Omg finally a book about alternative realities! It's such an underused concept even tho it's very interesting. They don't visit that many realities in this book but they have great variety. One is very advanced technologically, other isn't, one is very close to the main character's own reality and the last is something she couldn't even dream of. The plot is very interesting (this is kinda spoilery so here's you warning)
Spoiler but it very quickly turns into something completely different than what's in the blurb


I do have some problems with this book. First of all, like half the book is spend in the second dimension they visit. Sure we got some character development and romance but I was hoping to move on more quickly from there and explore more alternative dimensions. Second, WHY ARE THEY SO CARELESS WITH THEIR ALTERNATIVE DIMENSION VERSIONS OF THEMSELVES??? This pisses me off!
Spoiler especially in the Russian dimension. Our Marguerite literally might've gotten A ROYAL pregnant with her bodyguard??? And she only thinks about this ONCE. she felt so bad for Lieutenant Markov but didn't give a shit about that dimensions Marguerite?? Wooooow.


There's also the freaking love triangle because of course there is. However it didn't bother me that much. It's quite obvious who she ends up with from the beginning. 

Despite these flaws I loved this book! I'm definitely going to read the sequels.
