review:
Loads of technologies just thrown at you, with no details or descriptions to understand what they are or what they do. So the end result is everything looks like it makes sense, even seems rooted in physics because when you search those term they all have Wikipedia pages. But there is no knowledge given for how they work within the story. This is more fairy tale sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi. Which is okay, because it achieves its goal of being entertaining and enjoyable. The second book in the series, the new stuff here was how 1001 arabian nights got adapted into the metaverse. Pretty cool stuff. Looking forward to reading the third book.,
