4.0
Book one was the best from the series - book three made up for the utter letdown of book 2. So I guess the sum of it's parts makes Interworld satisfactory in the end.
I noticed the "voice change" in Book 2 and I have a feeling Gaiman wrote less of that than would have us believe. It's pretty obvious in Book 3 but I don't feel "hoodwinked" because it's right there on the front page: Husband and Wife Reeves wrote this. With that in mind, I did have a good time and was rooting for the Joeys, the Harkers, the Jays and the iterations all the way
Plot/Storyline/Themes:
Thank You Mr Dimas for asking all the questions so Joey could remind us what had happened in book one. I had almost forgotten. Great refresher. So book 3 is about, well, saving the world from FrostNight and taking down Binary-Hex once and for all. Oh and there a loose end in Acacia that needs to be resolved.
Two Sentences, A Scene or less - Characters:
Best Joey: our Joey boy! Usually I don't care for the hero but he is sufficiently flawed and comes back stronger from his mistakes.
Adorable Joey: J’r’ohoho the crntaur
Magnificent Joey: Jo, Jakkon, Josef, Jarl and Jari
Hilarious Joey: Jai and his vocabulary
Tragic Joey: J/O. I miss him.
Worst Joey: Josephine
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Scene: :
Reunited in a cave in a mountain in Interworlds Past in prehistoric Earth. It was soo sweet!
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Quotes:
🖤 “I was used to not knowing where I was, but I’d never really had to question when I was. Not until my recent association with a Time Agent, anyway.” (Joey on Time in Interworld)
🖤 “Hue was like the universe’s best looking glass, like the missing element that made everything fall into place. That made everything make sense. Walking was no longer about finding the door, it was about suddenly realizing you were surrounded by doors and you knew exactly where every single one of them went.” (The best thing about Interworld. Hue)
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Concepts:
