Thanks to Macmillan Books for the free advance copy of this book.
- THE MARVELOUS is THE WESTING GAME filtered through social media, and I loved every second of it. Kann's fictional app nails the taxonomy of influencers, particularly when talking about what it takes to make it big.
- The central riddle and mystery was quite fun to try to solve along with the players, especially given that most of the characters were playing with hidden motives or only sharing partial information.
- It did take me a bit to be able to keep straight who was who since there are a lot of characters and we go from their usernames to their real names fairly quickly. But once I got a handle on that, I was in for the ride, strange clues, shifting loyalties, potential romances and all.
