More About This Book

Overview

Just when Maddie Angler thinks she's over the death of her longtime boyfriend, Alvin, she discovers that he's not only alive, but he may just be part god. And a killer. Now it's up to her to unite Eight Worlds she didn't even know existed in the first place, before chaos reigns.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Steampunk fiction podcaster Barron (The Aldersgate Cycle) misses the mark in her print debut, a story of alternate realities and battling demigods dragged down by heavy-handed detailing and flat characterization. After a portal between worlds opens in Boston, Maddie Angle, a grieving art history student, awakens in the body of Mattie Roth, a sexually aggressive, opium-addicted version of Maddie called a twain. Maddie’s quest to locate her vanished lover could have been a dazzling adventure. Unfortunately, Barron relies on repetitive expository dialogue, and by the time the plot has been explained to Maddie yet again, readers will wonder whether she is altered by her new opium habit or merely dense. Efforts to bring the world to life fall similarly flat, as inorganic descriptions of a balloon-suspended mansion and numerous corsets fail to capture steampunk’s hallmark anachronistic anarchy. (Dec.)
Library Journal
Maddie Angler's lover, the brilliant and eccentric graduate student Alvin Roth, has disappeared and is presumed dead. Instead of moving on with her life, Maddie travels to Boston with Alvin's socially challenged younger brother, Randy, to deliver a box of research papers to Alvin's adviser, Dr. Keats. This simple action propels her into a parallel universe where she discovers through encounters with a more gregarious Randy that Alvin is not only alive but that he has discovered the secret of multidimensional travel and grown dangerously powerful. VERDICT Steampunk meets goddess worship in this unusual and highly original story of loves that cross the borders of time and space. Exploring the concept of multiple universes and the social, artistic, scientific, and religious differences among them, Barron's debut is an sf adventure that mixes high action with exquisitely detailed depictions of everyday existence in these alternate worlds.

Jonathan Wood
"A brilliant, eloquent adventure through time, space, and the human heart." -- Jonathan Wood, author of No Hero
Mur Lafferty
"Barron's book is a sexy trek through alternate worlds, with a fascinating and detailed mythology. This one is a steampunk tale that doesn't play by the rules." -- Mur Lafferty, author and podcaster of Heaven and Hell

Meet the Author

Natania Barron has been traveling to other worlds from a very young age, and will be forever indebted to Lucy Pevensie and Meg Murry for inspiring her to go on her own adventures. She currently resides in North Carolina with her family, and is, at heart, a hobbit--albeit it one with a Tookish streak a mile wide.

    Not for me. Lovers of Steampunk and Alice in Wonderland will enjoy it, though

    I¿m not really sure why I thought this was a YA book, but when I first read the synopsis, that is exactly what I was expecting. However, this is not a YA book at all, but rather an adult book with some adult situations that I wouldn¿t necessarily want my teen reading about; not that it¿s extremely bad or extremely erotic, but there are some scenes within that are not my cup of tea, let alone something I would give to a younger reader. Now, my prudish self aside, there weren¿t that many sexual encounters, and the book was very well written as it is, but it wasn¿t really my style. I am still new to the steampunk era, and I haven¿t quite wrapped my head around it all, but I truly believe an avid steampunk reader would love this book. The other worlds within Barron¿s novel were extremely interesting, but I had a little difficulty connecting everything together, though I think this is more reader error than author error. I also feel like this would be the type of novel that lovers of Alice in Wonderland would enjoy as it follows that same type of surreal writing. Unfortunately, it is not for me.
