EXP Is Golden

A fun journey into a complex game and event. It got a little stale during the meet up of minds. Felt like it was a struggle to make it through that. other than that enjoyable and fun.

Honestly, I think this series is very interesting. Seeing the world through the player collectives' online discussions about events and trying to piece together the worlds' history is unique and I haven't read anything like it before. I'm looking forward to more; I love a good large scale war/political story, but we are the bad guys. Fun stuff.

Good followup volume. I liked getting more backstory and emotional depth with Leah. Although one problem with this volume that the first didn't have was names changing. Throughout the volume, sometimes within a few pages even, character and skill names would suddenly change. The character names were often only one letter different so that wasn't a problem (Kellie/Kelli/Kelly, Riley/Liley) but the skill names changed completely at times! It made it super challenging to read and understand because some skills changed to names with nearly the same meaning as other skills and some changed to be completely unrelated/unrecognizable, thankfully there was context pointing to what it was supposed to be.
