As a person who barely liked Ready Player One, I fell into this book thinking it was a sequel. I'm not sure why I thought that but it is not. It is also not even as goodâreally not good. The story takes much to long to get the heart of it and I always had a sneaking suspicion that the facts told weren't the whole truth. I was right and we are left with an unsatisfying end that tries everything it has to be Ender's Game. This book also clearly needed an editor as there are continuity issues and very poor character development of the periphery characters, but RPO suffered from the latter as well. I won't be reading any more Ernest Cline books. Ender's game is a great book; go read that instead.
