Three stars: readable but I had major qualms throughout.
I enjoyed the journalist on a hunt for justice; the concept of multiverse traveling and the mechanics involved (despite the obvious potholes); and the exploration of love and loss and what makes life meaningful. I would have edited the shit out of this book to get more character development and less... let's call it ~ambiance~. Some characters act completely outside of their stated motivations and backstories at the end, but I still wanted to know how it would end.

Everything about this book was executed well - the pacing, the writing style, the characters, the concept. It just wasn't groundbreaking to me. Once the multiverse concept was established, there weren't many other clever worldbuilding elements. The characters are distinct and interesting, but they also aren't surprising or nuanced. I enjoyed the POV shifts and the subtle way that some information vwad repeated in different ways by different characters.
This may not be a life-changing sci-fi thriller, but it's more than adequate as a quick, engaging read.
