This has the same heart pounding action as Rabbits, but just the same as Rabbits...it does feel like the author managed to juggle successfully a bunch of crazy stuff but then not knowing how to end, just lets all the balls drop (is there really a graceful and satisfying way to end juggling I suppose?). But, I should probably keep in mind that I generally despise endings to books and find something wrong with everything.

This series is amazing and The Quiet Room did not disappoint me one bit! The dimensional travel, barrier breaking and psychological impacts were well laid out and easy to follow along the labyrinth of thoughts and ideas. Miles is a gifted writer and keeps you guessing all the way through. Never giving up anything that would lead you astray or provide any idea where he's taking the story until he's already brought you there!

After last trying to correct the illusive and hidden game of Rabbits and save the universe in the process there’s a new thread of intrigue and coincidence to follow in pursuit of what might be myth but could be salvation in The Quiet Room by Terry Miles.
To read this, and other book reviews, visit my website: http://makinggoodstories.wordpress.com/.
With the eleventh iteration of Rabbits ended, Emily Connors finds herself with a missing K and repeatedly being picked up by the Rabbits Police for questioning, during which she plays dumb, as does Alan Scarpio. While most dimensions have subtle differences between them, the one that Emily and Alan find themselves in appears to be one where Rabbits doesn’t exist, or so they think until they manage to find some well-hidden information and connect it with an architect, Rowan Chess. Rowan has rarely felt as though he’s belonged and is having an incredibly odd month, full of coincidences and strangely appearing and vanishing people, including a date he seemed to really connect with, which he investigates, drawing him to become heavily invested in a game he was unaware of partaking in but soon consumes his life. As Emily and Rowan’s paths cross, references to The Quiet Room keep appearing as they dig deeper and lead them toward a possibility of immeasurable impact on both the game and reality.
The mystery of Rabbits in the dimension Emily’s currently within slowly unravels through a combination of intrigue, puzzles, and seemingly impossible memories with bursts of rapid action to continually propel events forward. Following on what was presented in Rabbits, the events within this novel continue the expansive confusion of conspiracies and theories about the multiverse while more closely explaining some nuance of the hows and whys of what’s being explored through Rabbits and the Radiants as the narrative rotates between Emily and Rowan’s perspective of what they’re faced with and their out-of-place memories that help to inform the actions they’ll take. Though it’s been a while since last being immersed in the world, there’s a familiarity to the characters and what’s presented, despite there being differences in the specifics, that lends the reader an opportunity of being part of the dimension and experiencing the disconcerting feeling associated with dimensional drift. As things come down to the wire for the characters in this portion of the story, the conclusion opens the door for yet another adventure to save the world with yet another permeation of characters.
