Hello Book Lovers!

I hope you got to rest and relax this weekend. I had a medical emergency of sorts in the middle of the week  that really set me back, so I’m slowly getting back to some sort of normalcy just in time for Crypticon to start. Anywho, I read another book!

This time I read Eternity’s Wheel (InterWorld #3) by Neil Gaiman, Michael Reaves, and Mallory Reaves.

I really loved the first two books in this series, so I wasted no time in jumping into the next one, since my next buddy read is still delayed due to a long wait on an ebook with my library.

On to the review!

Book Review: InterWorld (InterWorld #1)

Book Review: The Silver Dream (InterWorld #2)

Blurb

The conclusion to the bestselling InterWorld series, from Neil Gaiman, Michael Reaves, and Mallory Reaves!

Joey Harker never wanted to be a leader. But he’s the one everyone is looking to now that FrostNight looms, and he’ll have to step up if he has any hope of saving InterWorld, the Multiverse, and everything in between.

Eternity’s Wheel is the heart-pounding conclusion to the InterWorld series, full of time and space travel, magic, science, and the bravery of a young boy who must now face his destiny as a young man.

The Review

Gosh, this was such a great series! This last book was just as solid as the other two, and I thought this was a wonderful and respectful sendoff.

This time, FrostNight threatens the entire universe as Joey and the Walkers know it, and they charge into action to fight the unbelievable odds. But sudden chaos leaves Joey without allies, and he must rebuild the InterWorld that he knows and loves, finding new allies and exploring treacherous new worlds.

So once again, I just have to point out how great this portal fantasy series was. The system that Joey utilizes to hop from world to world is complex and well thought out. Did I mention how much I love the concept of parallel universes?

This series is a dark YA story that covers the concept of war, loss, grief, and perseverance. I would compare it to Kenneth Oppel’s Overthrow series or the darker final installments in the Animorphs series. There’s a lot of loss and heartbreaking moments, but it’s realistic and doesn’t pull punches, so I respected that.

Joey continues to find depth as he finds himself alone without aid. He can’t depend on InterWorld like he always has, and I think starting from the ground up was good for him. He truly knows himself at this point, and he has to soldier on through impossible situations with potential losses at every turn.

The plot was a ton of fun. Each chapter had huge developments that kept me blazing through the pages. Action, mystery, scifi, fantasy, this book had it all and a bag of chips. Things came full circle with his fight against HEX and the Binary, and the ending was great and open ended.

Though I have the same quips as the other two books in the series on vocab used, I think this series would be a great read for an older teen that’s up for some brutal truths and epic scifi adventures. Highly recommend trying this out!

That’s A Wrap!

Well that’s it for this book review. I hope you enjoyed it!

Have you read this book? Are there other similar books you’ve read that you simply have to gush about? Feel free to leave a comment. I’d love to start a conversation!

Have a great day!
