I really enjoyed the second book of this series. The author has taken the time to build relatable characters so that the reader has a vested interest in the outcome of the story. The AI in the story is well personified and the growth and development of the AI is an interesting, if recurring, concept. The narration was well performed and characters are easily identified due to the narrator’s competent ability to give unique voices to each primary character. I enjoyed that the story does not revolve around a person being “stuck” in the game and that the struggles experienced by each character go beyond leveling and impossible odds. Everyone has shown personal growth and moral questioning or just the evolution in who and what they want to be inside and outside of the game. The ending presented a good “cliffhanger” that was foreshadowed well throughout the storyline. Game mechanics and stats were well presented and did not take away from the story. Overall it was an enjoyable story that I binged through.
