I saw the cover and I was like "isn't this the cover for world lines?" Then I saw its a sequel. Fantastic. Congratulations to the author.

I have read Worldlines before and I enjoyed it. I can’t wait to dig into this sequel. It follows Gary and his quest for vengeance after the murder of Michelle. But would justice or vengeance be possible considering his circumstance?

Thanks for the tip-off that some of the scenes get repeated as it replays in alternate universes. It does help me manage my expectation of the book. I am still very invested in finding out if Gary gets his justice.

The sequel sounds very interesting like the first book. I had doubts that I might get confused with so many timelines, but your review states otherwise. Thanks!

I previously read Worldlines and I'm really glad to know that Adam decided to write a sequel. I always thought that Gary who is in prison didn't get his justice. Now I want to read this book as soon as possible.

It's amazing how much empathy I have for Gary almost immediately. He explained something completely new, yet you want to believe every word as fact. Even the psychologist not getting the concept of Many Worlds made me a little upset. I do hope he can make an ally here soon. The confines of his environment do not seem stable in the least.

I didn't know Worldlines had a sequel. Gary's experience in prison sounds like it could be made into a spin-off story. Congrats on BOTD.

It's a relief that the author kept the number of characters at a sufficient level; this being a story about multiple timelines/multiverse, it would have been really easy to go overboard and add in more characters than the plot needs. Congratulations on BOTD.

I was not sure how I'd like the sequel but it has already captured me completely, it's amazing and carries the story of the previous novel really well. The plot unravels at a good pace but again it has a lot of repeated events.

This book picks up where Worldliness, the first book in the series, left off. Gary is facing trial for the murder of Michelle and the possibility of a possessed doppelganger complicates the case.

Gary is finally able to catch with the person he believes to be the murderer. I am adding the book to my shelf to know how things played out. Thanks for the review.
