Rating: 2.5 I had a hard time getting into this book. It starts off a little bit too slow for me and most of the time there isn't anything happening. I was intrigued by the concept of the story and I think the whole doppelgänger in a different dimension is amazing but the execution lacked in depth. You clearly see that it is a debut novel when it comes to the storytelling and language used. The names reminded me too much of Harry Potter and I had a hard time remembering what has been what. Another thing that was disturbing was the way Dezaray fell in love with vanilla-smelling Milo. It was over the top and way too much insta love and soulmate bleh. I liked Lexovia the best but sadly her part was way smaller than her lovesick counterpart. All in all this book has a fantastic concept and if we remember that it is a debut novel than I can look past the negative points and still give it 2.5 stars. The ending was nice and I hope the second book will be better.
