This was my first Syfy book with a VR theme. I enjoyed this story it kept me engaged and entertained. The author did a good job with the world-building. Through the use of vivid imagery, the details came to life for me. The plot was intriguing, great concepts. I do wish they had been fleshed out a bit more, there was a lot left off the table. It doesn't detract from the story, I just think that there was untapped potential. The story was well written and the flow is sound. I would recommend it to anyone who likes post-apocalyptic stories but wants something a little less intense than the norm. Also, I really liked the cover.
I’m not a big fan of sci-fi, but this was ok. If the story was supposed to confuse the reader, like Lake, then it was well written. Never could tell when she was in the Sim, or not. I had a feeling she was stuck, hiding...hiding from what, leaves me to wonder.
