This is my new favorite book in the series. Definitely.

Alex and Caleb continue to explore the Metigen portals and pocket universes, making lots of new and interesting discoveries along the way. Meanwhile, other characters in the Aurora universe are left to deal with new threats on all sides as humanity struggles to decide what should be done about the Prevos.

For the first time, I think I actually enjoyed the parts that didn't focus on Caleb, Alex, and Valkyrie more. Not that those parts weren't great too, because they definitely were, but there was just so much going on in Aurora that I couldn't seem to turn pages fast enough. I was thrilled to see Olivia wreaking havoc everywhere she went. She's always been one of my favorites so it was fantastic to see her become the incredibly formidable enemy we always knew she was but never got to see on such a large scale. She's an incredible villain and I love her for that. I think I may have said this about Sidespace as well, but I really loved all the social issues that were explored in this book related to the creation of even more Prevos and how that added to the conflict. I'm excited to see how all of that will play out in the next book.

Alex and Caleb's parts of the story were also very well done. It was interesting to watch them slowly piece together the Metigen's motives and the last few pages, where we finally get some long-awaited answers, definitely promise an intriguing continuation of the series. I also really loved some of the conflicts that were explored between Alex and Caleb. It's nice to see a couple portrayed so realistically, with realistic arguments and frustrations with each other. They still love each other, clearly, but it's always nice to see some believable conflict in fictional relationships because obviously that's how real life relationships are.

Taking all of the epicness of this story into account, I can definitely say that this is my favorite book in the series so far. Thanks again, G.S. Jennsen, for writing an awesome book. I can't wait to read more.
