Our view

“The Space Between Worlds” is a gritty multiverse debut with a hard-edged heroine, Cara, who is its best argument. Some readers enjoy how travel between parallel worlds is used to ask what circumstance makes of a person, and a setting where queer relationships pass without comment. Others find the second half weaker than the first, the story thin and the central romance underwritten. It is read for character and ideas first.
