Firebreak by Nicole Kornher-Stace
3.0
I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Firebreak was an interesting book to dive into. I was definitely getting Ready Player One vibes from it but also something a bit different at the same time. Now while this had some interesting and mysterious parts to it, I'll admit that I was bored for most of this book. It just felt like not a lot was happening and I was missing information during certain situations and stuff. I also really wanted more background information about certain characters too.
In it, you will meet Mallory... who was okay. To me at least. In the beginning, I was honestly really excited to get to know her. She was an orphan and lives with eight others in a hotel room. They all work numerous jobs to save enough money to keep their room and other stuff to survive. One of her jobs was streaming a popular virtual reality war game.
This game along kept this a page turner for most of this book. It just happened to get boring to read about in certain parts. I feel like I kept getting bored because I wasn't connecting to the main character, Mal, at all. I did like some of the characters but I wasn't fully invested in them at the same time. Which disappoints me because I was really excited to dive into this book.
In the end, it was a quick book to devour but things started to become a bit predictable towards the end.
