I really enjoyed this continuation of the Completionist Chronicles. The pacing is fantastic, the story is interesting and engaging, the characters are fun.

The one issue I had repeatedly with this book is the continuous homophobia. Yeah, this is a videogame world and few people other than Republicans are more homophobic than MMORPGers. But the first part of the book is peppered with CAL sending homophobic remarks to Joe in his status updates. It fortunately slows down a lot, but it continues to be an issue throughout the book and it really bothered me.

Without the homophobia, this is a solid 4+ star book, but I can't rate it over 3 with this content.

Additional, since I've gotten a lot of hateful comments: if all you have to say is "I don't see any homophobia" don't bother commenting unless you're gay. I don't give a fuck about your opinion, it's not relevant :-P

EDIT: I have reread the book and found 9 items which are specific homophobic, 7 of which are in status updates from CAL. I believe that all of them are in the first half of the book.
