This was a chill read I needed for my slump last month. It was so unserious and hilarious at times. I also didn’t expect the amount of adventure it came with and I enjoyed that the most. I’m not gonna lie, the plot was very ABC and this didn’t feel like the final draft of a story but it was entertaining enough for me to get to the end. We missed out on so much in terms of Rayna’s relationship with her family and friends. She had more than one friend but Keri was the only one we saw. The language took me out of the story at times too. We were interacting with creatures from other worlds but everyone talked the same way, had the same mannerisms, etc. On top of that, I was cringing because of it or had to edit in my head as I read. Plus everybody was winking too damn much for me. Like why are we winking and teasing about sex when lives are at stake in a world over? I get that it was supposed to be funny and easy to read but I wished it were taken more seriously because a lot happened in this book. There were several scenes where it went from zero to a hundred and left me reeling. This has potential but it could’ve been developed and tightened up more, in my opinion, especially since it ended with multiple ends untied.
