Quite an interesting book but it’s different from other LitRPG/GameLit books. It felt like it was targeted toward a younger audience. The language was clean and while there was combat it wasn’t very graphic. Its length did make things feel a bit rushed toward the end.
This book is the first in a series of three interrelated books. Each book follows one of three sisters that enter the game together. For the most part the action in the three books is happening concurrently. I didn’t realize how things tied together until I finished the second book. It’s actually a brilliant concept for a series.
Due to a glitch when the girls entered the game there is very little feedback from the system UI. This results in an almost complete absence in the recitation of stats and other game notifications. I don’t know how I feel about that. I like the game-like nature of LitRPG and like Jessica I felt a bit lost.
Having a female main character was quite refreshing too. Almost all the LitPRG books I have listened too have a male main character and the female characters can seem somewhat two dimensional. The main character was also quite a bit smarter than is normal for LitRPG.
The narrator did a good job with the voices. Each character had a distinct sound and I could feel the action when she read it. My only gripe was that she spoke a bit slow for my taste. I changed the speed of my player to 1.1 and this solved that issue.
Overall this is a great start to a truly unique adventure.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
