Just a reminder to potential readers that this isn't Hama's ARAH universe, and to remember it is written for the YA audience of the present day, not several decades ago. That audience doesn't consume media quite the same way.
I've read it, and its pretty good. There's some scary exploration of how augmented reality and the metaverse can be used AGAINST a populace, and to manipulate reality without them even knowing. If you go in expecting it to be like the Joe choose your adventure books or novels of the 80's, you're going to have a bit of a surprise. But if you go in looking for an interesting story with a set of solid characters, you'll enjoy it, and your YA kids will. That being said, I did feel the author, an admitted GI Joe fan from childhood on, is avidly into it, but still feeling out this new universe.

Young. BTW, in case anyone missed this, Mx Skovron answered/addressed a bunch of questions/concerns regarding their novel via Reddit ... https://www.reddit.com/r/gijoe/comme...he_new_gi_joe/

I just finished the book myself and I really enjoyed it. ***Minor Spoilers Below*** I like the whole Year One approach. Kinda reminds me of Renegades where the Joe Team is not formed yet. Come to think of it, the premise is not that far off from Renegades. |

Yes, while the book is certainly no "The Witches of Worm", it does have its moments.

"It’s geared toward kids (the target age is 8-12), but there are tons of easter eggs for long time fans. My hope is that these books serve as a way for old fans to introduce this franchise to a kid in their life.”
Well that settles it. My sons are 9 and 11 so I'll be ordering this book. |
