This book is a not half-bad little thing, but if you haven't played Nier Automata a lot of it won't make sense; fan favorite characters show up, systems aren't always explained but you would infer if you had played the game, and the like. The writing style is really fast paced, sometimes a bit too fast since it feels like the reader never gets a chance to really get to know these characters. It almost has a fanfic-esque quality to it but some of the humor did make me grin.

Would I recommend this for somebody looking for a book and world to engulf themselves in? Not really. But would I recommend it for somebody who just really wants more Nier Automata? Sure, why not! Just don't expect too much, it's few little golden moments and lines don't truly outshine the average majority.
