melbsreads 's review for:

A Million Worlds with You by Claudia Gray
4.0

I'd heard pretty mixed things about this book, so I was more than a little nervous about reading it. And it DID take me a while to get into this, partly because it jumps around between SO many different worlds, and partly because it'd been a while since I reread the second one and there were a bunch of details I'd forgotten about.

Don't get me wrong - I loved seeing all of the different worlds. I'm particularly annoyed that we didn't get to see more of the Egyptology-y world. But there were so many of them. So much "Okay, where am I now? What's my family situation? How do I find Paul? Is this the Theo of this world or the Evil Theo?". So to be honest, it got a liiiiiiiiiiiittle repetitive.

BUT. The second half of the book? Was freaking STELLAR. I loved the way the final solution came together. I loved getting to see
Spoilerthe various Marguerites
work together. I loved how it all ended. And most of all, I loved the cover, because all three of these covers have been ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.

(Although if I had to read about how thin Marguerite was ONE MORE TIME, I was going to reach into the book and slap her with a family sized pizza...)
