![]() ![]() The strongest point of The Unquiet is probably its atmosphere. Or even more importantly, how can alternates talk to each other on the phone? Lira is not a scientist, but I would have liked some more insights into this. ![]() It’s never explained why there are two parallel universes, or why the portals between them have formed. ![]() Obviously the version in The Unquiet isn’t a carbon copy, but sometimes I wished it distinguished itself more from its source material, especially because the book provides very little world building in itself. Probably because I love that show so much and have watched it too many times, but still. Everything from the alternates, to one earth falling apart while the other lived on, reminded me of Fringe. Mythology-wise, The Unquiet leans heavily on the parallel-universe concept which was central to the TV show Fringe. Slowly, it becomes clear what their mission truly encompasses. She and other children are being trained as sleepers on a special mission on Earth I. She is from Earth II, the version of earth that is slowly disappearing. In a covert way, The Unquiet condones genocide, and I cannot accept that. Not the story itself, even though the things the main character goes through are terrible, but the ethic implications the book makes. The Unquiet makes me thoroughly uncomfortable.
