A sneakily intellectual graphic novel about a girl learning to love gaming.

December 31, 2014 by narfna Leave a Comment

Read this all in one go before work one morning last month and really, really liked it. If it had just been a story about a girl and her second gaming life I would have liked it anyway, but it also had some really unexpected stuff about economics and labor, which is not something you exepct to find in a book whose artwork makes you want to hug a pillow because it’s so adorable.
