Municipal the only place on earth where you can be anyone. Anyone from your favourite movies, books, tv shows, comics, video games or any cult media you can imagine. This is not virtual reality. This is real. Tina Lockhart arrives at the City to do exactly that, and is willing to pay any price to get in, willing to take the Elixir drug she needs just to breathe the air, and willing to kill, and risk being killed, just to survive. Municipal the only place on earth where you can do anything. Anything can be replicated, given the right technology, and anything can be done as long as you follow the rules of the game. But someone isn’t playing by the rules. Someone is murdering players in the safe zones, something that should be impossible. As dangerous as this is for Tina Lockhart, things get worse as she becomes the one accused of these killings, and Tina desperately needs to find the truth in her world of cult fiction.
Who would have thought that living in a city where you can be any character from a book, video game, tv or movie, where you're surrounded by other people who are super cool characters too, where all you have to do all day is either watch or play anything you want in your apartment, or go for coffee-flavoured-coffees in a retro cafe and talk crap with your friends all day, or go live in a video game for a couple of weeks, or live in a book for the rest of your life, would be sooo awesome! I want to live in this book dammit! Hey, yeah, do you think the authors's will write their own book into the book? That in Municipal City there's a land called "Cult Fiction" and the characters of that book can go inside and live in their own book? Mind.... blown! There has to be a sequel, right? Ready to play again! Woo!
I'm not great with book reviews, so read this carefully. I liked the book. It was really entertaining and engaging. I would recommend it. Now, I got the ebook version from Amazon Spain in english. Needless to say my first language is Spanish and my English is quite academic, but this version I got, it kind of disappointed me. I came across to Gondolf couple times, Gandolf some others but never Gandalf (the right one). Gramatical errors such as suisite instead of suicide or complement instead of compliment. I can understand couple typos here and there, but finding those were kind of unnerving. Enough rant. Again, the story is nice and would recommend.
Wonderfully written book. The story flows naturally, with interesting, likeable characters. The plot is always easy to follow but totally unpredictable. Anyone who's had a favour book, movie, tv series, or game will find a highly enjoyable and rewarding read.
