Hey, guys! I haven't read anything new yet, so I thought I'd post on a book I read earlier this year (if October counts as this year). Today's review is in honor of Star Wars day. At least it is in the best way that I can. Rule of Thoughts is a sci-fi book, so... maybe related? Either way, I'm going to review the amazing masterpiece that was this book.
Rule of Thoughts is the sequel to Eye of Minds an amazing book that I would HIGHLY recommend. Why haven't you already read this book? You should. Go and read it first. I'll still be here. Beware, the rest of this review will spoil the first book, which you should read.
You might remember this, but earlier this year (again if winter counts as this year) I met James Dashner, AKA one of my favorite authors of all time, at YALL Fest. That was amazing. Anyway, I was so excited to meet him because he writes masterpieces like Rule of Thoughts! He also wrote The Maze Runner, The 13th Reality, and Door into the Woods.

The Cover:
It shows Michael standing on the roof of a building inside the VirtNet. It's not a specific scene, but I like it. A- cover
Official Description:
Michael completed the Path. What he found at the end turned everything he’d ever known about his life—and the world—completely upside down.
He barely survived. But it was the only way VirtNet Security knew to find the cyber-terrorist Kaine—and to make the Sleep safe for gamers once again. And, the truth Michael discovered about Kaine is more complex than they anticipated, and more terrifying than even the worst of their fears.Kaine is a tangent, a computer program that has become sentient. And Michael’s completing the Path was the first stage in turning Kaine’s master plan, the Mortality Doctrine, into a reality.The Mortality Doctrine will populate Earth entirely with human bodies harboring tangent minds. Any gamer who sinks into the VirtNet risks coming out with a tangent intelligence in control of their body. And the takeover has already begun.
My Review:
This book was AMAZING. Simply amazing though it was a little different from Eye of Minds. The last book was set mainly in the VirtNet, but this one was more set in reality, which actually worked out rather nicely.
The characters, plot, dialogue, interactions, and voice blended incredibly perfectly onto the page.
In short, The Rule of Thoughts was incredibly good! There was constant action and mystery, not to mention the existential crisis that was this book. I ended up questioning my own existence.
These books are not only entertaining, they constantly spark my curiosity. This is one of those books that both reminds you how amazing reading is and makes you (or at least me) want to write.
I would recommend it, without a doubt, to anyone.

Happy Reading!
