Work InformationHow the Multiverse Got Its Revenge by K. Eason
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  catseyegreen | Apr 5, 2023 |   This sequel is missing some of the slow political machinations of the first novel but is jam-packed with plenty of sci fi action. While I missed some of the quieter character moments, there is still plenty to enjoy here with the whole cast of characters getting chances to grow and develop (except for maybe Zhang, which is a bummer). If you liked the first book, you'll be pleased with this sequel. Now I need to get back to checking for announcements on book three... (  ) MickyFine | Feb 16, 2021 | These books are so much fun, blending humor in the form of a snarky narrator who already knows how everything turned out and is giving us a much-needed clear-eyed history and serious reflections on what it means to work together and make alliances and just do the best you can with the incomplete information you have. It was so much fun to return to this mutliverse and characters. (  ) bell7 | Feb 6, 2021 | Rory Thorne and her team have gone into exile as privateers, or something like that. But they can’t stay out of the interstellar fray. They run into some new aliens and encounter a sentient superweapon with the most unlikely name in superweapon history. Rory will need all her princess skills and fairy naming gifts to save herself and her friends. Eason says in her acknowledgements that creating sequels is hard. Indeed. And this novel does not have quite the zip and freshness of the first one. But it is not a terrible popcorn read. (  ) Tom-e | Nov 9, 2020 | no reviews | add a review

Rory Thorne must use the fairy blessings gifted to her to change the multiverse in the second book in this space opera duology. After avoiding an arranged marriage, thwarting a coup, and inadvertently kick-starting a revolution, Rory Thorne has renounced her title and embraced an unglamorous life as a privateer on the edge of human space. Her new life is interrupted when Rory and her crew-former royal bodyguards, Thorsdottir and Zhang, and coconspirator Jaed-encounter an abandoned ship registered under a false name, seemingly fallen victim to attack. As they investigate, they find evidence of vicious technology and arithmancy, alien and far beyond known capabilities. The only answer to all the destruction is the mysterious, and unexpected, cargo: a rose plant. One that reveals themself to be sentient-and designed as a massive biological weapon. Rose seeks to escape their intended fate, but before Rory and her friends can get Rose off the derelict ship, the alien attackers return. Rory and her friends must act fast-and wisely-to save themselves, and Rose, and maybe the multiverse, too, from a war humanity cannot win. No library descriptions found. |

Less about Rory and more about the large political picture, this book is quite different in flavor from the first. I found it to be more thoughtful than the previous book.
