   It's great! I randomly picked this book to kill some time, but I ended up really hooked. The plot is very tight and exciting! Immersing myself in the main character's world is like being carried along by the star! There's no romantic pairing. The forum scenes enhance the immersion, but the only downside is that there aren't enough of them.
