great performances all-around by Annie Ellicott and Jeff Hayes. masters at what they do. The story itself is a decent LITRPG start with enough intrigue sprinkled in to keep you engaged. It doesn’t overload the reader with technical information but keeps proper elements for it to be considered one of the genre. The pacing is good and the main character is likable enough but her personality is somewhat lacking. Overall a great starter book to this genre.
