Summary

Maybe you can help me stop sparklegeddon!

In modern-day Los Angeles, a shadowy faction led by the governor of California develops the arcane art of combat linguistics, planting the seeds of a future totalitarian empire.

Isobel is the queen of the medieval rave–themed VR game Sparkle Dungeon. Her prowess in the game makes her an ideal candidate to learn the secrets of power morphemes—unnaturally dense units of meaning that warp perception when skillfully pronounced.

But Isobel’s reputation makes her the target of a strange resistance movement led by spellcasting anarchists, who may be the only thing stopping a cabal from toppling California over the edge of a terrible transformation, with forty million lives at stake.

Time is short for Isobel to level up and choose a side—because that cabal has attracted much bigger and weirder enemies than the anarchist resistance, emerging from dark and vicious dimensions of reality and heading straight for planet Earth!

I almost couldn't stomach the ridiculousness and it stays a bit over the top the whole way through, but there's some cool ideas in there and in the end I couldn't put it down!

Goodies, baddies and crazy game realms, chowing down on the kind of sonic word weaponry that certain government departments have doubtless been mumbling over for centuries.

Don't let the outlandish premise fool this is a truly hidden gem. It's funny, plot twisty, deep down interesting and above a wild sparkling ride. All hail the Queen and her blingdom
