Fantastic, though it didn't quite reach the heights of The Will of the Many for me. That was a 5-star read, and this is more of a solid 4-4.5. It's a great follow-up that really expands the scope of the story.

Will of the many ending spoilers below.

The three worlds we get to explore are all interesting in their own way, though the two new ones do require some significant worldbuilding upfront. The back half of the book is definitely stronger once all that groundwork is laid and things can really start moving.

My only real issue was the chapter-to-chapter flow. Switching between the three worlds could be a bit jarring at times, and there were definitely moments where I found myself itching to get back to one storyline to see what happens next. That said, the endings and cliffhangers for each world are absolutely great. I'm already dying for the next book.

Better than Razorblade Tears. I couldn't put it down.

If you liked Dark Matter, you should read this. I found the core concept of Recursion is far more interesting than Dark matter and felt like this book better executes on it's core concept. And the ending was absolute perfection for me.

Better than Razorblade Tears. I couldn't put it down.

Just as creepy and unsettling as the movie if not more. I enjoyed the extra emphasis on exploring mental illness as a potential cause. If you are a fan of the movie, you'll enjoy this.
