so-so

I found this book to be similar to the much loved Stranger Things and Coraline, with the unique Sci-Fi atmosphere in a modern day urban setting, with rich world building and a well constructed plot. I enjoyed the idea of various other versions of the world (hence why I thought of Coraline) and I enjoyed the characters. The pacing was fairly fast, however the ending let me down a bit as it seemed like the whole book contradicted itself.

While the writing & story are not particularly sophisticated, this is a very fast & fun read. The story is mostly well told, & I absolutely needed to know what was happening, what was next, & how it would resolve. Although I did *NOT* like the ending (& yes, there was a way to do it differently!!), this doesn‘t seem to be a sticking point for most people. Overall, definitely recommend for a quick, fun, YA romp through portals & parallels. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Avanders @Chrissyreadit if you‘re interested, I‘d be happy to send you the book and all the fun opens that came with it— I did open them, of course 😜 But I‘m not going to keep them and it *is* fun opening them while reading the book… let me know! 😘 4y

Chrissyreadit Ok- so I‘m interested UNLESS it has a sad ending! I need resolution, happiness and satisfaction- also you are so kind and sweet to offer! 4y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I mailed you a letter and it got returned 😓 I think I have the wrong address… do you still have my email address? 4y

Avanders @Chrissyreadit I‘ve struggled to answer this Bc most people don‘t seem to have the same issues with the end that I did. You get resolution for sure … but *I* wasn‘t happy or satisfied with the ending. …. Do you want to try? Or do you want to give this one a pass? 4y

Chrissyreadit I can pass since my TBR is crazy high anyway. I‘m listening to Nyxia when it‘s my turn to drive on the travel portion of my trip. I thought of you- and just had my heart ripped to shreds in the part I just finished. 4y

Avanders @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I do - I‘ll email you :) 4y

Avanders @Chrissyreadit that makes sense to me 😉 Ooh Nyxia!! I hope you love it, heart-shredding notwithstanding! 4y

Avanders @Gissy so fun!! I haven‘t subscribed yet — I just did a 1-month try to see how it was. So far I‘m digging it! ❤️😘 4y

Gissy @Avanders During this year they have included great books, all of them were in my wish list: TheYellow Wife, The Apothecary, Shiver, Meet Me In Paradise. It was not the same last year. Some items are so practical, others not. I always donate those that I‘m not going to use. I‘m in the adult subscription. It is always cheaper to buy only the book but I think is fun to open gifts related with the book you are reading🤗 4y

Avanders @Gissy oooh fun! I love it when the subscriptions pick good books 🥰 i also donate (and sometimes gift, if it seems someone would really like something ☺️) items I‘m not going to use 😄 The book I‘m reading is a YA, as I‘m sure you know.. it has some holes and isn‘t necessarily top-notch writing, but it‘s a fun story, intriguing, and a quick read! I definitely want to know how it all plays out! I‘m super curious about their June book too… 🤔😘♥️ 4y
