I had a really hard time trying to invest in these characters. Honestly they all suck but maybe that’s the point? It also felt like a person that’s never played video games wrote a book about video games.

Good lighthearted book. Super slow start and honestly put me in a reading rut after but I have no complaints other than that.

Very classic Indiana jones type book if Indiana jones was a damsel in distress type character. The setting made the book very interesting and the author does a good job transporting you into that world. I didn’t feel super invested in the main character but maybe we will get more character development in the next book.

Wow. Can't believe this happened in real life. Such a terrible smear in americas history and it's rarely talked about. Did read like a textbook and could have ended 2-3 chapters before it actually ended but otherwise a very informative read.
