WELCOME TO NANOLAND, where all your dreams can come true. But when those dreams turn deadly, it's up to a group of unlikely heroes to save the day. Nanoland brings legendary filmmaker Frank Nano's creative vision to life on an island off the coast of Florida. Visitors flock from around the globe to see colossal prehistoric beasts, ride living roller coasters, and battle in the Cosmic Coliseum. After ten years of playing a Nano Princess, Alicia Amandi's career is going nowhere fast. But when the attractions around her begin to attack the guests, she must use her unique skills and knowledge to lead a small band of survivors to safety. As the group navigates the perils of a park gone rogue, they discover the dark side of movie magic and the hidden legacy of Nanoland's enigmatic founder. The man who brought their dreams to life may have sealed their doom. Will Alicia and her companions untangle the secrets of Nanoland in time to escape? Or will they become prisoners of a world where fantasy and reality blur? Dream big, nanofans, cause this dream might be your last.

#ItTakesAllKinds #WithMap @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs
A high-voltage sci-fi adventure story in a Disneyland-like amusement park of the future. The computer programming starts to glitch increasingly, pixel-holes, a few hushed-up attacks & accidents happen. Soon the AI goes fully awry and the remaining guests and staff of the park have to fight for their lives against attractions turned unpredictable & murderous to find a way out of the madhouse.

Yuki_Onna Continued:
You could feel how much fun the author had with telling the story of the things going, a bit like a kid in a candy shop, but after a while, it was just too goofy and stupid. There were tons of inconsistencies. And sorry, no one, no matter how loyal or brainwashed or partially incorporated by the park you were, would act that way when people are starting to get killed. No. No way. ...

Yuki_Onna continued:
There were so many instances where I just rolled my eyes because it just doesn't work that way, at least not on paper.
Maybe this would work better as a Hollywood blockbuster movie where all is action & nothing needs to make sense anymore.
Where were the editors on this one? This book is so promising – it could have been enhanced to a whole another level by a tough round of editing!

The ending with its very sinister twists redeems the goofy middle part a little, and, as I said, it was a fast ride! 3,5/5⭐
