This universe is interesting! The Crystals that can back up time to have a redo, yet there are rules in place with them too. I love this! And that it feels as though people do not take advantage of this. Really cool. Then there's the Darkness. I'm just as curious about this as our trio is.

I enjoyed the story as it was an adventure and some fighting, but it all felt clean as though adults and young adults could enjoy it. The story moved forward quickly for me, not feeling to slow down, each scene important to the end goal. We do get to the original end goal here, but we also learn that things aren't going to end there, which I kinda figured with the more I learned. I'm totally cool with this! I want to keep going with these characters and this world.

It wasn't a bad read, I obviously finished it but I'll say it wasn't my favorite. It was interesting, but didn't exactly grip me in anyway. I feel like it's the type of book that you read at random intervals if you want to read something lighthearted without becoming overly attached to anything. I did love Kaiden though, he was probably the greatest thing about the book. Lol I might read the others at a later date, we'll see.

é uma história bem legal. dá muito a impressão de ser um jogo, no formato como o texto tá estruturado - o que me animou bastante. eu gosto de quests e o livro é cheio delas. a ação e as descobertas decorrentes dessas partes cheias de ação engajam quem lê. foi bem difícil desgrudar da história. a coisa toda é meio RPG - se você não curte, melhor deixar pra outro dia.
gostaria que os personagens fossem um pouco mais diversos e que não tivesse muito a parte do ciúme - que é bem leve, não chega a ser ponto crucial da história. ainda assim, o lugar na história para onde esse ciúme leva poderia ser alcançado de outra forma.
comprei o segundo ebook imediatamente após terminar o primeiro. quero muito saber pra onde vai essa aventura.

Plucked from their own worlds to save the universe, basically… but I found myself surprisingly uninterested in what was happening. Since we own the second book, I'll go ahead and read it. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with this book, it just went along without anything that I felt I could dig into: I didn't find either the characters or the events pulling me in to the book. I'm not sure whether all this says more about me or about the book, but it's how I reacted to it.
