Not being a gamer I am fascinated at how I struggled with this story in both good and negative ways. In the end author Alexis Hall makes you keep reading and I would almost say despite the huge game part throughout this whole book and that I believe is a huge accomplishment. For me I personally noticed that I really was lifted up by the “not game” action by all the interactions between Kit and Drew but also Drew’s friends.īoth men struggle through things, trying to do what they want, what they feel themselves and what is expected from them, not only from others but also from their own hearts. HoL is a big part of the book but you can feel within that, the story of Drew and Kit and their friends. And that is exactly what kept me going through the story instead of not finishing it. I really liked the underlying message and interaction in this story, not only between both main characters, Drew and Kit, but definitely also their “guild”. In this story though, gaming is not a little part, it is a huge part of the story. I have read different stories that had game elements or internet elements in them and have really enjoyed them. I am not a gamer and I knew that going into this story that the story was about that, so I am not using that as an excuse. How do I explain what it was that made it definitely not a bad book but also not a great book for me. How I struggled with this book! And still days after I finished I am still searching for the words to put in a review. About how I messed up some stuff and figured out some stuff.

I know he has friends in the guild, but he has me now, and my friends, and everyone knows people you meet online aren’t real. Except sometimes I think Kit-that’s his name, sorry I didn’t mention that-spends way too much time in HoL. But the joke’s on them because I still really like him.Īnd now that we’re together, it’s going pretty well.

And they thought it was even more hilarious when she turned out to be a boy IRL. Of course, my mates thought it was hilarious I was into someone I’d met online. Anyway, there was this girl in my guild who I really liked because she was funny and nerdy and a great healer. I’m not like obsessed or addicted or anything.

So, yeah, I play Heroes of Legend, y’know, the MMO.
