A fantasy of a virtual world, and a game that brings people together. A story of a girl that struggles to pay her rent, and her ability to hack the most important game of the year – Warcross. And when the creator of Warcross hires her, needing her help – she begins her adventure.
From the first moment that I read the synopsis of Warcross, I knew I wanted to have this book on my shelf and read it immediately. A couple of reasons stand behind this story:
-
A girl is a main character, and a fierce one. As boring it might seem, I love a book with brave characters, especially if it’s a teen girl. I think when girls are featured as brave and fearless in books, it gives encouragement to a lot of girls reading the book, that are struggling through their teenage years.

I am a vivid video games player. I play a lot of games, and this is something you might not have known about me. Feel free to ask me anything in the comments. I love the gaming community, and I believe that if it weren’t for the video games, I wouldn’t be who I am today.

If you haven’t read it, you have all probably heard about Ready Player One. I absolutely loved it, and watched the movie, and I am still in love with it. And when book reviewers started comparing Warcross to Ready Player One, I had to see if this was true. I just had to check for myself.
I’ve heard so many good things about this book. Need to get myself a copy.
yess, you should! I hope you enjoy it!
Heard some great things about this book. I’ve managed to collect like 5 books by this author but haven’t read any of them yet – oops haha! But I\m really excited to read one of her books, maybe this one, hopefully soon. lovely review!

Excellent review! This isn’t something I would normally pick up for myself but I’ve been curious about this one since I first saw its cover and I continue to see readers rave about it.
Great review! This sounds interesting.
Thank you!
I’ve seen this book popping up everywhere and I’m glad you mentioned it’s not like Ready Player One, which I honestly did not enjoy. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
