Fortuna - Book Review
I've just finished reading Fortuna - by Michael R. Stevens. I came across the book from an Amazon e-mail. I checked out the sample on Kindle for PC and immediately bought it.
The book is mostly about Fortuna - a fictional (maybe for now?) online game that takes place in Renaissance Florence, and were ruthless players will do anything to get ahead. The description of the game makes it sound quite impressive, although at times the author's mechanics seem weird (for example, it presumes that video is rendered on-line - certainly possible, but very unusual to say the least).
The first part seemed a little slow to me. I liked the book most after the flashback of the father, although the final "surprises" were kind of of obvious.
Overall, a good book, but not great. It's worth checking the sample and reviews to see if it's something for you, however.
