If you're having girl troubles I feel bad for you son... you got 99 parallel universes and a girlfriend in every one.Quantum Coin is the follow up to Fair Coin, which was a fun YA romp about a geeky kid named Ephraim Scott who discovers a quarter in his locker that lets him jump into parallel universes. And in some of them, Jena Kim, the girl of his dreams, actually likes him. The sci-fi twist is that in a more futuristic version of their world, Jena, Ephraim and his best friend Nathan are reali...

“We're deciding the fate of the multiverse with a flip of a coin. Heads or tails, doc. If that isn't a game, I don't know what is.” I think maybe it'd just been too long since I'd read book 1. I just didn't find myself really enjoying this one. The cast of characters felt big and I never really remembered who had what role. I didn't find much adventure in the story, like I'd hoped, but again, I think a lot of this had to do with the amount of years since I'd read the first one and just no longer...

This triumphant follow-up to Fair Coin has the advantage of having a clear genre from the get-go. While the previous book suddenly revealed a hidden premise, this one can skip some of that world-building and head straight to the good stuff. It makes for a more even read overall. The logistics involved get pretty complex, as might be expected from a book featuring alternate universes. I suspect I might be able to poke some holes if I tried--but there's never any point at which I wished to try. Ex...

I received a copy of Quantum Coin through First Reads and I finished it today and let me say it was great! I really like how Myers expanded all the characters introduced in the first novel. The plot took some turns I didn't expect and we learned more about the multiverse, which is always enjoyable. Overal I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good story !

My mind is officially boggled and blown. But mostly boggled. Quantum Coin was an awesome sequel and conclusion! Of course there had to be some lingering side effects to Ephraim using that coin so much! I wasn't sure what this one could possibly be about since Fair Coin seemed to wrap up quite nicely, but there's plenty of new and exciting stuff happening to Ephraim and his friends as they try to set the multiverse right. He was hoping to be done with jumping from universe to universe, but then Z...

I was so excited to see that the sequel to "Fair Coin" came out... but then I read it. "Fair Coin" was fast paced and really kept me involved. I don't really know what happened to "Quantum Coin." I didn't like a single character in it. I didn't particularly like the plot. Given that, I did find the writing to be solid and it was action packed. Although I wasn't fond of the sequel, it won't keep me from reading further works by this author.

So, Quantum Coin picks up the story a year later. Ephraim, Jena, Nathan, Mary and Shelley are attending their prom when something peculiar happens. As Jena returns from the powder room Ephraim has a huge shock when he realises it's not Jena but Zoe. Jena appears behind her with Mary and Shelley. As the friends wonder what is happening Nathan is being Nathan and recording the events on his camera...and he captures something truly bizarre. Ephraim thought he had finished with shifting through para...

I bought this for my 13 year old son after he read Fair Coin(at Dracon*Con the author signed it for him) after devouring that book he then begged me to get this one. He ate these books up like candy, he tells me about it in an excited run on sentence but I get the fact that he LOVES these books...read each one very quickly and can tell you every detail...he said give it 5 stars !

4.5/5 stars.I really hope this isn't the last book in this series, guys. "Quantum Coin" goes to even more crazy places (and finds crazier people) compared to book one, and yet at the same time, I was pretty satisfied with the ending we're given here. Hands down, the "Coin" universe is a pretty great one and one of my favorites of the year so far. If you like your YA full of action and wonderful surprises, be sure to check out the second book in the "Coin" series, "Quantum Coin".In this second bo...

Fair Coin felt like a complete story, but Quantum Coin proves that, in reality, it was only the setup for the REAL story. This follow-up novel fully embraces the sci-fi premise of the first book, forgoing the "wishing coin" story and delving into hard science fiction. The fate of the multiverse is at stake, and E.C. Myers tackles parallel universes, analogs and the identity issues thereof, time travel, quantum mechanics, and other concepts, not to mention the sort of love polygons you don't

Read the full review at www.appraisingpages.comThis sequel takes the story to the next level quite literally. Ephraim thinks his experiences in the multiverse are over now that he’s back in his home universe and the controller dismantled (or so he thinks) but a new adventure is just beginning. It can be so hard for sequels to live up to their originals but Myers keeps his original idea of the fascinating multiverse and created a new adventure for them.I love the complex and layered story Myers c...

Three and a half stars, really. Also, full disclosure: the author is a friend of mine, so I may not be as objective as I might be with other books. Having read and very much enjoyed "Fair Coin", I was eager to read its sequel. I enjoyed "Quantum Coin", but it didn't have the same magic for me as its predecessor. First of all, I felt that the story didn't really get going until about halfway through, at which point it took off with a zoom and became as non-put-downable as "Fair Coin". Second of a...

Originally posted on A Reader of Fictions.Obviously, you should be cautious reading this review unless you've already read Fair Coin. I will keep things as spoiler-free as possible for book one, but that's pretty tricky. First and last paragraph will be spoiler-free totally. Now, if you've read my review for Fair Coin, you know that I quite liked it, but did have some reservations. Happily, Quantum Coin proves that the second book in a series can be stronger than its predecessor. If you were on

I didn't think I could like this sequel more the Fair Coin--that book just got more and more fascinating as Ephraim discovered more about the situation he was in--but I definitely did. Here the complications are right out there from the start, and I really enjoyed watching the characters try various ways of fixing things, forcing themselves to keep moving forwards despite some painful failures. I especially enjoyed seeing the characters struggle with moral issues. I appreciated that, like Fair C...

I wouldn't say this was riveting with action, but it certainly was entertaining. And had enough psuedo-science to make you question if it would really be possible . . . MacLeod Andrews is fantastic on the audiobook.

Originally posted on Fables Library Quantum Coin is the second book to Fair Coin, and I think the last since no other has been announced (to my knowledge). First I would love to start off by expressing my love for Fair Coin. In my other review, I went on and on about how much I loved it and how it wasn’t your typical YA cookie cutter novel. This is so true, even for Quantum Coin, but Quantum Coin was in my opinion, not needed. Fair Coin would have been better off had it been an only book, the e...

Definitely not the as good of a story as the first book but well worth the read. 3.5 stars

I have to say that I enjoyed the first book more. Across both books however, I really enjoyed the characters. Dealing with multiple universes, there are multiple incarnations of each character and it was fun to see all of the various personalities of one person. If you thought the first book had too many Nathans, this book is definitely a Jena overload. At some points the dialogue could be confusing because of all the different analogs of the same person involved.The plot of this book is that th...

This is the sequel to Fair Coin, and it picks up about a year after the other novel resolves. I give much credit to the author for making the first book a complete novel--I'm weary of the current affliction of writing a novel, tearing it in half, and publishing it in two volumes, pretending they are both stand-alone offerings. Myers did an excellent job of making relatable characters. His protagonist, especially, was someone the reader wanted to succeed. The science in the sequel got murky and e...
