Dissonance is one of those novels that I will not recap the synopsis for review. I wanted to like this one. I really did. I've read Erica's Torn trilogy. I liked it and wanted to give this author another shot. The beginning had started off well and I liked the direction this book was going. 
 Unfortunately, I just never connected to any part of it. In between the huge info-dumps was the drama. And I just didn't care. I didn't like the characters. I couldn't care less what happened to them. And on top of everything it got confusing. Not the world building, which I did think was done well. I was able to follow the terminology in the beginning. The author lost me when the multiple time lines came into play. To make matters worse, insta-love within the time lines. After that, I just couldn't. 
 I struggled to finish this one, which was absolutely frustrating after having a promising start. It felt like an obligation. It really should have been a DNF. Normally when it comes to multiverse based novels, I have no problem comprehending and enjoying. That just wasn't the case here.
