![]() ![]() ![]() I didn’t find that Wildcard had enough of this and I was constantly having to stop reading to try to figure out what was happening to the characters. One of the key aspects of compelling fantasy or sci-fi novels (for me) is that they make sure to include something from our contemporary world to ground us in this alternate reality or future. There was just too much jumping into the Dark World, Darkcross, Warcross games, etc and we are expected to keep up with something that doesn’t really have a real life comparison to ground us. I also really wanted to know more about Zero (he was the most compelling character to me). While you can read my full review of Warcross here, basically while I liked Emi and the concept of the book, I wasn't a fan of Hideo and didn't buy the whole "make the world good by mindcontrol" thing (it was all very rushed), which is why I was interested to see where its sequel, Wildcard, would go. When Warcross came out last year, I was so excited to read about this futuristic sci-fi world where people can physically play this game by the end of the book, I was a bit more undecided about my feelings. ![]()
