For most of Ready Player Two, it was a sequel I did not ask for, but I wasn't upset about until I read the last chapter.

I loved Ready Player One! It was a fun quest read with 80's and video game trivia galore! When it was announced that it was going to be a sequel, I was concerned because I had liked the first one so much.

In Ready Player Two, Wade must band together with his group of friends again to find the Seven Shards of the Siren's Soul. Early on in the book, Wade says something along the lines of now that he is not the underdog anymore, people don't root for him anymore. Wade is incredibly unlikable in the opening of this book, but it does begin to get better once they start finding the shards. The Seven Shards are spread out amongst new worlds which are really fun to read about and imagine. I got into the book and thought maybe this isn't so bad. It is very similar to Ready Player One but I still appreciate all of the trivia and pop culture references thrown in.

I then came to the last chapter. I'm not going to say anything for fear of spoiling the book, but it did make me lower my rating a full point.
