Sci-Fi / Fantasy Discussion Group

We’ll discuss the novel The Space Between Worlds (2020) by Micaiah Johnson [#1 of a duology] (352 pages, audio book 11 hrs, 46 mins)

From Goodreads:

*Multiverse travel is finally possible, but there’s just one catch: No one can visit a world where their counterpart is still alive. Enter Cara, whose parallel selves happen to be exceptionally good at dying—from disease, turf wars, or vendettas they couldn’t outrun. Cara’s life has been cut short on 372 worlds and counting. Trouble finds Cara when one of her eight remaining doppelgängers dies under mysterious circumstances, plunging her into a new world with an old secret. What she discovers will connect her past and her future in ways she could have never imagined—and reveal her own role in a plot that endangers not just her world, but the entire multiverse.
