4.25⭐️ - A twisting cyberpunk adventure in a sprawling dystopian world!
In a world where rising waters and raging viruses have pushed the population to abandon the real word for the virtual and where the nations of Medaluo and Atahua have been in Cold War for decades over control of the systems, two Medan orphans of the conflict must serve Atahua's NileCorp. Eirale is a recent graduate working for their private forces 'down country' (in the real world) and Lia is finishing her last year at the prestigious Nile Military Academy. As they both get pulled in new directions, they find that there's much more going in their world than they previously suspected - with circumstances pulling them on a converging path.
This was a wonderful step into a world of cyberpunk themed virtual reality - with really well thought out systems that felt true to the genre. The parallels between the struggles in that far(ish) future world and ours are stark right now and it's makes for somewhat chilling reading through that lens. The complex relationships and obvious secrets between the various groups makes for a really twisty fun ride and that trauma keeps on being loaded on them in a really compelling way.
Super fun and I'm really excited to see where Chloe takes this in the sequel (because this is a planned trilogy!) ^-^
