This was a fast-paced, well written story featuring multiverse travel and lots of intrigue. The world-building was a bit confusing through the beginning, having to learn about multiple different versions of the world before fully understanding the base one. There were lots of twists, and I'm interested in reading more from this author in the future.

I've always believed, like all rational people, that my selves are separate. That they- we- exist independently. But sometimes when life is too still, when I lie in bed in the quiet, I can feel it all happening.

it might take me awhile to sort out my feelings about this book in a legible way, so for now here's a quick list:

  • worldbuilding was amazingly immersive and confronted issues of poverty, segregation, etc. with a full-on approach as well as going about the multiverse in a way that could be understood without much difficulty
  • the characters were super diverse and had a lot of depth, with an exploration of ethics and an examination of their values across different worlds and different situations
  • the plot twists were awesome, the plot itself with good pacing
  • the main romance as well as other character interactions were brilliant (even if i feel like the big misunderstanding between the main romance couple was a bit silly)
  • the author covered some very heavy subjects with a lot of care but also the honesty that such trauma encompasses
  • for once i could feel positively about the existentialism in a novel
  • slightly ambiguous ending was perfect for the type of book this is

One of the best books I’ve read this year, great representation and even greater storytelling that always plays with your expectations. 9.5/10. 

Highlights: The casually dropped but super cool worldbuilding, Nik Nik, and of course Caralee in general. 

Recommended for: Fans of time travel/multiversal stories, and anyone looking for LGBTQ+ representation but without it being a focal point of the book.

I was disappointed that this was once again a psuedo-slave narrative, but I understand why these kinds of stories exist and why they're important. The world building was stunning.
