KU review
“This was a fun book. I am glad that I read it. You should try it too.”
I am not going to share my reasoning, thoughts on the book, or any opinions that would influence your decision to read it. I am simply saying that I liked it. I would like you to read it and make your own decision. After all, you are a much better judge of what you will like than anyone here.
I will happily discuss the book with you on Goodreads if you are so inclined. As always, I am open to debates and arguments, but also vain enough to seek acknowledgement, so feel free to roast me or applaud my efforts. Either is acceptable, because if you are paying attention to me then you are at least considering the book. And THAT my friends is exactly why you see my comments here.
Cheers

Awesome
The depth of world build and plot creation in this book is almost overwhelming, you follow the main characters through there exploration of a virtually reality game that’s made to specifically draw out the best of humanity and to improve them. A great story and I look foreword to book 2.

Good writing, bad story telling
Feels more like a collection of writing exercises rather than an actual story. Over explaining, flowered language, too wordy. I get the impression the author was just focused on trying to duplicate writing styles from classical author's from generations past, but maybe doesn't understand why books aren't written that way anymore?

Good
Sluggish at the beginning, but earns the star back at the end. I can not wait for the next book.

I have had the chance to read the book and my comments are kind of mixed. On one hand, I found the book to be very detailed, very well written and had depth to it that a lot of other books within the same genre don't always have.
However, I think that in some instances, there was too much depth, the author spent six pages talking about a car and three pages talking about the VR pods. The detail is spectacular, but be aware that some of the scenes can be wordy.
The story itself was very good. I enjoyed it, it was well written and I would definitely continue reading other books of a similar ilk. There were several scenes which made for bit of a side story and I was a bit sorry to see them end, but then the focus would return to the main story. I look forward to the next in the series.
