Product Information

Cara's younger sibling Esther lived in Ashtown in the Rurals, an area all about "charity, piety and religion". Esther was warm and generous, all that was good. Could she become ruthless? Cara, as our protagonist, I found was extremely concrete and three-dimensional. She has her flaws, being extremely stubborn but she also carries her own personal traumas with her. Cara explores her history with being physically and emotionally abused and I couldn't help but one, feel for her but also understand her on a deeper level as someone who was emotionally abused. Cara goes THROUGH IT in this story but I can't help but feel proud of her and proud of the life she has made for herself. Human beings are unknowable...Even if you hustle and make it in the rough, you have no idea if you would thrive or die in the light of real riches, if your cleverness would outlive your desperation". "In the Wiles, I pass for someone who has known stability and money her whole life. In Ashtown, I pass for someone who remembers how to pray and scrape. I am always wearing costumes but never just clothes". A man walks out of a bar and his life becomes a kaleidoscope of altered states in this science-fiction thriller. a b drbialkowski (29 December 2020).

Power and Passage: New Science Fiction and Fantasy

Cara’s relationship with Dell is a fascinating one. Cara is seriously attracted to Dell, and believes that no romantic or sexual relationship between them is possible due to the gulf of class and status between them. At the same time, Dell covers for Cara, shows up for her, and tries in her own way to support her – and the Dells of other worlds have gone to bed with Cara. What lies between them is complicated – even more complicated than Cara’s feelings about Nik-Nik, emperor of Ashtown, whom she remembers as a man who both cared for and hurt her.

To start with, this story is extremely hard to follow. I'm honestly baffled because the concept of a parallel universe isn't that difficult to grasp; it's just like our universe but with a few minor changes. And yet, the worldbuilding here is maximumly awkward and lumbering, turning small differences into obscure and confusing concepts that were never fully explained. that’s what a sister is: a piece of yourself you can finally love, because it’s in someone else. (c) As a result, the Loth-wolves within the painting shifted away from the gods and moved in a circle together, which formed the portal to the realm. However, the portal to the World Between Worlds was closed if a Force-wielder placed their hand on the Son's encircled fist, which prompted the painting of the Father to conceal the entryway and the temple itself. [1] History [ ] Ezra Bridger’s visit [ ] If I have a new world, it means that particular Earth’s me isn’t using it anymore. I’m dead again, somewhere else, and I didn’t feel a thing. The narrator’s voice also sounded very young when she was actually an adult. It did feel a bit immature.

She needs my absence more than anything. A witness to the shame makes it worse, even if it’s a friend. (c) I want to tell her it can’t be true. I want to tell her I would have known. Instead, I tell her I need an hour and cut the link. I felt like her romantic feelings were really ungrounded, and there was no chemistry between her and Dell, which led me to not loving the romance at all. Cara, who grew up in the dangerous conditions of Ashtown, a desert empire/suburban slum which Johnson describes as “not so loosely based on California’s Mojave Desert where [she] was raised,” can travel almost all of the 382 discovered universes. This skill makes her valuable and allows her a level of wealth and comfort in the walled city that abuts her home, but cannot fundamentally change her place within society. Despite a certain level of access and fame, she remains a tool of larger corporate interests and inescapably of her childhood home, Ash.

Specifically, I loved how the plot moved at a reasonable pace and allowed us time to gather the right information and letting it steep in our minds before delivering us to the next major plot point and it was GREAT! Plus, I got to theorizing and some of my theories actually turned out to be correct so, I was quite proud of myself! So, the bottomline is that reading about this MC is very much likely to give me a very intense eyeballs workout. I totally should just DNF this right away. After the 1st very shallow chapter. But… as a glutton for punishment, I'll press on. Yay to me. Cara has a secret. She’s not this world’s Cara at all, with a stepbrother and a stepsister in Ashtown’s religious community: she’s another world’s Cara, escaping an abusive relationship with the ruler of Ashtown and the wasteland, determined to thrive – taking the place of a Cara who died traversing to her world. Cara’s existence, and her identity, is precarious in every sense of the word.Overall, a very interesting fantasy book by Micaiah Johnson. The Space Between Worlds is her debut novel so this is one author that I am putting on my “to read again” list.
