I found the premise of this story to be incredibly intriguing - I am not a gamer either, but what I read about the games and the stories I hear, how deeply people dive in the online games fascinated me for quite some time. And it was intriguing, and it was well written, and I can see how authors wanted to blend RL and online perspectives on living in the virtual world and forming relationships in the virtual world. I get all of this and for the settings story gets three stars. But characters? Oy, I did not care about them separate or alone, this is where them being avatars stopped me from looking at them as real people even if I understood that real people are pulling their strings, but real people behind them could be completely different and this could all be a fake, so why should I care about marionettes?I don't know, three stars out of respect for the writing and settings.
