This book is like if Ready Player One understood camp and watched the Rocky Horror Picture show. It's absurd, ridiculous, fun, and bonkers. The aliens and the concepts introduced felt unique and I had a hard time wrapping my mind around them. At some point I just gave up and just accepted the concepts and ideas and rolled with the punches.
The story revolves around Isobel who is the best player of the Sparkleworld series. It is because she's the best that she gets recruited by a cabal to help save the universe. But do they want to save the universe? The story is on another level but if you don't think too hard it's really fun. The linguist details added that extra umph to make things somewhat plausible, if that's even a thing.
Overall it's a solid read and if you're looking for weird, fun, campy time, then this book might be for you.
