“Everything's science fiction until someone makes it science fact.”
I enjoyed this novel SO much!!! I felt a bit like a kid in a candy store while reading this, it has so many things that I love to read about crammed into one book! We have a cool futuristic world with beyond fascinating VR, fun video game stuff and references, and an epic competition taking place in one of my favorite cities on the planet, what more could a girl ask for?
I think, for the most part, the story was pretty fast-paced and very fun with lots of exciting moments. There were certain parts that I wish were done a bit better, like the main romance for instance, I think it should have progressed a bit slower, and they should've had more scenes dedicated to them actually becoming friends first, instead of having them automatically start going out. It felt a little rushed to me, but I still liked some of their moments together, and thought they were cute.
As for the ending, well
This book was really awesome, and I'm hoping that the sequel will be just as good, if not better.

Spoiler
I must admit that I hadn't quite expected Hideo to be the "bad guy", I do appreciate that he has a semi good reason for what he's doing, and that he has lots of room to see the error of his ways and return to the good side (at least I hope that's what'll happen). I did however 100% guess that Zero was actually Sasuke. What can I say? I guess I read too many YA novels XDThis book was really awesome, and I'm hoping that the sequel will be just as good, if not better.
