I really connected with this story total saw myself as the main character as i was that college student that spent many hours involved in an online game. I really did not connect with many outside of the game. I only wish some hot panther shiftier had knocked on my door and whisked me off on some weird adventure. Heck i would love to learn magic. I also like that though this has been classified as an adult series i not really seeing anything over the top but i sure that might come later in the series. This is a great first novel to introduce me this author and looking forward to reading more in this new series.
