There’s a good credit value per hour here, that’s for sure. It gets really annoying after times when the focus characters decide to enjoy a very narrow 25 year period of the last 550 years of music to the exclusion of all others for the sake of references. It’s bad enough I’ll not ever give it a second run as I have many other series, including ones by this author. I’d you’re a hours per credit person like myself if still recommend it, maybe not if forced references would bother you, or if you hated Ready Player One more than I did.
