Thank you Netgalley for this ARC.
This book begins with a lesson about this parallel world you are entering and quickly jumps into the storyline. The world and premise caught my interest quickly. I will start off by saying that this book has potential, but I do think it would benefit majorly from editing. The love story was overly rushed in my opinion and not overly developed. There is little dialogue between the two main characters and it doesn't really make sense why they fell for each other. It doesn't even feel like you ever really get to know a character. There is some format issues as well with the chapters that felt very inconsistent. It is also very choppy to the point it almost feels disjointed. The author leans into telling the reader information instead of "showing" it. This really breaks up the overall flow of the story. Every chapter also starts off with a quote that is relevant to the story line but seems to be from the author's other pen name. This was throwing me off as well. I'd rather those quotes be integrated in the story. The author also kept switch to different points of view. Normally, this is something I like, but the author also would switch up if it was in first or third person point of view. There were also too many things happening for the length of the story. All of this leads to a lack of interest in the events of the book.
The author does end the book in a way to lead to future books. I hope the next book gives us some more in depth looks at the characters and a smoother flow to the storyline. Overall, I see a lot of potential for this writer. I think they just need more time to develop their writing style.

Thanks NetGalley for the e Arc, unfortunately I did not like this at all and couldn’t finish it. I found myself annoyed from the very beginning. Seems like very amateur writing like a student had to write a story for their creative writing class. I get this is probably the authors first book so I don’t want to be too harsh but definitely needs some work and I would not recommend.
