How Rory Thorne Destroyed the Multiverse by K. Eason
5.0
I unabashedly LOVED this book and its blend of science fiction and fantasy.
Following the wonderful, varied, and often very funny cast of characters through the twists and turns of the plot is a delight. Rory herself is an irresistible point-of-view character: clever and capable, she is definitely not one to sit around waiting to be rescued, but she can also be as rash and foolish as any other teenager, especially one so hemmed in by custom and convention.
The blending of fantasy and science fiction creates a richly detailed and sumptuous world. Eason imagines a far-flung multiverse inhabited by xenos (aliens) and humans who have some distant memories of a time when they lived in one solar system, or maybe even on one planet. There is courtly intrigue, political shenanigans, and a magic of sorts; arithmancy is a learned skill that involves manipulating the mathematical principles which underlie the structure of the universe.
