A fun reaad

I'm betwen a 3 and a 4, but went with 4 based on how quickly I finished this. It was a fun read and definitely engaging. I really enjoyed the pacing and the action.

It also sometimes read as a Gen Z version of Neuromancer, which is to say it borrowed from the best and built a good story that stands on its own.
