A LitRPG novella and first in a series, that follows one of the AI characters within a game. It introduces a good amount of decent ideas involving fighting the characters programming, the prejudices against the “players” and general ins and outs of the game. I liked the world and most of the setup, but thought some of the characters feelings and general connection felt a little rushed. It could have benefited from some more time to establish the relationships and feelings, the romance was really forced to me.
The narration by Andrea Parsneau was great. Loved her voices for Maddie and the supporting cast, also really liked a creatures voice deep into the story. Overall it was a book that piqued my interest and am looking forward to the continuing story, and fleshed out world.
