The overall premise and idea was fun. I liked the technology and various other aspects. However, the main character was not really fun to have the whole story from the POV of. It felt like he didn't really grow or learn, he was oddly possessive, and the way his interactions went with other characters didn't make sense or feel reasonable a lot of the time. This would have been fine... except that it just all went his way all the time despite him not doing anything to result in that. If my library ever gets the next books on Audibook I might listen to it. But honestly, it was a fun read that I will probably forget about in a few months. I probably would have really enjoyed this or really hated it when I was a teen. Reading this now, it felt very... basic for the genre.
