Pros - If you thought Ready Player One had too many straight white dudes - this is your fix. A strong cyber-reality/nostalgia hit with a smart, female, Chinese-American protagonist. Diverse cast. Good world building. Cons - Descriptions get repetitive. The protagonist has rainbow hair. And tattoos. This gets mentioned CONSTANTLY. Feels like this book could have used another editing pass. Hard time believing the romance subplot. Overall: Worth a try!
