Might be a bit spoilery so readers beware!
It’s been well over 6 months since I binged books 1-5. I don’t have a good reason as to why I sometimes take long breaks. I got to book 6 and stopped for a bit halfway through so I can’t really remember many of my likes or dislikes in the first few books. I do remember being annoyed a bit in some of the earlier books, but can’t quite remember why. I’m glad I stuck it out though and definitely wish this story would have gone just a bit longer. The end of the series is a very long war arc, which…story wise makes sense, but kinda wish there wasn’t a “end of the world” or time limit to this story. Would have been cool to experience Oren and the rest of the players just….playing a bit. That could have been a much better epilogue Oren wise. Epilogues(this one is 26 minutes) always seems so rushed in my opinion. I want to know more about how everything ends for all the characters and what they are doing now. Orens ending is definitely a happy one but it’s so damn quick and not really touched on. What about him and Vic meeting up again?
Well who knows….that could happen in the next series Biomancer. I haven’t started it yet, but its in the same VR world with a new MC after the events of this book. Narration was great considering it was Jeff Hayes and some of the other SBT folks.
Was a bit of a rocky start and had some in between areas that were annoying but if this is your type of genre then just stick with it, you’ll most likely enjoy it.
