I love this game for the beginning and couldn't stop playing until I completed it. I was shocked to discover the true killer behind her father's death and was satisfied with everything.
When the game ended with her sacrificing herself to save the world I almost cried but was so glad she didn't actually die and took over her family business. I just hope she would do a few more adventures and that the series wouldn't end there.

The Accidental World is one of the more unique stories I have read of late
The Accidental World is one of the more unique stories I have read of late. Ethan Scott is thrust into a world of intrigue in an alternate world where the only lifelines he has are the vague instructions left to him by his grandfather before his disappearance and the board game that he has played since he was a child. There are those who help him along the way, but there are always more questions than answers and he has a role to play.

On the surface this seems like a tropey Y A novel with an unlikely hero who is thrust into the role of savior (yada yada), but it is really such a well written imaginative world that comparisons like that fall by the wayside in favor of well paced and exciting adventure. The book is packed full of interesting characters who engage the reader full throttle. In my mind it played out just like a movie, especially the gaming sequences and the action near the end.

The cliffhanger ending has me wanting to return to this world and these characters to see what happens next.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Martin does a good enough job with his world-building, but the sprawling nature of this story makes it a tough book to put down without having to really re-familiarize yourself with what's going on. Also, pretty much any character you grow attached to will end up dying.
