Con Quest! by Sam Maggs
5.0
I'm a geek. A major geek. I've been to cons since I was fifteen years old.
This book managed to capture every aspect of the convention experience, from the con-spanning quest (EXP Con in 2009/10) to overbearing security members wanting things to go back to the days of old. I felt like I was back on the convention floor, getting ready to see my favorite voice actors and spend my allowance at that one particular stall that's there every year (even if you could buy everything online for a much cheaper price). You know the one. It's at every convention. Not the same one, but there's always one. [/rant]
Anyway! Every character leapt off the page in a believable fashion. I felt that both Cat and Alex had very strong voices, and Fi's was just as powerful. I blasted through this book today, and I am now in love. This is definitely going on my top books of 2020 list this year, without fail!
