Unfortunately, the secondary characters don't burn as brightly. They spark against each other like flint, their relationship intense and complicated. Hideo is a Japanese genius playboy worthy of Bruce Wayne's mantle. She's as fierce as Katniss, with a similar edge. Our MC, Emika, is a snarky Chinese computer whiz whose personality leaps off the page as vividly as her rainbow-colored hair. Lu has a rare command of both characters and world, with some exceptions. With a vibrant main character (not least because of her hair), a dazzling neon cyber-world with a sinister underbelly, a steamy romance, and a breakneck plot, Warcross rockets you through breathtaking rollercoaster loops and smacks you with an ending shock that leaves you clawing for more. Like the author, inside a shiny superfun rainbow package is a deviously clever core. As someone who loves video games, diverse stories, and sci-fi (but who is always desperately in search of more sci-fi books), I knew Warcross was going to be a winner. This is going to be a review of gushing, hyperbole, and adjectives. For myself, I’ll continue with this series as it goes along, because I am hooked! #bibliophile #bookstagram #instabooks #bookaholic #booksofinsta #bookworm #booknerd #booklove #bookgram #books #readersofinstagram #yalit
I plan to add this to my library to satisfy those kids looking for an action book, which tends to be one of the top requests I get. There are some references to drinking, violence, and some mild romance. But, what seems like a dream to most, ends up being a lot more complicated than Emika could have predicted.ĭo you have kids that like video games? Give them this book. Her move is so impressive, she is invited to join the actual games by the infamous creator, Hideo Tanaka. All she means to do is steal an expensive power up to sell, but she becomes famous when she inserts herself into the game. She is exceptionally talented as a hacker, and when tough times leave her no other choice, she hacks herself into the Warcross Opening Ceremony game. She has no family, no money, and depends on every bounty she can get. Emika works as a bounty hunter and tracks down people who illegally bet on the game. People in the future are obsessed with a video game called Warcross and it’s popularity has grown worldwide. This one follows Emika Chen, a girl making a living in the future as a hacker. I am not a huge video game fan, with the exception of Mario games, so I wasn’t sure how into it I’d be. I loved this one! I loved the Legend trilogy, so I was stoked when I saw this one coming out. Thanks to and Penguin Random House for a free advance digital copy in exchange for my honest review.
