With our current technology, I think it would be possible. But I’m seriously hoping that we can have this kind of gaming in the future. I think it also helps that I’m familiar with some online (strategy) games like Warcross. I have to admit that some of the coding and tech-related stuff didn’t make sense to me but it’s totally fine because I wasn’t focusing on those things. I love that this book is written from Emika’s perspective.

I loved the details and even though the concept (of Warcross) is not that unique, the author still did an excellent job on creating her own distinctive story. The futuristic world that the author has created using her excellent style of writing is very fascinating and impressive. I would love to know more about the side characters especially Hamilton, Roshan and Zero. I loved the chemistry between Emika and Hideo but it’s totally okay with me even without their romance. He somehow reminded me of Light Yagami (Death Note) during the last part of the story. I loved the mystery that surrounds his personality. He’s the young billionaire behind the virtual reality game Warcross. Now let’s swoon over talk about Hideo Tanaka. Her decision at the end made me love her even more. I love her determination and for not being afraid of who she is. I love her rainbow dyed hair (that I wish I can also have), her sleeve tattoos (and they’re meanings) and the fact that she’s a bounty hunter and a very skilled hacker. From different ethnicities to LGBTQ+ community and not to mention a character with disability.Įmika Chen, the main character, is definitely my favorite.

One of the things that I love about this book is that it has a very diverse cast of characters. I’m not usually into sci-fi novels but this book was an exemption and I’m really glad that I gave it a try.

At first, I couldn’t help comparing it to Sword Art Online (which I totally love) but Warcross is so much more. So I was quite expecting a lot from this book and even though I didn’t give it a perfect 5-rating, I wasn’t disappointed at all. I haven’t read any books of Marie Lu before but I’ve been hearing so many great things about her works.
