This was such an interesting book! I really enjoyed this but felt like I was a bit lost at times. I feel like it could maybe use another round of editing but this was still a fun time nonetheless

I received this Arc from Netgalley. Thank you for the chance to read this book early. My review is honest and 100% my own thoughts about the book.

This book was a multiverse at best. The Main characters β€œpowers” is to travel to alternate universe. With this power they accidentally trap their friend in an alternate universe. They become trapped and caught while they were on their rescue mission. The main characters come to find their Doppleganger.

I loved the authors point of view on a Multiverse and providing alternates of each person in each world. The writing was deep and interactive.

This is a beautifully told story. I flew through it and can highly recommend it. I requested this not knowing it was a sequel, so bear that in mind. But otherwise I was blown away by the beautiful immagery.

It wasn’t until finishing this book that I realised it was part of a series, so reading reading the first book definitely would have helped as I was a little lost in places.

β€˜Emily Verde has an exceptional gift. She can travel to alternate realities in her dreams. But this ability comes at a terrible cost. She’s lost her two best friends in the multiverse. Her roommate is being held prisoner in a demon realm and she’s accidentally swapped her gay best friend with his jock doppelgΓ€nger from another timeline.

Against the advice of her teacher, Em attempts to rescue her friends. But a strange alliance of government agents and creatures from a demon realm is determined to stop her at all costs.’

A strong, unique storyline. I’m definitely keen to go back and read the first novel, as I feel my rating isn’t truly fair not haven’t read that.

The 2nd story picked where the last one ended and this one was way better than the 1st one. The story this time caught my attention from the very beginning and we got the right information when needed without too much info dump.

There were some new relationships developing through this book and also plenty of plot twists, some funnier but some more serious. I enjoyed the relationship development between Erik and Drew 2 even tho Erik was still sort of into an old relationship - which complicated things.

The 1st Drew had an enormous character growth through this story and I enjoyed the mental link he shared with Drew 2.

The conversations between them did improve a bit, but I still feel there's something missing to make it more interesting, their conversations just feel flat and boring.

Overall this 2nd story has been better and I've enjoyed it more than the 1st one, the story as the first one contains queer representatives and cancer survivor.

I honestly don’t know what to say. I love this series. I’m not sure if there’s a third book, but still this was brilliant. The progression of characters, the PLOT, the ending! everything was great I would read again in a heartbeat.

This was a fast read and a great YA storyline. It was an interesting world though I wish I read the first book!

I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Thank you Netgalley for providing a copy of Unfolding: The Multiverse Diaries byΒ Graham Bower in exchange for an honest review.β €
β €
Unfolding is a vivid adventure into the life of Em, a college student who can travel to alternate realities in her dreams. She is on a mission to find her two friends, who are trapped in alternate dimensions, and fix a tear in reality that could jeopardize the whole universe. β €
β €
I enjoyed the storytelling of Unfolding and the multiple points of view and timelines. The story has many unique elements such as Indian mythology and religious aspects and an emphasis on the metaphysical. Em is a strong main character and all of the supporting characters are lovable and interesting. β €
β €
This is a good read for Mid-grade and teen book lovers who are drawn to Fantasy Adventures!β €

Unfolding is a fun middle-grade/YA book with likable characters and a great plot. It may be helpful to read book 1 first. I was kind of lost at times.
