Absolutely loved listening to this book!
Normally, I bounce between the kindle version and the audible depending on where I’m reading (driving in car vs a quiet moment at lunch), but with this book, I ended up walking around in headphones all day just to keep it going.
On content/plot: this was a pretty decent blend of two worlds, each with their own stories going on, told from two cooperative viewpoints. You have the post-apocalyptic world full of infected “zombies” with our survivors huddled together in an underground shelter. Then you have the VR world, which is pretty standard fantasy, but done pretty well, with NPCs showing concern over the sudden loss of players, and our two protagonists experiencing the world differently (standard hero vs dark race just trying to survive)
The Voices: the two main narrators were amazing, and the tonal shifts and emotion added so much to an already decent story. You can hear the smile and joy in Laurie Winkle’s voice and it made it nearly impossible not to fall in love with Shari just a little bit.
I’ll stop rambling now. Just make sure to grab this book the next time you want to walk around laughing to yourself and confusing the people around you.
