Infinity Gate

Overall a pretty enjoyable book but it just didn't have the plot or character development to make it completely satisfying. Not helped by the fact the book finishes on a cliffhanger with most arcs unfinished in preparation for a sequel. 

The concept of the pandomonium planet collective and “The Registry”  (Think Thunderhead from Sythe) really intrigued; but, they got barely more than a mention as to their existence. Hopefully book 2 actually explores these concepts more and brings the much needed depth to the world. 

This book has a lot to say about AI, slavery, consciousness, gender and much more.
Unfortunately it does it in the most boring, most unlogical way possible. The plot can only happen in the way it does because everyone involved acts in a way no one would ever act. There are parts of the book where you know exactly what is going to happen, because you have read this all before, done in better ways from others authors yet you slog through the pages only to be surprised how unoriginal that all is.
Instead of exploring the vast multiverse with its many wonders and species we get treated to pages and pages of the boring and sad lives of the unlikeable protagonists.

Skip this one. Read ‘The Long Earth' instead or watch Sliders.
