It's official: Planesrunner is an exhilarating read! It's a perfectly balanced tale of science and adventure, and I enjoyed it immensely. I am so glad I have the sequel ready to devour!
My favourite aspect of the book is the world-building. Parallel universe and multiplicity are the main concerns of the novel, and when Everett's father, a theoretical physicist, finds a way to open gates into the these other worlds, and creates a map for them, Everett's life changes forever. Soon we're careening into an alternate London, where fossil fuels never took off, and steam generated electricity is main power...
