Predictable YET Unpredictable

I love a story that I can't tell where it is going. Although this book had some classic "book like" things, I definitely had some moments of - Wait. What? I thoroughly enjoyed it. The core of the story really made me rethink the concept of war. In short, I loved it!

No RPO, but great on nostalgia

Armada tugs at the gamer in me, the kid in me and most of all, the conspiracist in me. It had its predictable moments, but it was adventurous, fun and mostly to the point. It lacked some good description, since it's expected to hit the big screen, but it's a solid 10. Now if we compare it to Ready Player One, it's a very unsteady 5.
