This is a very quick read/ listen and it is definitely adventurous and funny but there is a lot that goes underdeveloped. 

Amazing job in terms of diverse characters and intersectionality. One of the main characters (Jules) for example, is a neurodivergent black, nonbinary child of immigrants.

Speaking of Jules, I related to them so much especially with their constant “that’s so cool!” with their mind going from one thing to another, and how they feel they always mess things up. 

Short books are perfectly fine and while we did learn enough to get a picture of who Ava and Jules are, we knew they’d been in a relationship and why they broke up but I still for the most part could not establish any sort of dynamic between them other than their connection through work and bickering recently broken up partners.

I like how the ending is left open in this case which is something that does not always feel right to me. I definitely would read a sequel or other related book. 

Also completely unrelated to my rating, I was laughing reading the reviews and how almost everyone mentioned Ikea yet I completely was oblivious to that having been the setting 😅. I know of Ikea and think I have been to one once but don’t remember much.

This is so outside of my typical comfort zone that I don’t even know how to review this but I will say it was a very unique premise , intriguing, a unique and well done read that reads very quick. I enjoyed the descriptions of the different realms and I think it ended nicely. There were parts that I wished went into more detail but overall I thought it was a really fun book

This book was a fun romp of a read, with my main qualm being that it plunges the reader into unfamiliar worlds very quickly, with not a lot of time to mentally adjust. 
However, once you get your bearing, the characters are relatable, diverse, and interesting. And their activities even more interesting. I would love to enter this world over again.

Every world has its monsters.

Okay, that? That was super fun. I’m going to be diving into the second book as soon as I get my grubby little hands on it.

Finna follows two recently broken-up exes as they have to travel through the multiverse to find an elderly grandmother, who slipped through a wormhole while exploring an IKEA-like store. I feel like giving any more away would be spoiling, but I found this short novella about personal growth, retail hell, and monsters very entertaining and thought-provoking. Plus, it's queer.

LitenVärld accepts no responsibility or liability for any losses or injuries that wormholes incur, since they fall under the Act of God clauses on our employee insurance.
