About this Book:
This book has been described as “Black Panther meets Ready Player One” by blogger Anjali Kay, and the author Brittney Morris sums it up perfectly when she says “it features techie black girls kicking racist butt.”
What I LOVED about this book
It combines black empowerment with feminism, entrepreneurship, diverse characters, and a magical video gaming world, while exposing racism that pervades the gaming industry. It also teaches black culture/history through the gaming world (hellooo dual cards) in such a captivating and imaginative way.
A take away quote:
““As we duel, as we chat, there’s an understanding that “your black is not my black” and “your weird is not my weird” and “your beautiful is not my beautiful,” and that’s okay. It brings tears to my eyes if I think about it too long.”
