Praise for Best Game Ever
"The Best Game Ever is the science fiction Hogwarts, full of adventure and wonder, that you've always wanted--complete with cybertech instead of magic, virtual reality gaming instead of quidditch, and a diverse, queer cast of exciting characters."
- Don Sakers, book reviewer for Analog Magazine and author of Dance for the Ivory Madonna
"Angell has captured college life in all its horrifying, glorious complexity, set against a future that's frighteningly possible."
