This is such an amazing series. For the most part, it is easy to get into, and I love how the author incorporates mythology, classic stories, and fairytales into the virtual reality network. I just finished reading the Iliad last month, so I loved that I had the reference as one of the prominent themes in this one is the Iliad and the Odyssey. The author includes recaps of the previous books, which is really helpful. However, it is difficult to follow along at times because of the vast number of characters and viewpoints. The core people we started with are fine, but there are a lot of moving parts and characters that I found myself trying to grasp who they were. In addition to the recaps, a character list to reference would have been very helpful. It all is starting to tie together, and I am really looking forward to reading the final book.
