I had a mixture of feelings upon finishing this book. I liked some parts and wasn’t interested in others. It felt like a very average book to me.
What I Loved:
The only thing that falls under the “love” category is Paul. Oh my gosh did I ever love him. Or… one of him? All the different Paul’s was a little confusing but I mostly loved them all. He was just an easy character to fall in love with.
I also really loved the Russian setting that a big chunk of the book took place in. I didn’t really care for the others but I haven’t read many book that have taken place in Russia so that was really fun for me. I also enjoyed the different characters in that world and how some were the same and some completely different.
What I Didn’t Like:
I can’t say that I really cared for the beginning and ending of this book. The beginning was way too slow and I had a really hard time picking the book back up. If it wasn’t for the fact that this was a buddy read I’m not sure I would have continued reading it. The ending ended up being really predictable and it ended in a way that makes you feel like it’s a standalone book.Everything was fixed and all the loose ends tied up mostly. It was a happily ever after sort of ending. I just thought that it could have been better and it seemed like a very average book.
Who I’d Recommend To:
I think I’d recommend this book to people who love to jump around in different dimensions and time periods. People who have an easy time following what’s happening. If you sometimes have a hard time following a jumpy book then you’ll probably have a hard time with this one.
Quick Review:
A well written, entertaining and average book. It was mostly entertaining but had a lot of boring parts to explain all in the same spot. It was hard to push through but the middle sections made it worth it. All the loose ends are tied up and everyone lives happily ever after. Mostly.
