Perception Check by Astrid Knight
5.0
Perception Check is such a phenomenal book - I read the second half in just one day, which is practically unheard of these days!
Set between our world, and that of Velmyra, we get to see the characters discover that the land of their well-loved RPG is actually real. Violet is determined to find her best friend, who she now knows was taken to Velmyra many years ago, and must master the use of magic in order to do so.
There is so much amazing world building in this book, and the characters are so well developed. Each one has their own issues to face, and we get to see so much representation between them - mental health, transgender, non-binary, asexual, platonic relationships... it is such a vivid world that you'll be sad when the book comes to an end.
I cannot wait for book number 2 to find out what happens next.
