 I really enjoyed this book! I hadn't known it was released until about the end of February. It was nice being able to get into a book again because I'd been in a reading slump since about the beginning of the pandemic. I'm so happy that the book that really got me out of it was Neal Shusterman!

I liked the concept of this book, the whole parallel universe theory is really interesting and I think it was well done. I don't really know what else to say about it other than I really liked it and am so glad that I was able to get it and read it.

Very different than the Scythe series, for sure, but the idea of shifting realities and relationships is a worthwhile exploration.

Neal Shusterman does not disappoint. A fun romp leading to a somewhat-predictable ending. Apparently there's also a TV deal for this one??? When will we see these TV/film options come to fruition, I'm impatient~~

Kniha mi byla poskytnuta v rámci spolupráce s @knihkupectvi_luxor za účelem recenze. #spoluprace

Byl to normální fotbalový zápas, nebýt jednoho úderu do hlavy, který všechno změnil. Ash se ocitl v jiné dimenzi.

V knize je víc světů, které hlavní hrdina navštíví a Neal Shusterman v každém z nich popisuje konkrétní problém lidské společnosti (rasismus, sexismus, toxický vztah, homofobie a další).

Námět je to skvělý, a i když mi byl Ash sympatický (byl prostě lidský, líp bych to neřekla), z jeho dobrodružných výprav do různých vesmírů jsem tak uchvácená nebyla. Nějak jsem si to zkrátka nedokázala představit. Chyběly mi trochu jasnější informace o tom, jak tohle celé funguje.

Pravidla hry jsou autorovým nejoblíbenějším standalone příběhem, ale já z nich tak nadšená nejsem.
