Repo Virtual by Corey J. White
4.0
so badly wanted to love this because Corey is an absolutely amazing person and I will never stop shouting the praises of the Voidwitch novellas from the top of my lungs. I honestly think this whole thing went over my head so its not a novel thing, its a me thing. For this reason, I am not giving a star rating because that would not be fair.
It has amazing NB rep in the form of one of the MC most trusted companions and normalises the whole thing in a way that is truly remarkable; there's never discussion of why they present as they, they just are.
The whole thing is set in the future after the world as we know it has fallen and Korea seems to have taken over as the main power. Pretty much everything has been eastern-ised (I think thats a word) so its all video games, kimchi and some epic sounding tech.. Its cyberpunk at its finest but unfortunately, I just couldn't really get into it no matter how hard I tried.
Now I am not saying this is a bad quality novel because its not. The writing style is excellent and it is quite obviously a work of the heart. It creates vivid imagery with the turn of every page and I really feel like I could love it if I could just wrap my head around half the references.
Overall a great read if you are into cyberpunk. A kind of confusing one if you are oblivious to technology like me.
