Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling authors Neil Gaiman and Michael Reaves deliver a thrilling sequel to the science fiction novel InterWorld, full of riveting interdimensional battles and alternate realities.

After mastering the ability to walk between dimensions, Joey Harker and his fellow InterWorld freedom fighters are now on a mission to maintain peace between the rival powers of magic and science who seek to control all worlds.

When a stranger named Acacia somehow follows Joey back to InterWorld's base, things get complicated. No one knows who she is or where she's from - or how she knows so much about InterWorld.

Dangerous times lie ahead for Joey and the mission. There's a traitor hidden among them, and if Joey has any hope of saving InterWorld, the multiverse, and the mission, he's going to have to rely on his wits - and, just possibly, on the mysterious Acacia Jones.

With a story conceived by Neil Gaiman and Michael Reaves and written by Michael and Mallory Reaves, this mind-bending follow-up to the exciting science fiction novel InterWorld is a compelling fantasy adventure through time and space, in which the future depends on a young man who is more powerful than he realizes.

fun, and exciting

listened on a car ride home through 2 states, kept me awake thru the night.

good sequel!

a little less surprising than book one but still a good entertainment!!!! great characters.. If you like space, time and parallel worlds, this is your book!

A grate story in my eyes

Well I loved the them and the mistory but I didn’t want Joaquin to die or wut ever happened to him but I still LOVED IT so I gave you a 5 star revue

Dull monotone voice acting

The voice acting was subpar for most of the book. The reader went overboard trying to portray an aloof teenage boy. The first book had a much better performance.

Not as good as the first

Second book of the series missed the mark compared to the first book in a few ways.
The quick comic comments that were present in the first book were missing in the second
While the first book was action packed, the second went to such an extreme that made it harder to follow and more unbelievable that a character could endure so many events in such a short period of time.
As is the case in many series, a change of narrator did not do the story justice. While at times, the inflections and accents were dead on with the opening tale, there were too many times that the narrative sounded like a condescending 30 year old, rather than the 17 year old portrayed by the author. Hoping for better fare in the finale

A disappointing sequel

I really loved the first interworld book. I did not feel the same way about this one.

The largest and most glaring issue is the switch of narrator, the voice actor from the first book really contributed to the character of Joey Harker, while this one had a dumb macho voice I might expect to be narrating an over-the-top zombie novel.

There was also a pretty significant shift in what the two books were like as well, the first book was full of interesting world building, and this one was much less interesting. Also, the first book had some really hefty emotional bits with him and his family, this one not so much.

Also, the world of this book feels like it breaks with the spirit of the first one.

This is a great standalone book in the series

Interworld is a series of books that actually has a flowchart online. There are so many books, I have just finished this one and it doesn't leave you hanging. The narrator does a really good job with the characters.

A little slow-moving

Interesting continuation of the original story, but feels like it's lacking something. Just doesn't keep you on the edge of your seat the same way that the first novel did. I plan to listen to the third book, and don't regret the time I spent on this one, but am hoping that Joey is a little more proactive in driving the story instead of spending half of it getting beat up and dragged around which is what much of this book felt like.

Great sequel

I can’t wait to listen to the third book. Downloading it now. Very talented author.

Good book.

It was a good book. The story was great and it was worth the money. I would recommend this book.
