If you were told that there was a device you could enter to go to a different reality, would you do it? Do you think such a thing should even be created?

This was so interesting to listen to. The thought of every choice you make becoming a different reality is trippy and really makes you think.

However, it was very slow moving up until about 70% into it. And while the story itself was enjoyable, the characters bored me. Certain moments felt more dramatic than they should have been and the way characters spoke felt a bit stiff.

Even so, I thought this was a cool book! I’d have loved an epilogue about what happened next. 

Who knows, maybe what happened within it is a possibility.
