This one was hard to get into. But stick with it. It will be worth it. You should have some knowledge of video games. Otherwise, it would be really hard to follow.

Moderate: Violence

There is a shooting in an office related to some LGBTQ+ issues. If that is a trigger for you, you may want to skip that part of the book. It won't significantly ruin the story.

I liked it but felt it was too long. Narrators we're good. Several disturbing death scenes. I have a new curiosity about gaming as I'm not a gamer, I thought the reasons people love games and making them was so well done.
