Got this at BookCon and it comes out next month, so I figured I'd give it a read now! 
 Post-read: this book was a lot of fun. I highly recommend for any other geeks, especially those familiar with MMOs like World of Warcraft. 
 I had a feeling I was in for a treat with this one just by how I received the ARC: answering geeky trivia at BookCon. Those who wanted an advanced copy of the novel--which debuts October 20, 2015--had to answer random trivia based on geeky shows, games, and the like (my question was Game of Thrones-themed. Score!). Surely enough, this novel turned out to be a hilarious foray into geekdom, especially for those who are familiar with the in-game culture of popular MMORPGs. 
 But the geeky references don't end with Zoth's striking similarities to World of Warcraft; there are endless, satisfying references to video games like Pokemon and Zelda, tabletop games like Settlers of Catan, and shows like Doctor Who. The end result had me feeling like I want to be Max Wirestone's friend and maybe join him on a raid or two.
