5.0

I can’t say enough positive things about this book, so let me start by saying I loved it enough to actually mail my copy to one of my favorite college professors. It combines video games, Shakespeare, and other literature to create this multi-dimensional story that leaves readers hooked. I found myself cheering, getting angry, and feeling heartbroken along with each of the characters throughout the story. Sadie and Sam are amazingly complex characters, and Marx is given more depth than almost any other non-main character (or NPC as he is dubbed) I have encountered yet. This story follows multiple decades and describes the evolution of the video game industry; it honestly portrays most of the good, the bad, and the ugly. I can see why this one made it for the BOTY awards, and I’m glad I took the time to read it (even if I kept getting distracted so it took a while). If you haven’t read it yet, do yourself a favor and order a copy right now 🕹️💾
