Return to the series BuzzFeed compared to Ready Player One in the second book in a new fast-paced trilogy from New York Times bestselling authors Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller that's perfect for fans of HBO's Westworld. Simon saved his best friend, Kat, from the clutches of the Company and their high-tech VR gaming experience, Otherworld. But it was at a steep price. Now he, Kat, and their friend Busara are on the run. They know too much. About the Company's dark secrets. About the real-life consequences of playing Otherworld. And about Kat's stepfather's involvement in everything. The group is headed to New Mexico to find Simon's old roommate, who is a tech genius and possibly the only person who can help them reveal the truth about the Company before it's too late and the line between what's real and what's fantasy is erased . . . forever. Imagine a future in which you can leave reality behind and give in to your greatest desires. That future is now. And the future is terrifying. Praise for Otherworld A New York Times Bestseller "A potent commentary on how much we're willing to give up to the lure of technology." --EW.com "A fantastic journey from start to finish." --Hypable.com "An engaging VR cautionary tale." --AV Club "Full of high stakes, thrillers, and fantastic twists and turns, fans of Ready Player One are sure to love this addictive read." --BuzzFeed

I really thought this and the first one, Otherworld, were both really interesting. OMG that cliffhanger though!!!! Recommended if you like books dealing with virtual reality.
4/5 stars

Picking up immediately after the events of the last book, we dive right back into the world of Simon, Kat, and an enemy so evil it's just The Company. This installment did a great job of adding definition to both the worlds, real and virtual, and the new and fleshed out supporting characters play important roles. Overall, a lean and action filled bridge to the third book.

I might be weird, but I feel like notice that there's going to be another book after this is good to know before starting this second book in the series... (what with duologies being popular recently)

Hannah_Haymond Good to know! I just picked this up at the library and curious to see where it goes. 6y
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I really enjoy this series, despite the semi-massive cliffhanger at the end of this one... 🙄 but it helped knowing before I started that there would be another book. 6y
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @Hannah_Haymond Interested to see what you think! 6y
Hannah_Haymond @BookHoarder32 Really enjoyed it! And I had avoided spoilers and was pleasantly surprised by that ending. 6y
