This was fun!
Paradoxically, it has better writing style than the prequel published in 2017. Maybe a different editor? Hm...

This is an interesting romp with much potential. It's kind of poking fun at writing tropes.
And it's a little a lot unsettling if you think about the idea too deeply.
(Because... What if somebody is writing your story? What if somebody out there is meddling with your life without you knowing? You are welcome. Signed, Paranoia)

There's obviously Something Fishy beyond the surface, and I'm really curious to see it through. Sticking with the series for now.

VERDICT : GIVE IT A TRY!

So worlds DO get to you.
Still not completely sold on the idea of multi-world interractions, but interested enough to stick with the story.

Still fun.
This was more of a Roman story.
With a sprinkling of intergalactic politics thrown in.

This was a fun little adventure.
The writing style was a little weird and somewhat ... disjointed?

Well, apparently I'm reading on to find out what's next.
