While completely out of my normal reading selection--I was drawn to the dystopian setting--I admired the pluckiness of the main heroine, Mallory. Quick thinking, resourceful, and brave even if she would never see herself that way. I wasn't particularly drawn to the online gaming concept, but the super-soldiers and their story was riveting. I even felt sorry for their plight. An entertaining and exciting change of pace for me. 3.5 stars.
