Buy it: AmazonSynopsis: Honeymoon plans shouldn’t include space cruise tickets for a party of five.After the wedding—and the Ice Dame's corporate exploitation of the event—Triana and O'Neill embark on their honeymoon, only to find Hy-Mi booked them on a CelebVid cruise to Armstrong along with Vanti, Elodie, and Leo.When the jump to Armstrong throws Triana and O'Neill across the multi-verse, they must outsmart alternate versions of their friends, a lunatic professor and his corporate sponsor, and a cargo hold full of egg-throwing rodents if they hope to return to their own reality.
Oh. My. God. I loved this book SO much! This series and world is already one of my favorites, but this book in particular was a lot of fun!
Ty and Triana are on their honeymoon, but of course something goes wrong because trouble follows Triana wherever she goes. Lol. It's usually a mystery and a dead body that are the problem, but this time it’s alternate universes!
This is something I was not expecting, but loved! It was a cool concept that was very well executed and put the characters in some very interesting situations. I don't want to say too much because spoilers, but it was just very fun and I enjoyed the adventures in all the universes we followed. Okay, I will say this because it’s in the synopsis, but Ty and Triana ended up in another universe, and it was insane! But Leo, Elodie, and Vanti (who is Elodie's security now!) have a whole other situation to deal with as well, and that was crazy too! It was great! 😆 Lol.
Oh, and then we got some Vanti POVs, which was another thing that was unexpected but totally welcome! This series has only ever been in Triana's POV, and I love her, but I also love Vanti so it was nice to be inside the secret agent's head for a bit. Especially when she interacted with Triana's cousin Arun. Lol.
This guy is bad news for my super-controlled secret agenty-ness.
I really liked Arun and I hope we get to see more of him! And I hope this spins off into a Vanti-centric series, because I love her! And I loved the entire cast of characters and their fun banter. I just loved this book, okay? Lol.
Alternate universes in the Space Janitor world is not a thing I thought I needed, but glad we got because it was so much fun! I’m really looking forward to whatever is next in the Space Janitor world!
Alternate universes done well is so much fun! Thank you for the review of a series I should look into for sure.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely do! It is such a fun world, and the characters are great!
