Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Bradley on October 01, 2021

Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat with a lot of reviewers for this one. I really enjoyed the light touch, the humor, and the character-centric royal intrigue of the first book. At least, I enjoyed it enough to want to see where Rory would go with it. The second book just fell into a fairly average s......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on November 13, 2020

There are so few books about sentient plants with the potential to wipe out life as we know it that it's a pity this one isn't better. I enjoyed its predecessor and its nimble subversion of fairy tales and science fiction tropes, but How the Multiverse Got Its Revenge reads as though it has lost its......more

2024 update: tried to reread this on audio after rereading Book 1....and yeah, I still struggled to get through this one. I ended up DNFing around 40%. I really enjoyed the first book, but this one just doesn't do it for me in the same way. 2020 review: 2.5 stars? I hate to say it, but I struggled t......more

Goodreads review by Tammy on November 12, 2020

I received this book for free from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.The nitty-gritty: An enjoyable but slightly uneven sequel in K. Eason's imaginative Star Wars inspired space opera series. Last year I was surpris......more

Goodreads review by Ay on April 09, 2021

yeah, nah. There is the same verbose omniscient narrator as the first book. So if you liked it there, it will be okay here, I suppose. It's more space opera-ey than the first book (a plus). But it's all through the filter of the narrator, and I ended up skimming my way through most of it. I didn't r......more
