The main character has a traumatic background that might be upsetting.

Lots of fun nerd references including classic literature, mythology, lord of the rings, larp, d&d and a sprinkling of internet memes. I really enjoyed this book esp the second half.
Despite the fun plot & setting the tone of the book is kept grounded by the main characterShe has Trauma from childhood and it affects her in the present. I don't have ptsd but I am somewhat familiar with it. This seems like decent representation and it results in a nicel layered character.

Moderate: Violence, Confinement, Toxic relationship, Alcohol, Blood, Injury/Injury detail, and Kidnapping

I received an ARC of Questland by Carrie Vaughn through #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoyed this book. I kept on expecting real magic to show up - I don't think it's a spoiler to say that it doesn't.
Some fun geeky nostalgia, and I'd enjoy spending more time with these characters.

I was primed to enjoy this, but I ended up underwhelmed. Questland delivered on the fun concept and had pretty decent characters (I liked Addie a lot more than I thought I would, actually; her relatability felt authentic instead of built on tropes), but the plot was a bit boring and predictable. I think this may have worked better either as a shorter novella where the worldbuilding was the star, or as a longer novel with a more complicated plot.
