Book Review: Tether (Many-Worlds #2) by Anna Jarzab

17928233
Tether, the sequel to Tandem, continues the captivating tale of rebellion and romance that spans parallel worlds.
Everything repeats.
Sasha expected things to go back to normal once she got back on Earth. But now that she knows parallel worlds are real, and that an alternate version of herself exists in a world called Aurora, her old life no longer seems to make sense . . . and her heart breaks daily for Thomas, the boy she left behind. Troubled by mysterious, often terrifying visions and the echoes of a self she was just beginning to discover, Sasha makes the difficult decision to journey once more through the tandem.
Thomas is waiting for her on the other side, and so is strange, otherworldly Selene, Sasha’s analog from a third universe. Sasha, Selene, and their other analog, Juliana, have a joint destiny, and a new remarkable power, one that could mean salvation for Selene’s dying planet. With Thomas’s help, Sasha and Selene search for the missing Juliana. But even if they can locate her, is Sasha willing to turn her back on love to pursue a fate she’s not sure she believes in?

I've been counting down the days until I had this book in my hands.
It was kind of worth the wait.
This is the sequel to Tandem, which I read in December of 2013. So I've been waiting a good while.
Would've helped had I re-read the first one but it was too bad to catch on and remember all that had happened. Plus, any book dealing with parallel universes requires some kind of knowledge to fully understand or it will be hard to follow.
The thing I didn't like was that it was really fast-paced. It went from "I wish I was there (the parallel universe)" to actually being there. Like, calm down, let her longing show, so that the reader is more excited to go. Then there was they whole "does he love me anymore???" to a heavy makeout session. Calm. Down. Give me more of that angst. Let her actually believe it before you bring out the truth.

Maybe that was just me, but it was really quick. Also, each book is supposed to be longer than the previous one, have you not seen the Harry Potter series?
I'm still really excited for the next - and last- one. 
Not sure what it'll be like but it will be good. Don't know how, since there hasn't been a set "bad guy" throughout the books. No linking villain set to destroy every universe.
Hopefully I won't have to wait another two years to find out. I want all the books right now.

Read: May 2015
My Rating: 4.5 stars / 5 stars
