Writing was dense but I enjoyed the way each character had their own voice through out the story.There were times where the book felt like it was going a little slow or was giving a lot of information and not a lot of action, but I was still enjoying it. There were several times where I questioned if I truly understood the story and the plot, but there are 2 chapters at the end which confirm how the virus works and I was happy to find out I understood it.  The world building was really good,both the  physical and the metaverse. I think that if you focus too much on the little details early on, like the structure of the United States, the highways etc. Then the book will be overwhelming and you won't want to continue, but once you get used to the style of writing, I feel like it is much easier to understand.however,  the initial Introduction can be a little overwhelming. I really enjoyed the action scenes throughout the story and while the book did take me a while to finish, i'm very happy I did.  I really enjoyed the the characters and the diversity in the book. I was surprised how much I really grew to enjoy raven. Fido is the literal best!
