This book was great, and I look forward to the next books, and continue to experience Ned’s journey as he fleshes out the world and its secrets.
My only critique is that the author does not use any variation in dialogue tags, to the the degree of using “said” in incorrect context. It was safe, but repetitive to the point it harms and broke reader engagement.
Overall, if you have any background in MMOs, I would recommend this series in a heartbeat. It doesnt shy away from MMO jargon, and I appreciated that greatly.
For his first published book, the author knocked it out of the park. Keep it up!
