Armada

It's not Ready Player One, but I didn't expect it to be. I'm not a reader that tries to figure out what's going to happen before it happens, but some of the main plot points were telegraphed a mile away. The ending was only ok, but I wasn't a fan of the obvious doors opening for a sequel.

Ready Player One is my go-to book for when I need a light-hearted read. I LOVE RP1. Armada isn't going to take over that place any time soon. I still enjoyed it, and I went through it pretty quickly. I loved the premise. I was afraid reading the summary that it was just going to be a Last Starfighter redo, but I should have had more faith. Yeah, there's some Last Starfighter elements to it, but there's also a nice Ender's Game-y feel. Some of the usernames Ernie came up with are fantastic. IronBeagle, RedJive, AtomicMom... Loved the interaction between IronBeagle and RedJive.
