Seldom that the second installment of a book is better than the first. but the ongoing story, the added player characters and the real life background story make this even better than the first one.

Great series

I love how this series is turning out! The character development, world and story is really interesting, and i cant wait to see how it all turns out.

4 stars
Enjoyed this first book in the series, it had a good mix of in game exploring/fighting/building with just enough time IRL to give a more grounded feel to the whole book. The only problem I have with it is as a roguelike fan I prefer permadeath it just makes the novel more exciting for me. Now that may be something that the series still has coming, as I assume Devon will get trapped in game sometime and with her feeling pain, I wonder if that will kill her IRL.

Decent premise but I didn't find the characters terribly compelling and the island survival section couldn't keep my interest as I hoped.
