One Word Kill by Mark Lawrence

4.0

Goodreads had a voting on the best Scifi of 2019 and I essentially used it to create a reading list. This one was one of the highest ranking and is centered around a group of kids that play D&D together...so I had to read it! It is pretty good...I felt like 4 stars was excessive but it really was better than a 3. It reminded me a little of Ready Player One if it was written by someone like Brandon Sanderson...the story and concept are good but the actual writing is simple and straightforward which there is nothing wrong with that I just prefer things to be more complicated with stunning word play. It is a series and I am like 82% committed to the next book. And it is short...listened to it in under 4 hours.
