Extremely fun gaming novel with a compelling cast of characters. It nicely straddles the line between getting too into the weeds with gaming jargon (I'm not a fan of when it's all a focus on stats and grinding into OPness) and straight up becoming a fantasy novel set in a game world. The gaming is still with a keyboard and mouse!

It can get a bit slow, especially later in the book, but skimming until interesting scenes deals with that nicely. I laughed aloud sometimes, read late into the night sometimes when particularly interesting things were happening. Rooted for my faves to appear more often (the cast is pretty huge).
