This is an intricate storyline, with hidden memories holding Ryley back. However, although hints are given throughout the book, you never quite know for sure until it is laid out for you. Along with Ryley, you have two very strong characters in Vic and Asher. Vic, of course, played a part in book one, but Asher is new to this book. He is the perfect foil for Ryley, even if he is very laid back!!!
All in all, I loved how this story was told, and I honestly can't wait for book 3 - Vic's story. I want to know what's going on with Cam, and can't remember if it went into detail in book 1, so I may just have to re-read to see ;)
With no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading, this book was brilliantly written, with a strong character base and equally strong world building. There is no second book dip with this one, and I highly recommend it.

With this I just felt bored.
In Ashley too episode there was nothing on offer at all, cyrus's acting was wooden and unconvincing, the story was throughly unbelievable, and yes some fiction can be unbelievable. But this was just too mainstream in a way.
Striking vipers was just weird in the wrong way, virtual cheating i mean come on are we supposed to think that's all good.
Smithereens was probably the best of them all but that's not saying much.
Essentially enforcing the idea that social media is to blame for all the worlds evils.
They need to do much better for season 6 and bring black mirror back to its terrifying best.
F for effort

The game itself is really fun, plenty of game play and then when you finish the main story, before the big fight with Bowser, you can go back and finish collecting Moons and outfits or souvenirs. After the first time, when you go to play again I found that I couldn't actually remember what had happened so I enjoyed going through the story again and kind of cheating my way through the bits I did remember, like hidden moons I couldn't find. There's some boss levels I hated, like the Metro City worm thing and the damn rabbits! But they just made me want to defeat them more lol. Good game. Makes me want to get Paper Mario too if its anywhere as good as this!
