The Space Between Worlds is a beautiful and clever sci/fi story with a fierce protagonist and a thrilling storyline. Johnson has created a story full of humanity set amidst worlds that are unfamiliar and yet not so hard to imagine. Cara's kaleidoscope of selves and of identities is brilliant to follow, and her character development through the story is a shining piece of this novel. This was a book I found hard to put down, drawn into the story immediately. I found its entire arc to be a great read, and it's a book I not only plan on recommending to others, but one I also anticipate I will pick up again for a re-read.
