This is the first book I’ve read/listened to by these authors and I can’t wait to listen to another. In fact, I already have more waiting in my library. Despite not listening to the previous books, I had no issues getting into or understanding this story.
The book centres around Jessica as she attempts to find her sisters, after they have all become trapped in the game. She gains the help of other players and characters in the game. I’ve read other RPG books, but this is the first one to be outlined like a real game. Jessica’s stats are commented on, her training levels increase and quests pop up upon the completion of other quests or tasks. I’m not a gamer and do not fully understand all the terms etc. I’ve played only one game (Elder Scrolls), and this book is very reminiscent of it without going into details that are over my head. The storyline flows very well, is an easy, uncomplicated listen, and does not seem forced when mingled with the game stats, etc.
This is the first book I’ve listened to by this narrator (Suzanne Barbetta) and I look forward to listening to another. She did a great job voicing all the characters and helped draw me into the book.
There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.
