3'5-4 stars ❤️

Pues me ha gustado muchísimo! El tema de los universos paralelos siempre me ha parecido interesantísimo y es algo sobre lo que aún no había leído. Si no me equivoco, Claudia Gray es fan de Fringe y se nota, aunque en ATPOY el viaje interdimensional o entre universos es completamente diferente. Me ha parecido súper original y cada vez que los personajes iban a un nuevo universo estaba intrigada por ver cómo sería y qué diferencias tendría respecto a los anteriores.
