The story gets really picks up steam in the second half, but the first half feels more like it stumbles a bit through the plot points

Fast, fun read with time travel and love-lost and found family. I loved it! And also - too many declarative statements from the main character, not enough time travel, and the character felt younger than her age.

I did enjoy that the main character didn’t work it all out on her own; that other people figured out more than she did and that she needed others to create the change in the world.

i read this book for the first time back in 2020 and at the time i had a few critiques and gave it 4.5 stars. this is what i said back then: https://strangestoryteller.com/2020/10/03/book-review-the-space-between-worlds-by-micaiah-johnson/

idk what it was about rereading it, if it was because i knew what to expect, but i loved it even more the second time. and now on to the sequel!

I really enjoyed this book. Cara is a seriously flawed character, but she grows and matures. The idea of all the other worlds was really well done here, and I kind of would have liked to have seen more of what was happening on them. As it is, this story only really focuses on 4 of them.

I was a little disappointed with the ending. It seemed to be a big build-up to an epic show-down and well-deserved revenge but was instead kind of wishy-washy.

Overall though, I really did enjoy this and thought it was amazingly well done considering this is this author's first published novel. Oh, and many thanks to my friend Lindsay who recommend this to me. It was right up my alley but for some reason, I had never heard of it before. I'd definitely recommend this for sci-fi fans, or Mad-Max fans, as Ashtown was giving me some serious Mad-Max vibes.
