A review by alexblackreads
The Unseen World by Liz Moore

5.0

Edit 1/21/2019: Just finished a reread via audiobook and this is still a five star stunning read for me. I don't think I enjoyed the experience quite as much this time because I'm not the biggest fan of audiobooks, but this is just amazing. I already want to reread it again.

This book is honestly one of the best books I've read in a very long time. I wasn't too excited to read it initially because of the computer science elements and virtual world, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance anyway. It was stunningly written. Several times I was outright bawling over Ada's relationship with her father. The whole book was an amazing ride that I didn't realize I'd signed on for. It was nothing like I expected, or like I would have imagined a typical book about virtual reality and computer science. It focused on characters and slowly developed them over years and the course of the book. It's exactly the kind of book I enjoy most, and I can't recommend this enough.
