This is an interesting take on a LARP virtual game, in the near future: it has nice mysteries, action, magic, concept & character interplay + you come to care about what happens to Jason ( The main Character ) & others. The real world part is to long & a bit boring: but necessary to explain Jasons motivations & why he can do extraordinary things. Some things are solved in this book & others are left to other books: but all in all the book has an end.
Performance is some what good & the different accents blend some what, when many are in 1 scene.
Character powers & progression; is too simple & they should have a lot more abilities / spells.
