If you loved following Cara as she crossed between worlds in The Space Between Worlds, you'll be equally captivated by Patricia and Laurence in All the Birds in the Sky. Both books explore the tension of belonging and otherness, as the characters straddle different realities—whether magical, technological, or societal. Anders' novel weaves personal stakes with world-altering consequences, giving you that same sense of mission and discovery.
Much like Cara's evolution and self-discovery in The Space Between Worlds, Aster in An Unkindness of Ghosts undergoes significant growth as she navigates the rigid hierarchies of her generation ship. Both novels delve deep into how trauma, identity, and determination shape a person, and you'll find yourself rooting for Aster as she uncovers secrets and crafts her own path.
If you were fascinated by Cara's questionable choices and her struggle to survive in a system stacked against her, you'll be hooked by Kel Cheris and the enigmatic Shuos Jedao in Ninefox Gambit. The book is full of protagonists who must operate in morally gray areas, making difficult decisions for survival, loyalty, and revolution.
If you appreciated the wide-ranging backgrounds and marginalized identities represented in The Space Between Worlds, you'll delight in the multi-species crew of the Wayfarer. Chambers crafts a warm, inclusive space where every character—regardless of species, gender, or background—matters. Their journeys and struggles resonate with the same empathy and richness you enjoyed with Cara and her worlds.
Like the sharply realized, oppressive worlds in The Space Between Worlds, The Power explores what happens when traditional hierarchies are upended. With a speculative twist that changes the rules of society, Alderman challenges you to rethink privilege, violence, and survival—much as Johnson does through her multiverse and its social commentary.
