5.0

Loved this book, it feels nearly perfectly put together. It has interesting allegory and metaphors, lots of actual real world commentary, occasionally beautiful prose AND has compelling characters and an interesting plot. Lots of books only manage having one of those. Cara's journey, seeing different versions of herself and other people and how it changed her is so good. It is also a book that is comfortable with uncertainty, the mentions of pushes and pulls between science and religion or even if you can predict what will happen make it so good. It is so well crafted and nuanced both in thoughts and character creation. I do wish Dell could have contributed more to the plot, she seemed a bit stuck in her role of love interest in the story and I really liked her dynamic with Cara, I wish she could have done more (given she's on the cover also lol)

I'm conflicted about this book. Part one is so incredibly good, part two onward changes place to be political and familial intrigue. There's a lot of time spent humanizing versions of the MCs abusive ex. The plot is just different than I expected it wanted. There were threads that I LOVED but I wish more time was spent studying the main character than these evil powerful men I wasn't interested in. 

It also feels like just a bit of a queer bait. Just a smidge. Part one has bits and pieces about her attraction to the love interest and dalliances with her in other worlds. That's dropped until nearly the very end where they ride off into the sunset together. Give me some yearning, give me some bonding. You gave me pages and pages about her abusive ex but nothing sweet to grasp onto with the actual romance!
