a b drbialkowski (29 December 2020). "The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson: A Review". The Roar . Retrieved 5 October 2023. Cara's parallel selves are exceptionally good at dying - from disease, turf wars, or vendettas they couldn't outrun - which makes Cara wary, and valuable. Because while multiverse travel is possible, no one can visit a world in which their counterpart is still alive. And no one has fewer counterparts than Cara. star: Caramenta, Caralee, Nelline… all of these are the parallels of our MC. Well, the one we're looking at is Caralee but hush, that's a secret. Love this twist. Early on, the professionals on the upper stories, scientists like Bosch and watchers like Dell, told me the bruising was from the resistance of an object from one world being forced into another, like the violence of north and south magnets being shoved together. Other traversers, and they are a superstitious lot, told me the pressure we felt had a name, and it was “Nyame.” They said her kiss was the price of the journey. Dell doesn’t quite meet my eyes as she readies me, just like everyone looked away from me in the hall. I’m Eldridge’s dead girl walking. (c) Huh.

The universe erases me, but it also remakes me again and again, so there must be something worthwhile in this image."The Space Between Worlds opens on Cara, who is “traversing” into another dimension to collect information for her employer, the Eldridge Corporation. This extraordinary task is routine for Cara, who is at the top of her field due to her—or more precisely her multidimensional selves’—aptitude towards dying. This skill is important because, by some anomaly of physics or the mysterious god Nyame depending on who you ask, the only way to travel to another universe and survive is if your other self in that universe is already dead. When I was young and multiverse was just a theory, I was worthless: the brown girl-child of an addict in one of those wards outside the walls of Wiley City that people don’t get out of or go to. But then Adam Bosch, our new Einstein and the founder of the institute that pays me, discovered a way to see into other universes. Of course, humanity couldn’t just look. We had to enter. We had to touch and taste and take. There were so many interesting characters which deserved to have the highlight on them as well. Esther - could have had amazing character development because she was intriguing from the get go, Mr. Cheeks- played the part of the loyal soldier but with a twist, Nik Nik - a villain of circumstance?! Was he really a villain or a by product familial history and dynamics. They say hunting monsters will turn you into one. That isn’t what’s happening now. Sometimes to kill a dragon, you have to remember that you breathe fire too. This isn’t a becoming; it’s a revealing. I’ve been a monster all along.

Conceptually, The Space Between Worlds has a lot of potential. In this version of parallel universes, you can only travel to a different one if your counterpart is already dead. Enter Cara, who has died in most other worlds, so she's able to travel between them. Yep, I can totally get behind that. But that was pretty much it for things I enjoyed, and it was only a very small part of the story. The Space Between Worlds is a 2020 science fiction novel by Micaiah Johnson. It is Johnson's debut novel. The novel takes place in the near future, where travel between parallel universes is possible.
Success!
She was able to beautifully craft a world, characters, and a story that I truly cared for and left a lasting impression on me right after I finished it. Even worthless things can become valuable once they become rare. This is the grand lesson of my life. The Space Between Worlds is a concept album that follows the story of a huntress who travels the infinite metaphysical worlds brought into being by the dreams of humankind. In these realms, she encounters a dream eater which threatens to unravel the fabric of reality by devouring dreamers and destroying the dimensional gateways. Had there been no this twist, this would've been another dreary parallel-worlds-based read. But this! This twisty made it all so much more stand out! The Space Between Worlds is fascinating, complicated, compelling . . . a jewel of a novel.” — Locus
