I had certain expectations when starting the serious, and before every book. some were met, others were not. what makes this book really good is the fact that even some unmet expectations were replaced my excellent plotlines in arc. additionally I love the humor and the gimification elements. Miller doesn’t joke much when he’s writing, but when he does he makes an excellent work of it. he also takes realistic fight elements found in good computer games and portrays them as perhaps not a soldier but a gamer would, but still very realistically. kudos on a job very well done.
