penguinarae's review

So incredibly slow. I tried to read this for 10 years. Finally sat down and no, now there’s selling credit card numbers and the Russian mob is kidnapping someone. Infodumps aplenty that I don’t care about and seem completely unrelated to the plot. I don’t care about any of the characters, who are unlikeable at best. Finally looked at a summary of the last few pages and apparently it turns into a bunch of Die Hard movies all at once. No Thank You.

Graphic: Gun violence, Murder, Cursing, and Kidnapping

Super tech heavy and an invented MMORPG features heavily. Obsessive amounts of lore may/may not be important to the plot.
