Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me a free advanced copy of this book to read and review.

I have elected not to read and review this book due to time constraints. Thank you for the opportunity.

The metaphor here is a bit heavy handed. I dentity is fractured and so is reality. Brewer hits that a bit too hard. It doesn't help that none of the realities are especially believable. They push things too far, under explain the world, and under develop the characters.

Into the Real is dark, strange, and dealing with gender queer, abuse, conversion, and death. Quinn's story is told in three different points of view. I couldn’t get into it first, but the more I read it started liking the book. Normally, I stay away from dark books, but I enjoyed this one.

First things first i want to thank netgalley for the opportunity to read into the real by z brewer have been a long time fan and i was super excited to be able to review it. Now saying that These will be my thoughts and opinions unbiased.

Now When i found this book was coming i got super excited and it did not disappoint, I love the idea of having multiple versions of the same character if gives you a certain perspective on the them since you can view them in different aspects. I like how is was also incorporated that the main character was genderqueer i feel like it helped understand the characters further.

I like that each character borders the lGTBQ+ Spectrum and gives a little of everything from the first few pages you find yourself hooked and wanting to keep going. from chapter to chapter and from each story to the next your just captivated and every single one gives you a different type of emotion to go with brining it all together in such a unique way.

As for the characters i cant imagine anyone else beside Quinn to be following through out the book, they just fit so well to their placements and parts they play in the over all story.
I do highly recommend anyone to pick up if they want a book that will take them on an adventure and an emotional roller coaster.

It takes a little while to fully appreciate Brewer's taught "Into the Real." At first, it isn't quite clear if this a story of time travel, alternate realities, or magical realism as we are introduced to three protagonists all named Brume and struggling against a society that they struggle to feel comfortable within. Eventually, the pieces do come together and take on a really interesting metaphysical journey as the Brume's try to come to terms with themselves. It's not a simple story to explain without spoiling some major points. The key is that the author Brewer is very careful to lay the groundwork early and doesn't veer too far outside the main storyline; this is important for a story like this to work. Fans of Chuck Palahniuk ("Fight Club") or the Wachowskis will fall in love with this style of storytelling. Some may struggle to understand the purpose of the Brumes, yet it's a fascinating journey for those willing to suspend their disbelief.
