Solid conclusion to the series. A few gripes, mainly about the fact that a sigma is not an epsilon although it seemed to be being used as one by the author for a while (although since there was an epsilon used later this might have been an issue with my kindle version? not sure)

There is a fine line to walk between letting your hero's voice talk about his insecurities and making him human versus turning him into just being whiny and self pitying and unfortunately this book came out a bit on the wrong side of it (too whiny). But overall it was entertaining and I loved the entire trilogy as an interesting world.

I’m glad that I finished the trilogy and found out the ending, but this last book really did drag on some.

Book one was the best from the series - book three made up for the utter letdown of book 2. So I guess the sum of it's parts makes Interworld satisfactory in the end.

I noticed the "voice change" in Book 2 and I have a feeling Gaiman wrote less of that than would have us believe. It's pretty obvious in Book 3 but I don't feel "hoodwinked" because it's right there on the front page: Husband and Wife Reeves wrote this. With that in mind, I did have a good time and was rooting for the Joeys, the Harkers, the Jays and the iterations all the way

Plot/Storyline/Themes:
Thank You Mr Dimas for asking all the questions so Joey could remind us what had happened in book one. I had almost forgotten. Great refresher. So book 3 is about, well, saving the world from FrostNight and taking down Binary-Hex once and for all. Oh and there a loose end in Acacia that needs to be resolved.

Two Sentences, A Scene or less - Characters:
Best Joey: our Joey boy! Usually I don't care for the hero but he is sufficiently flawed and comes back stronger from his mistakes.
Adorable Joey: J’r’ohoho the crntaur
Magnificent Joey: Jo, Jakkon, Josef, Jarl and Jari
Hilarious Joey: Jai and his vocabulary
Tragic Joey: J/O. I miss him.
Worst Joey: Josephine

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Scene: :
Reunited in a cave in a mountain in Interworlds Past in prehistoric Earth. It was soo sweet!

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Quotes:
🖤 “I was used to not knowing where I was, but I’d never really had to question when I was. Not until my recent association with a Time Agent, anyway.” (Joey on Time in Interworld)
🖤 “Hue was like the universe’s best looking glass, like the missing element that made everything fall into place. That made everything make sense. Walking was no longer about finding the door, it was about suddenly realizing you were surrounded by doors and you knew exactly where every single one of them went.” (The best thing about Interworld. Hue)

Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Concepts:
■ Hue
■Soliton Array Engines
■Interworld Beta
■Kinesthetic telepathy
■Advanced dimensional tracker

I find this series incredibly unsatisfying. It builds to be one thing and then just lets you down. Not a twist just a lack of completion of the story it's creating. I will not read further books in this series or by the people who wrote it with Neil Gaiman. I'm so disjointed.

I don’t get it. So Joey is old man. But what is the deal with two Acacia's?
