HOLY ShIT!! this was exceptional!! 🤩
plot, characters, world building, the writing, the pace 5/5
the space between worlds is a delicious exploration of power and desire, to exist and to fight for you believe is right. it feels like one of those books that smacks you in the head with the harshness of reality despite it being a scifi book, with characters for whom i truly cared, and a story i kept thinking about, days after i finished reading the book!!
i'd be doing an injustice to this review (idk if you’d call it that bc this is just me shouting at you to go read this book) i did not mention the writing bc it was Beautiful and left me open like a raw wound!! 🤌
also the romance is top tier!! it doesnt take up a major portion of the book and is just the right amount of perfect, bittersweet and hopeful!!
YALL NEED TO GO READ THIS BOOK RN!!!
