This book was a hoot and a half. It's LitRPG, a hybrid genre of science fiction and/or fantasy with the mechanics of a role-playing game, like Dungeons and Dragons, where the characters are aware they are in an RPG. It has quests, battles, loot, managing stats and inventory, and leveling up. Being relatively new to DnD (only been playing consistently for two years) and never having read LitRPG before, I thoroughly enjoyed this. It is a little cartoonish at times, but the main character has a well-developed character questioning the morality of the situation he is in. It also has a snarky talking cat. How can you not love that?
