One Verse Multi by Sander Santiago
4.0
One Verse Multi is a sci fi romance starring Martin King and the adventures of the MVP, Multi-verse Protection Corporation. A like-earth sci fi story about multiple, co-existing universes and the people who maek them up. Martin starts off as an e mployee on an exclusive MVP team that seems to be studying multi-verse persons, but quickly turns into a mystery of corporate greed and the universe itself.
It's hard to describe it without spoilers, but what I enjoy about the story is that just as the plot seems to be at a lull, some new twist or circumstance, some new character development will turn the story on its head. Each fourth of the book almost felt like it's own story. The ups and downs can sometimes create lulls that can seem to drag, but the character development not only individually amongst Tidas, Luca and Martin and the whole crew, but them collectively, is what really drives this along.
The sci fi technicality can get heady at points, but for the most part is very approachable by both an older and younger audience. The suspension of disbelief is never broken for me personally and watching the romance develop while trying to figure out what on eath was going on was a nice twist. Other than some of the aforementioned flaws, this is a very solid read with some varied, diverse representation that brings full-fledged and developed characters you want to see more of. I recommend for any sci fi, fantasy or people looking for more queer/BIPOC reads. Not too heavy or violent, good amount of fluff.
