Much like the author's other series in this same universe, I couldn't put the book down. I read it in less than a day, and nam ot allowing myself to continue to the next couple in the series (which I have already purchased!) until I've done some thesis work. Funny, heart-warming, inclusive, action-driven, and full of fun upgrades.
Recommended for anyone into gamelit/litrpg.

I found out from Iain that there were more books by the author of Threadbare, I jumped in for the Buddy Read to read the new books. =)
Pretty sure the story takes place within the same world as Stuff & Nonsense. However, it is a whole new cast of characters and plot shenanigans. This story was not as well paced or developed as S&N. I'm a little fuzzy on what Chase looks like. I'm guessing half-elf?
I like the way AS handles the game mechanics and how his characters end up learning to use their abilities. None of the known characters are in this book but there are small mentions of them which I love. You have to be patient with this book because it does not try to hold your attention completely from the get go. It was a nice intro to a new trilogy and I am excited to see how the plot will unfold.
While reading S&N, I never thought of the book to be a kid story but I do get that vibe from this one. It reads like a YA.

Adventure changes all.
A highly entertaining chaotic mix of levels, Halven antics and some very cool small talking. It is a fun new series that really holds its own but at the same time has some hilarious hidden nods to the Threadbare series! I highly enjoyed reading it and am really looking forward to where it goes from here even if Chase is a little annoying and whiny at times.

Notes:
Really enjoyed the little training session at the beginning of the book & making of the group. A couple of interesting twists on jobs/skills and overall world information, but the story does not engage my attention well. Chase doesn't feel as well developed character as the side characters. The idea of who/what Chase is does not match in how she is in the story.
