This book is targeted to young adult readers, and I believe that for the age group it was spot on in terms of the narrative and plot development. The idea of being stuck inside a game has appeared in many books, movies, and other forms of media. However, Velde writes from a vantage point that is a fresh take on an old idea.
She cleverly combines fantasy, futuristic ideas, and the familiarity of tales of knighthood to draw the reader in. I was captivated by her characters and their development throughout the story. Every time the game reset, it was as if I was Giannie in her frustration to reach the end alive. I applaud the well-crafted writing and entertaining plot. This is a good book for all ages, even I was entertained reading it as a college student. My rating: 4/5 stars
