Summary
It's February 29, 2020, and Nova Negrahnu cannot wait to start playing Solarversia, a year-long game based in a virtual world that's modeled on the real-world solar system. Given three lives, three vehicles, and told to master the Science of Solarversia to stand a chance of winning, players compete against 100 million people for the £10m grand prize and a place in the history books.
Solarversia starts three months before Nova's A-levels, the life-changing exams that could see her win a place at Nottingham, the university that Charlie attends, the second-year student she falls for on an open-day visit. As she strains to balance her addiction to the game with her mounting schoolwork, Nova's world is unexpectedly turned upside down when the Holy Order, a mysterious cult-like organization sets its sights on the game and Spiralwerks, its creator.

Derivative fluff
There is nothing new or clever here.
Another narrator credit for Peter Kenny, but he's done better work.

Peter Kenny brings Solarversia to life
I am a huge Toby Downton and Solarversia fan. It's a fantastic story that shows a new side of virtual reality and the dire consequences a year long game can have.

Great!
Really interesting story, and I love this narrator. I did find that most of the puzzles were ridiculously simple, and so lacked the ability to engage the reader/listener. I also think that it could've been done better by including more detail about the puzzles and rounds, and a few more stories about the mythology behind the game. But overall I really enjoyed it

Not recommended
makes no sense and even when trying to explain something in the book it sounds as if it's added as an after thought. voices are annoying and made me cringe. only reason I tried this book is because the author tweeted me to try it.

Such a disappointment!
I love Peter Kenny's narration but this content was no where near his talents.
The story was repetitive and predictable. Sadly the end lacked the gravitas of some of its contemporaries when faced with the questions of technology overtaking humankind's evolution.
