The main premise (that a video game is real) has been done before, and done better. What made this different, and a little interesting, was the interjection of Caribbean and African mythology. Even better? The back matter for readers who want to learn more about the inspirations.

1. anti-capitalist message snuck in there. lol dogecoin, bitcoin, etc.
2. a little bit of representation in a lot of little and big ways. it's refreshing to have a crew of heroes in YA be all POC. not to mention there's representations of disability that buck the stereotypes.
3. MAGIC. wild and amazing creatures.
4. this is the first release for the black sheep imprint. I love their mission of reverse gentrifying the book world.
5. it's my kid-friend T approved.
