As good as it is that the world-building was great in this one, the lack of development of the characters does seem to have a negative effect. I mean, of course, we want to like the characters whose stories we read. I'm still glad this was a good enough read for you. Nice review, girl! <br /><br />Sarika @ <a href="http://thereaddicts.blogspot.in/" rel="nofollow">The Readdicts</a>The Readdictshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05097650583426983309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-85508189065201646632015-03-04T22:25:45.965+01:002015-03-04T22:25:45.965+01:00Ah, it's a shame the originality here has star...Ah, it's a shame the originality here has started to slip as the series continued and that things have started to reach the more so typical or clichéd aspect. But it still seems like a decent enough book, and virtual realities always intrigue me.<br /><br />Check out my review: http://olivia-savannah.blogspot.nl/2015/03/insanity-review.htmlOlivia's Catastrophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706765857201768908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-41150503029798435992015-03-04T01:31:42.994+01:002015-03-04T01:31:42.994+01:00Hah, funny how you say the plausibility is there, ...Hah, funny how you say the plausibility is there, because it is! Even at this moment we are living in a virtual world. We need something, we google it. We want to talk to someone, we chat with them on facebook. Need movies? It's on iTunes! And it will continue to evolve over time. To think the 2000s was a different world compared to today and that was 15 years ago! Sad about the lack of connection with the characters, though. I had the same problem actually with the first series of this world... the MC just made me see red and it was so hard to connect to them at all.<br /><br />Faye at <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato</a>Faye M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482378962410177583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-59361513473517151432015-03-03T15:49:30.205+01:002015-03-03T15:49:30.205+01:00I read the first book in her prior series and felt...I read the first book in her prior series and felt kind of the same.
