Initial Impressions 8/29/17: I think I enjoyed this book better than the first! I liked having everything established and it was neat to see these concepts expanded even more. One thing I love about good fantasy/sci-fi writers is when they make the readers think they've gotten all of the reveals and then something totally new is revealed and it's like a whole new world opening up! 
 I'm still not the biggest fan of the romance, but I don't think I will be at this point. It's kind of just there for me and I don't love that it's the main reason why Marguerite is doing what she's doing, but I guess I also like that her guy isn't someone she just met and that it's someone who's been in her life for a long time. There's just something about it that still feels like instalove for some reason, and I think it's the way it was all set up in the first book. I don't have a problem with instalove when it's executed well but I've just never been a fan of this relationship. 
 The further development of the multiverse is fascinating! We get to know the same characters but in different dimensions and how their lives are different, as well as how one dimension may be affecting another. Things dig way deeper in this book and the plot was even more fascinating! 
 I'm still not tooootally in love like I had hoped to be but these books are proving to be very enjoyable and I'm glad I'm reading them back-to-back-to-back so I'm able to soak everything in and not have a year in between each book!
