Another one I don't quite know how to rate. On the one hand I did like the story itself, the concept, the worlds. On the other hand I hated the writing style, like hated it. HATED IT. It's a writing style that reminds me of cyberpunk, disjointed, crazy, senseless, hyperactive, drug induced, there should probably be some neon lights around here somewhere. Hate it. So much.
If it was written more normally, with proper world building, better timelines (I am fine with switching among several timelines, but not like this book does it), better perspective shifts, etc, then I think this could be a fantastic book. Because I really did like the idea of the story and the worlds, and even the characters. Also this is a very quotable book, I have so many highlights.
Essentially I want to give the story 5 stars. But I want to give the writing style, and thus the execution, 1 star. I am not sure meeting in the middle at 2.5 or 3 would really be accurate though.
So... Maybe I will just leave this one unrated.
