But then one of her doppelgangers dies under mysterious circumstances, and Cara is plunged into a new world with an old secret. What she discovers will connect her past and future in ways she never could have imagined - and reveal her own role in a plot that endangers not just her Earth, but the entire multiverse.
A stunning science fiction debut, The Space Between Worlds is both a cross-dimensional adventure and a powerful examination of identity, privilege and belonging.
A great exploration of many concepts by a protagonist who stays true to herself
This is a character driven story in a dystopian, desert inspired multiverse. I liked the characters and it holds together well for the most part. For a multiverse premise the world(s) felt too small to me, which serves the story but maybe diminishes the mood. I really like the mysterious liminal space as a character in itself, which tempts me to continue the series.
