If Paul had just communicated with the people he was trying to protect, none of the conflict would have happened in the first place! But hey, he made a mistake! That’s what happens in books! Surely he’ll learn from this experience and grow as a charact-NOPE! Even when he literally thinks that his mentor/father figure is DEAD because of his lack of communication, he still refuses to tell Marguerite the information registering her part in this whole conflict. The only reason he tells her ANYTHING is because she threatens her own safety if he doesn’t come clean. AND HE DOESN’T EVEN COME CLEAN EVEN WHEN HE’S SENDING HER TO ANOTHER DIMENSION TO FIND HER FATHER AND HE DOESN’T EVEN TELL HER HE’S THERE PAUL WHAT THE HELL-Anyways…
I liked the ending, mostly because it

punished Theo, whom I’d found especially annoying throughout the book,HOWEVER
This book did make me reflect on the important relationships in my life. The way the book handles grief, and how Marguerite learns to appreciate the small moments with those you love, was really beautiful. If you dig through the patronizing love triangle, you find a heartwarming lesson that everyone should learn. I just wish I didn’t have to do so much digging.
In conclusion, if you wish Twilight focused more on familial relations and quantum theory, this is the book for you. That is all.

But it wasn't. I had some problems when reading. Almost everything felt so rushed, I couldn't bond with the protagonists or any of the other characters. Marguerite rushed from one dimension into the next without thinking what she's leaving behind or what she just did with the life of that dimension's Marguerite. The pacing wasn't good, there could have been more detail, especially about the past or her relationships in her home dimension, and I was missing the parts where she actually slowed down to consider her options instead of just tackling the things as they come.
Spoiler
She had so much time to think about everything when she was in Russia! What did she do all day?!At first I was also thinking that the plot maybe wasn't as detailed because the scenes with the love interest would be... But they weren't. Nothing was described on detail in any part of the story, definitely not the show don't tell I was expecting.
Spoiler
I'm also sick of the love interest being the tall and muscular guy who knows everything and her just being cluelessThe story just didn't come to life for me, like I already said, this book had much potential but didn't rise up to my expectations.
