Okay first off, one of my friends recommended this book to me-I already knew of it before she mentioned it to me, though-because I had recommended a book to her and oh my gosh, I cannot say thank you to her enough. (If you can’t tell, this is one of those times). I think my new thing should be going into books blind, because the two times that I have done that, I have absolutely loved the books. I read this one in a few hours because it was so fun. It is a good mix of adventure, video games, and Emika is a great female lead. I am not going to spoil the ending, but it has happened in a Doctor Who episode and a certain movie that just had a sequel this year.īesides the ending, I had a lot of fun with this one.

I really enjoyed this one, except the ending. It gets even more complicated the closer she grows to Tanaka. He is the target because he is about to launch the latest version of his glasses to get into the game.Įmika is going to enter a world of teamwork, of competition, and may lose her life in the process. He hires Emika to not only play the game, but to find out who is coming after him. Tanaka recognizes that someone is trying to destroy his game and it is happening from the inside. Chen is a hacker and a bounty hunter.Īs she is watching the finals, she hacks into the game and is seen by everyone including the creator of the game- Hideo Tanaka. Each year, the finals of the game attract everyone who plays including Emika Chen. Everyone either plays or watches Warcross. Warcross is a virtual game that has taken over the world.

It is difficult not to draw comparisons between the two, but Warcross stands well on its own. I have been looking for a book with a similar spin and the good news is Warcross is that book. It was a great mix of video games, dystopia, and adventure. One of my favorite books from the last few years was the book Ready Player One.
