and Rio.
It's definitely a departure from the kind of thing I normally read, and at times some of the plot mechanisms edged toward the absurd - but they never ceased to entertain. Even if at times I thought something was a little cliche, I flew through this book - I never wanted to stop reading.
I just did some digging around on the internet and discovered that there are already several more books written for this series, and an indefinite amount planned. I'm very relieved - there's a lot more story here. You'll catch me back here whenever book 2 gets released! Can't wait to find out more about Cas Russell and her wacky gang of friends in the next installment.
