- first person POV, but kind of omniscient
- the meta-ness of the book in the end

» disliked «
- the mystery of The Carls was interesting, but the game and

another version of him/his brother was just unnecessary

» overall «
this didn't need to be a duology, but it was alright. i honestly liked the ambiguous confounding ending of the first book better

- the ending
- the descriptions of Oliver's relationships with Meredith and James
- the fact that Shakespeare is everywhere

» disliked «
- the set up for

Richard's death was both too long and perfect. i feel like the book would've benefitted from revealing that Richard was the one who dies earlier

» overall «
damn, that ending 

this had so much potential :/

- ending resolution of

universe A with both of them alive, and universe B of both of them dead. i'm glad that it wasn't a case of Universe A Hanna with universe B Nik

.

» disliked «
- the romance was not as good, especially since for most of the time, Hanna was in a relationship with and in love with someone else
- the cameo of Kady and Ezra was not as good as i had hoped. it was pretty lackluster

» overall «
the concept of a rogue AI killing the people they are supposed to take care of due to twisted reasonings was great. however, the presence of

two universes crossing over and merging for a while

is not as great.

this was not as good as the first book :(
