 Hey guys it's Julia and welcome back to my channel and for today's video I'm actually going to be filming kind of a review slash discussion on one of my favorite books of this year that really was amazing to me and that is Warcross by Marie Lou. So I'm not gonna be doing spoilers but there's definitely gonna be a lot of like just gushing about stuff in this video like not spoilers but like I'm just it's not gonna be as structured as my usual reviews are. Literally kind of little tagline of this book is for the millions who log in every day Warcross isn't just a game it's a way of life. This is science fiction so it does take place years in the future and there's this game called Warcross it's like a virtual reality so you put on these glasses and you are transported into this world that is very kind of much like our own but you can go to like a stadium and watch people compete and it's just a thing that people do and it's just kind of there and our main character Amika, we start off the book with her and she's about to be kicked out of her home and she's actually like a hacker. She is very computer savvy. She really likes Warcross. She goes in there all the time and she has like a bunch of different accounts. Even though her level isn't up to par with how good she is, she has several accounts so she definitely people underestimate her all the time. So this book then talks about how she hacks into the game. She gets in in the middle of a tournament which causes a buzz all around the world. She is sent to Japan to meet the owner of Warcross and then things go on from there and it's kind of about that story. So I love that this book takes place in Japan. I loved the virtual reality. I love how you could put on the glasses and you'd walk around and there would just be like your normal world but there would be all these extra components to it. I just thought that was really really cool. So the other thing I liked about this book was during like the games like the championships and the tournaments it just gave me a Pokemon vibe. Don't ask me why cuz it's not like Pokemon but like the way the stadium was, the excitement, how everyone was just so into it. It just really gave me Pokemon vibes. I don't know why. So just talking about the writing in this book I think it's absolutely amazing. I was so impressed with this. I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. I think it was amazing. Like I was speechless. I'm still speechless. Like I don't know what to say. It was just really really good. Basically I'll give you five reasons why you should read this. One, the gaming sci-fi element. Okay so if you're not into sci-fi don't worry. For myself I usually only enjoy sci-fi movies and TV shows. I have never been able to get into sci-fi books. I had no idea why but this book blew me away and I don't think you have to be super tech savvy or know these terminology to get what's going on. Like you'll be fine. So definitely read it for that component and for the actual Warcross game. Next is for the characters. So Amika is one of the is the female lead in this story. I really like her and I think she's definitely a great main character to follow. She kind of starts off as this girl who's just kind of doing what she has to do. Trying to make money. Trying to just live and support herself and she also went through some things in her past too that kind of you know and number three why you should read this is because of the male lead. I'm not gonna say too much because like I don't want it to like I don't want to say something I shouldn't or get spoiled or like spoil you guys might get spoiled but the male in this book is really attractive. He kind of has this Warner from Shatter Me vibe. Like not what he seems like very serious but very cute you know. It's just my kind of man. Just read it. Like no more lists. Just read it please. Like this has become one of my favorite books and it's really weird. The writing is amazing. The characters are amazing. The plots amazing. The twists are amazing. I couldn't put it down. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I can't stop thinking about it. I was holding it in my arms. It's a lot but it was great. I love it so much. You guys should definitely check it out.

I wish but I definitely love this book a lot and it's definitely gonna become one of my... well not become one of my favorites. It is one of my favorites already so that was my video.
