In summary: Sword Art Online plot plus San Jupinero
Ernest Cline has done it again. Another great book that I didn't want to put down. If you are an Ernest Cline fan then you will enjoy this one.
In order to understand everything you should read Ready Player One before you read this book. This book picks up almost right after the 1st book finishes.
The book ends in a way that leaves Ernest an opening to continue the series (Ready Player Three anyone?). The books does also contain an hidden easter egg hunt (it is present in the physical and ebooks) which hasn't been announced (at the time of writing this review) but I'm sure it will be announced at some point with a nice prize (like Ready Player One).
I look forward to Ernest's next book (whatever it may be).
So gut der erste Teil war so schlecht ist der zweite. Spannung fehlt, viel Blabla und die Handlung ist naja. Man hätte mehr aus der Grundidee des Buches machen können. Es wirkt sehr erzwungen.
