Warcross by Marie Lu
4.0
Brief overview:
Our main character, Emika Chen, is a down on her luck 19 year old with a big heart. One day she hacks into the world-wide popular game of Warcross and is discovered by the world and Warcross's creator, Hideo Tanaka. Her life is completely changed when she is invited by Hideo a 21 year old genius billionaire with a dark secret to solve a mystery surrounding the game.
Characters: I found the cast of characters very believable and diverse.
Plot: The story grabbed me from the beginning and kept me engaged to the end. Marie Lu is a former game designer so she is able to make Warcross sound like something that could be. I had an issue with they way a couple of scenes played out as they didn't make sense in the scheme of things but they didn't put me off the story. Going into this book I didn't know it was a first in a series, my mistake, so the ending was a bit frustrating although now I am happy to here there are more books coming. This book has been compared to Ready Player One but I think this definitely stands on its own and has little similarities.
Final thoughts: An enjoyable book which I recommend. Looking forward to more in the series.
