Arena

If you're looking for a book with a strong female main character, this is it. In a future world where virtual reality gaming is the new celebrity sport, Kali is one of the few upper echelon female players. But the story isn't about that, and that's one of things I really like about it. It's one small bit of what drives her, but she's not trying to prove a point. Mostly she's just a gamer through and through, doing what she loves and trying to deal with the pressures and demands of the fame it brings. I also like a book with a strong story and character arc, and this one came through, unlike a lot of the other books I've read lately.
