The Space Between Worlds

Do you ever procrastinate while reading a book because you know you'll be sad when it's over? That was this book for me. It had all of my favorite archetypes represented in the story. A strong but complex female lead, dystopian fantasy an sci-fi rolled into one, fighting, complicated romance, all of the characters served a purpose, and the setting was so unique and specific that I could see it in my mind as I read it. I hate when female characters are written to be naturally good and wholesome and perfect. Cara's character was far from all of these descriptions which made her great in all the ways that mattered. The author has a way of writing very complicated connections between her characters, but as a reader, I understood the relationships despite the varying rough history Cara had with each. I want an entire book series on the house and Exlee because that character was magic. If you love the fantasy genre and you've been looking to add some diversity to your bookshelves, this is the one.
