The Multiverser is an original work that truly transports the reader to a vivid alternate reality. The author has clearly spent a great amount of effort on their worldbuilding and on the special powers certain characters possess. I don't fully understand how everything works, but in a way that leaves me wanting to read on in full faith that the author will explain everything in due time. The use of tension and action had me on the edge of my seat and even the use of alternating first and third person pov was a choice that showed off the author's style and voice. Kayla is a unique, dynamic character whose every thought and action is intriguing. This book was a pleasure to read and I plan to continue.

While the cover gives the reader a feel for the book, it could be more elaborate and professional. The blurb might not make sense at first, but it becomes clearer as the pages turn. The MULTIVERSER also makes the reader understand the power Kayla holds, and the pros and cons can be seen vaguely by reading the title. Grammar issues are rarely called to mind here. Use of punctuation, parts of speech, capital letters etc are respected by the author although the use of third person and first person is not constant and that can cause a lot of confusion. It confused me a lot. Although I read four chapters I believe the plot has a clear path. It had an interesting pull to me. The predicament in which Kayla is in as the MULTIVERSER and Tyrell as a trained officer is bound to connect although we will have to wait and see. Kayla has a new feel, being detached to the world is something many teens can relate to. Depressed people also feel something like she does. I really like her character and hope it develops more. Tyrell is also a well built character with goals and reasons for having them. Although I fear he might be a tad bit stereotype, in my own opinion. The author's style of writing is commendable as it helps the reader build a solid image of the book in their heads. Most important, her style is consistent but she can still work on it. I personally like the construction of the book and would advise any one to read it.
