One Word Kill by Mark Lawrence

3.0

No Spoilers in this first paragraph

This was a cool story that involves time. What was a large misrepresentation is the blurb I saw about the book being "Ready Player One" meets "Stranger Things." It was a cool story and because the books are so short I will probably read the other two but I think this was the largest let down I have seen from a blurb. I am interested to see the dilemma presented at the end of the book and how it plays out in the next one.

Spoilers below

There is no technology like "Ready Player One." Granted there is time travel and rudimentary tech. There is nothing supernatural about the story at all. The only comparison to "Stranger Things" is that there is a group of friends, one of which is a girl and they play D&D.
