Twice Lived by Joma West

4.0

I will freely admit that I'm amused by the people saying that the world building here sucks, because West has always been more of a vibes over lore writer. Would I have liked some more information about the different worlds, and how they figured out more about shifters? Absolutely. However, I feel like that wasn't the main focus of the story. I'm also a huge sucker for font differences being how the different aspects of the story were told. This leans heavy into craft to tell the story of two girls who share a body that shifts across different universes, and what happens as they come to the time where the oldest known shifters start to settle, and the people around them. I also liked the inherent challenge of the ending, because you don't always get to know why it happened, just that it happened this way and you have to live with it now. Pick this up from your library!
