About this listen
A thrilling new novel for fans of Sword Art Online and World of Warcraft!
In the real world, twenty-one-year-old library sciences student Tina Anderson is invisible and under-appreciated, but in the VR-game Forever Fantasy Online she's Roxxy—the respected leader and main tank of a top-tier raiding guild. Her brother, James Anderson, has a similar problem. IRL he’s a college drop-out struggling under debt, but in FFO he's famous—an explorer known all over the world for doing every quest and collecting the rarest items.
Both Tina and James need the game more than they’re willing to admit, but their escape turns into a trap when FFO becomes real. Suddenly, wounds aren’t virtual, the stupid monsters have turned cunning, and death might be forever. Separated across a much larger and more deadly world, their skill at FFO is the only thing keeping them alive. But as the harshness of their new reality sets in, Tina and James soon realize that being the best in the game is no longer good enough.

Full of challenge, twists, emotions and triumph. But Tina's parts, as interesting as it is to go into player-player interaction. It's unfortunately very repetitive. They'd resolve the same problems multiple times. Even when it looked like they'd reconcile, characters would bring it back up at the first opportunity, Tina's hard-headedness not helping. This might not have been so bad had it not been so frequent in almost all her chapters. It's not so much of an issue of characters, but with a seemingly stagnant & repeating plot. It gets frustrating rather quickly, by the later end I'd facepalm commenting "you resolved this already". The only justification is that the players aren't honourable combatants, but video game nerds. But it did grind my gears.
But, aside from the players bickering (which were short, thankfully), the story & characters really sucked me into it. And the slow reveals of how the game-world logic differed to this now real world logic. They give depth & complexity to the world, the npcs & the big baddy too. And that's just the first book. Excited for the next one.
I get why some people say it's a half a good book.
