5 Stars!! I got to meet the lovely Marie Lu at BEA this year and received a signed ARC of the much anticipated Warcross. I was so excited to read this one and it did not disappoint. This felt like Ready Player One meets the Hunger Games. A YA sci-fi set in a futuristic world where gaming is a way of life. Yes, please! Readers are going to devour this!
Emika Chen is a hacker and a bounty hunter that tracks down Warcross players who bet illegally on the game. Bounty hunting is a competitive business and she is broke, about to be kicked out her apartment and soon to be living on the street when she accidentally glitches herself into the Warcross opening game. Emika is sure she will be arrested but instead she is contacted by the Warcross creator, billionaire Hideo Tanaka who flies her to Tokyo immediately and that is when her life changes.
This is fast paced and action packed with a bit of romance thown in. Marie Lu did an incredible job creating these virtual worlds that are so colorful and detailed. The only thing about receiving an early copy is now I have to wait even longer for the sequel. I would highly recommend Warcross!
