librarianryan 's review for:
Warcross
by Marie Lu
Emika has been dealt a rough hand in life. On her own at 18, in debt, criminal record, etc. Each day is just a numbers game as she hacks her way to finding bounties that have become too much for the local police to handle. But this is not the world as we know it. This is the future. Many people live in Warcross, a gaming, social media life experience. It is to the characters generations what the cell phone was to mine. It is a way of life, but when you have been banned from computer use… well, life is complicated. In an effort to survive by theft, Emika hacks her way into the biggest digital sporting event in the world. And gets caught. You would think this makes her a convict, and instead it makes her a celebrity. She gets to meet the young founder of the Warcross, and to play in the annual Warcross Games celebration. This is just the start of a wild and crazy novel with a cliffhanger ending that will leave you screaming NOOOOOOOO. MUST HAVE NEXT BOOK!
This book is part Ready Player One, with a similar world, but very different execution and story line. It’s also part Hackers (the young Angelina Jolie movie). Plus a little Speed Racer. If that sounds like a wild and crazy mix, then you are correct. It is a joyride. Yes, it has a romance that sometimes overshadows the bigger plot, but really it’s Baymax and Big Hero 6 to the rescue. Adventure, danger, and broken hearts await, but what a ride.
