Extremely confusing. I've read all the author's books set in this universe - the original Threadbare trilogy, Small Medium, and the prequels - and still couldn't follow what was going on. There are too many characters, doing too many things, for no reason I could understand; the structure is a mess, to the point there was no real storyline; and, of course, literally the last ten percent of the book is lists of skills. The author really swung and missed with this one; I hope he does better in the next installment, because this was Not a good book.

12/13/21 Notes:
The first half is a slow setup for most likely a trilogy arc. The last half was much more of what I would call a Threadbare adventure. I enjoyed the last half a lot! That bumped up the rating from 3 to 4 stars. Interesting new characters, more politics than I had wanted and a few glimpses of the game mechs.

Series combine!
I had some moments of pure delight in this book with the combinations going on as well as the joining of the series. I cannot wait to see where it goes and for more of this trilogy to come out. Whilst the initial joy was there the reduced feeling of fulfilment by seeing the reduced growth in Threadbare and the changes within Celia were saddening. Yet at the same time they were portrayed very well with a very realistic pull from within. I could see so many possibilities in the future paths I really am looking forward to where it goes from here.
