Publisher's summary

New York Times Best Seller

This official Minecraft novel is an action-packed thriller! When a new virtual-reality version of the game brings her dreams - and doubts - to life, one player must face her fears.

Bianca has never been good at following the plan. She's more of an act-now, deal-with-the-consequences-later kind of person. But consequences can't be put off forever, as Bianca learns when she and her best friend, Lonnie, are in a terrible car crash. Waking up in the hospital, almost paralyzed by her injuries, Bianca is faced with questions she's not equipped to answer. She chooses instead to try a new virtual-reality version of Minecraft that responds to her every wish, giving her control over a world at the very moment she thought she'd lost it. As she explores this new realm, she encounters a mute, glitching avatar she believes to be Lonnie.

Bianca teams up with Esme and Anton, two kids who are also playing on the hospital server, to save her friend. But the road to recovery isn't without its own dangers. The kids are swarmed by mobs seemingly generated by their fears and insecurities, and now Bianca must deal with the uncertainties that have been plaguing her: Is Lonnie really in the game? And can Bianca help him return to reality?

Meh.

I did really enjoy the overall connection between Bianca and Lonnie, but the fact that Esse acted pretty self-entitled and Ant (or whatever his name is) was just obsessed with basketball and red stone or whatever didnt help. Also, the chapters felt really stretched out, especially considering 3/4 of the chapters was basically trying to get blaze rods. I just feel this book could’ve been way better in terms of story.

A little too dramatic

The reader was a little too dramatic for my taste. I kept saying Bruh every 30 seconds. The book was great though. Notch would be proud.

LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!

It made me cry like fifty times. It was a really good book. I like the Minecraft one of my favorite video game. And a little scary a good book personally. The narrator is spot on a really great performance. It is one of my favorite books.

Really odd book.

This book was extremely hard to follow. I've played Minecraft for 10 years and I'm over here wondering how half of this makes sense. I understand it's a "modded realms server in VR" but that's still left field out of the playing area.

I struggled hard to finish this book. I only finished this book to hear the ending and see if my prediction was correct.

Compared to the island. This is far worse than it's counterpart and really needs to be cautioned before reading. I don't like giving harsh reviews at all but this was very difficult to listen to let alone finish.

I also am a strong believer in VR technology and it's advancements. The author should have looked into more realistic VR capabilities unless this was intentionally supposed to be more "Sci-Fi"-ish which would be fine for the way the VR headsets were used.

The narrator did an outstanding job though. that was the only plus. She did not skip a beat and that made this actually finishable.
