One choice. Two possible timelines. And a world hanging in the balance.
It’s the summer of 1986 and reluctant prodigy Nick Hayes is a student at Cambridge University, working with world-renowned mathematician Professor Halligan. He just wants to be a regular student, but regular isn’t really an option for a boy-genius cancer survivor who’s already dabbled in time travel.
When he crosses paths with a mysterious yet curiously familiar girl, Nick discovers that creases have appeared in the fabric of time, and that he is at the centre of the disruption. Only Nick can resolve this time paradox before the damage becomes catastrophic for both him and the future of the world. Time is running out - literally.
Wrapped up with him in this potentially apocalyptic scenario are his ex-girlfriend, Mia, and fellow student Helen. Facing the world-ending chaos of a split in time, Nick must act fast and make the choice of a lifetime - or lifetimes.
Game on.

Anyyyyway, it wasn't my call to make so I'd have to stick with the Multiverse speech (which isn't official) - "WE'RE ALL INFINITIES." So I'll take comfortu in the thought of another Multiverse with Nick having his Eva.
The story however, like the first book was still well-written but it still took me 40% into the book to be really engaged in the story and dedicate (by dedicate, I meant trade my precious hours of sleep) myself in finishing this today.
<i>"We're all infinities."</i>

I liked this one better than the first. The plot was more focused. Less D&D, and more character and plot development. I do feel like Lawrence tried a bit too hard to come across like this was a plausible form of time-travel. There were moments where there was a lot of talk of equations and other logistics, which felt overly-complicated, while trying to keep a tone more on par with Stranger Things or Back to the Future. And then, in the end, there was something called a "time hammer," which felt out of place in contrast to the previous efforts to be heady about the concept of time.
I still enjoyed the idea a bit more than the execution, but the introduction of new characters, paradox, and interwoven timelines made this one more interesting and more fun than its predecessor. I am interested to see where Book 3 goes, and hope it ties up some of the mysteries that are still pretty unknown as to why all this is happening to Nick.
Frow's narration is pretty easy to listen to, but nothing special. Some of the voices could be more distinct.
Tries too hard to be a "smart" time travel book

Limited Wish continues the story with Nick now at college. There’s more of a science aspect to this book than the first one. It kind of reminds me of the characters in The Big Bang Theory with a bit of Good Will Hunting tossed in. We also start to learn that maybe everything isn’t as set in stone as the first book implied. I sometimes get confused with books when there is time travel and paradoxes involved but Lawrence does a good job explaining everything. I’m also curious on how much research Lawrence put in on the science and math in this book.
I look forward the last book in the trilogy, but I am a somewhat disappointed that it’s not going to be out until November, especially with how close together the first two were released.
Matthew Frow does an excellent job with the narration of this series and really provides the feel of being in the U.K.
Just as good as book 1

This really makes you think about how decisions you make now can affect the future. Lawrence really pulls you in and makes you love each and every character even the ones you hate. I would love to see this as a 20 book series!
Brilliant story. Really makes you think!

If anyone could make math sexy again (or probably for the first time ever), Mark Lawrence has done it. I’m also pretty sure he has invented time travel and not a single person is filling out a ballot for him to win a Nobel Prize. Do those things have ballots? I’m too lazy to Wiki it.
Oh Nicky Hayes. Wicked smart, sick as a dog, and completely oblivious to the way women work. Besides the cancer part and the fact that he is a boy genius, he sounds like any other rando dude on the street. Oh, but did I mention that his future self has visited him on a couple of occasions?
While Limited Wish has similar fundamentals to its predecessor, One Word Kill, Lawrence ramps up all the science, D&D goodness, and love interests to the power of 2 (probably more, but it makes sense because it is the sequel?). I know Mark is a smart cookie, and I don’t/probably shouldn’t need to know a lot of the maths jargon, but he makes it feel mystical in a way, like it is some kind of world-building he is introducing us to. On to of that, it really makes me want to play Dungeons & Dragons, if I had any friends (sigh) or at least re-watch Stranger Things a couple of times.
I’ve been a fan of Lawrence for a couple of years now, and while I am still amazed that he can write science fiction just as well as he can fantasy, this shouldn’t be a revelation. Mark has the chops to match or top anyone in the publishing industry and since we are still awaiting books from the Martin’s and Rothfuss’s of the world, he is steadily gaining more and more of a spotlight. I don’t think it’ll be too long before everyone starts picking his books up and fully realize just how good this dood is.
