Kirito and Asuna must fight to survive the death game Sword Art Online has become. If you read the original light novel then you'll notice some changes in the storyline, but I assure you major events have not changed and they make it a better read! A fan of video games, especially MMOs, will enjoy this series. This book will take you through floors one and two of Aincrad. I like being able to see the development of the world, and the use of lingo used by gamers worldwide. Seeing the day to day life and boss raids for each individual floor gives you a better perspective on how hard it is for the players to survive. You'll also be able to explore this all through both Kirito and Asuna's point of view, much like Kawahara allowed readers different points of view in his short stories. It isn't as repetitive as I expected having read the original light novel which made me extremely pleased. So if you did read the original, go ahead and pick this one up and know it won't be a simple rehash of the story. ;)
