Warcross by Marie Lu

4.0

My neighborhood book club’s pick for August! Warcross follows a precocious computer hacker who gets recruited by a young Japanese billionaire to go undercover in a high-stakes virtual reality competition. It was fun and fast paced, if a bit formulaic, and succeeded in keeping me anxious to know what was going to happen next. I predicted one of the ending twists, but there was still a big one that did surprise me.

My biggest gripe: the “hacking” might as well have been a magic system, because the explanations and descriptions of it made no sense lol. I also wish we’d gotten to know the side characters a bit more.

Overall I enjoyed this enough that I’ll most likely be picking up the sequel.
