Heir Apparent by Vivian Vande Velde
5.0
This is another book I find myself rereading at least once every year. That could just be because I am a video game fan, and this book is about a virtual reality video game, or just because it’s a damn good read.
Of course, it’s also one of those books that pulls off the stunt of “changing something” that’s always worked a certain way, but the way it was pulled off… you didn’t even know it was happening until the very end when they mentioned it.
The writing style is easy to understand, and flows beautifully. The descriptions allow one to imagine the landscape and people around you, but also leaves room for your own imagination to think up its own version. And although it’s a short book that can be devoured in a scant few hours, those few hours will not be wasted.
A truly sublime book, and I recommend it to any and all, not just the video game fans.
