“The Space Between Worlds” is described by Micaiah Johnson as “Girl dies tons, has adventure.”  Cara is dead in 372 worlds, meaning she can travel the multiverse.  She is plucked out of poverty by a corporation, which sends her between worlds to gather information.  When she discovers the details of the death of one of her doppelgängers, she realizes that there is conspiracy afoot.  It delves deep into privilege and class and is full of clever characters and plot twists. It has deserts and Wild West sex workers and travel bans and queerness.  The main character is very wry and iconoclastic.  It’s a fun and layered read.
