5.0
If you combined Sword Art Online and Quidditch with a pinch of [b: Hunger Games|2767052|The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)|Suzanne Collins|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1447303603s/2767052.jpg|2792775] this would be your result...and it's EPIC!
[b: Warcross|29385546|Warcross (Warcross, #1)|Marie Lu|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1489081682s/29385546.jpg|49634052] is a virtual reality combat game created by young billionaire, Hideo Tanaka. Teams compete in virtual arenas to steal the opposing team's artifact. Emika Chen is a hacker and bounty hunter struggling to keep a roof over her head. Seizing a risky opportunity to make some quick cash, Emika accidentally glitches herself into the live Warcross opening ceremony. Instead of being arrested, Hideo Tanaka himself offers her a job...as both a player and spy in the game.
It's a book rich in stunning world descriptions, bloodthirsty competition, technological marvels, secrets and lies. As Emika delves into the underbelly of the Dark World, she discovers a plot larger than what she could have imagined. It'll keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end...and what an end it was! I can't wait to see what the sequel has in store for us.
Recommended for those that absolutely love a good virtual reality plot and mah fellow gamers and Quidditch fans...because we all love a good game.
Imagine wandering through the most realistic virtual Paris ever, or lounging in a full simulation of Hawaii's beaches. Imagine flying through a fantasy world of dragons and elves. Anything.
