I'm not normally a fan of videogames but this one was a surprise. It was refreshing to be pulled in not only by the game but for the story itself and the philosophy behind it. It's not however a game for everyone due to its extreme violence, therefore more suitable for adults and people that don't mind being faced with an imperfect society and the prohlems that come with it. I also lived the fact that the main character is not only an outsider ( a feeling that most of us are familiar with) but is female which opens the market for a whole new wave of players that are often tired of a male dominated industry.

All right, so the high school crap was taken care of. Kate was being a passive-aggressive douchecanoe and Curran was being the stereotypically boring alpha male and they called each other out on it, which is awesome.

I really don't want to give away the plot because it's a doozy. I loved this book and the only real complaint I have is Kate's internalized misogyny. I'm referring to the "slut" and "bimbo" comments. Come on, Kate! The only bimbo is Curran!

I also really enjoyed the Frienship between Andrea and Kate and hope it's explored more in the next book. It's really nice to see female leads in UF who like and respect their fellow women and don't think they're evil whores out to steal their man.
