3.5 because I adore Jen Wang's style too much

While I am not a gamer, it was really refreshing to see a teenage girl interested in Dungeons and Dragons, guilds, and everything dominated by neckbeards. Yes, girls can be geeks AND super badass, it's not impossible or out of the ordinary! And the subtle commentary on capitalism and its pitfalls is A+++.

I saw that this was adapted from a short story by Doctorow. BRB hunting that down!
