I Loved Every Second!
This book was my introduction to the LitRPG genre, and I don't think I could have chanced upon a better first! The story is wonderful, and the RPG elements served to draw me deeply into Quinn's world. I love magical library/bibliophile stories, and I am an old computer RPG player; so what's not to love in this adventure?

Absolutely Amazing
To call this a psychological thriller is an understatement. At times, this can be down right traumatic, but oh my goodness is it ever satisfying.
I cannot say more without spoiling it, but if you love this genre like I do, you have got to read this. Naturally, I will be reading the rest of this series
