A troupe of teenagers fumbling through an adult's world

Despite some very compelling elements, this is a frustrating book series. Certainly intended for a younger audience, I was constantly reminded of my own frustrating late adolescence/young adulthood where roadblocks abounded to funnel me in a predetermined direction. I feel like protagonists in fantasy should be relatable and realistic in order for me to relate and empathize, but there's a limit. This series offered me a story about a painfully average teenager, lacking any significant agency, thrust into a fantasy world where the expected amount of social, psychological, and physical flailing for said average teenager was penned out in detail; complete with a massive cliffhanger ending to compelled the purchase of book 5.

The author did his best to dismantle the facets of vampirism into a series of symptoms of a bacterial infection. He attempted to convert a classic fantasy architype into something much more pedestrian and in the process dulled its mystery and, in my opinion, overall appeal. I would much prefer a sci-fi/fantasy story that chalks up impossible events to a mysterious source to keep my imagination chewing on it rather than attributing unattainable characteristics to bacterial activity. Bram Stoker's Dracula hooked me way harder than this book did.

Narration was excellent as Jeff Hays always is. I struggled to get through the story though. Many other litRPGs have a hook that draws me in; a fundamental high stakes aspect that involves me in the story well beyond watching some guy play a video game. For most of this book however watching some guy play a video game is precisely what I was doing and I was bored for HOURS! When plot points began to come together at the end I found myself trying to care about it. I should be so invested in the characters that I should be on the edge of my seat, but instead I was kind of mad that book 2 will ultimately be responsible for driving the story along.

This series is getting better! Book 5 can't come soon enough. The narration is beyond stellar once again.
