A review by roie
The Heavens by Sandra Newman

1.0

The premise of this is so promising. It is also written incredibly well, I couldn't put it down. What turned me off this book was the reveal in the middle of the book. I couldn't stop laughing at the central idea and what followed. It was just so ridiculous.

What would've made this somewhat good is if it wasn't set in our world. If it was a completely alternate reality and not a world that's just a little bit different then slowly becomes our world today. Because a lot of the plot revolves around people we know from history it just seemed completely insane.

I also found the dream chapters to be quite boring, as soon as they appeared I just wanted to go back to the current timeline.
