Oh man. The best thing about this book was the game descriptions. I so wish they were real games. And while it's impossible to separate the hype at this point, I didn't really like this! I thought the characters were flat and manipulative, the plot was meandering and showy/unsubtle, and the voice (omniscient? I guess?) baffling. I connected to sweet Marx at first until the incident in the last third which felt ridiculous. This didn't work for me but I really want to play those fictional games! And ah but: That Pioneers section! I wish the whole book had been that brave. One other thought: Merrily We Roll Along but video game designers.

Lovely story and perfect for people who love/care about video games, more focused on friendship rather than love. Some parts were a bit slow, but not completely boring.
