Jessica’s Challenge Book 5 of the Puatera Online series by Dawn Chapman (and this particular book also by Jess Mountifield) was SO much fun! Often with some of these LitRPG books, I find myself a getting a little lost and/or bored while listening. That was definitely not the case with this quick listen. Jessica and her sisters break into their mother’s lab and, well, they glitch and get thrown into an online game with no way out. Only thing is, they aren’t together. So not only do they have to try and find a way out of the game and back to their own reality, but they also are going at it alone and they really need to find their sisters to make sure they don’t leave anyone behind. This was a super fun, easy to listen to book and I’d say that it wasn’t too technical and doesn’t get too bogged down with details so even non-gamers should enjoy it. I’m definitely looking forward to listening to the previous books in the series as well as Book 6, Dahlia’s Shadow, to find out what happened to Jessica’s sister Dahlia!!
Suzanne Barbetta did a great job narrating Jessica’s story and she brought all of the characters, even the NPC’s (non-playable characters, otherwise known as already programmed, non-human players) to life. I breezed through this book one evening while making dinner and cleaning around the house beforehand. I’d definitely recommend it if it sounds interesting to you! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher for an honest review.
