I didn't finish. I didn't hate it but the main character is really unlikable.

This book was a pleasant surprise! The concept of involuntary travel between different worlds drew me in, and the author delivers on that premise beautifully.

What really made this story shine for me were the characters - they felt genuine and relatable. The protagonist's voice hit the perfect balance between being overwhelmed by his situation (amnesia brought on by his circumstances) and maintaining a sense of humor about it all. The author has a knack for finding the absurd moments in even the most dire situations without undermining the stakes.

I loved how the story balanced exciting, fast-paced adventures with gradually unveiling the deeper mysteries of the Traveler's journey and the broader multiverse. Each new world brought fresh challenges and dangers that kept the action moving, while still feeling purposeful to the larger story rather than just random encounters.

I'm definitely looking forward to reading more from this author. If you enjoy character-driven sci-fi with humor and heart, this is worth your time.

Great story still but, just like with a lot of the rr novels, I feel like it was about twice as long as it needed to be. Still worth a read if you enjoyed the first one though.

Great book. Lots of plot holes but still a lot of fun.

Two negative things though: While I was amused that the author used Esperanto as the magic-spell-language, I was disappointed that there wasn't a single Red Dwarf reference that I noticed. Also, I don't know whether to be smug or embarrassed that I was able to pick his Esperanto grammar apart... “Porko latina” isn't ‘pig latin' it's “Latin Pig.”

...jes, mi devas diri ke, ‘mi devus esti embarasita'...😬

Ack! I usually don't mind cliffhangers too much... but this one is just blatant. Seriously, in the middle of a thought.
