A World Between Two
"...even if extraterrestrials do exist, what would they want with us?" This question posed by Maribelle Selters, Phoenix's dearest sister, is a terrifying and wondrous one.
During a routine night on her job as a war decimation prevention specialist, Phoenix Selters receives an alarming ultimatum from an extraterrestrial--leave Earth or face the destruction of the entire solar system. Volkriin, a member of an alien race, sends the transmission to her during Earth's third World War in 2114. To make matters worse, another alien race also contacts her. The difficult choice she faces could change the fate of the entire universe. "A World Between Two" chronicles her last days on Earth before her extrasolar voyage as she wrestles with her options. At the same time, she must keep her encounters hidden from those closest to her. She leaves Earth with her chosen alien ally, journeying into another continuum, all the while hoping to return home safely. What she ultimately discovers beyond all she has ever known holds true for the rest of us as well.

Wow!!!
Incredible story and imagery! It's very unique and out of this world! I love sci-fi and this satisfied my appetite. I can't wait to see what's next. It's witty, ingenious and captivating. I love the inventions, too!

I like that the author used second person. I think this is the first time I've ever read anything with that point of view. Now to be honest, I'm not really into sic-fi. I've read Dune and it was okay and I enjoy the Lunar Chronicles because of the fairy tale elements, so my opinion might be a little biased. However, I found this book incredibly hard to read. The author would take a whole paragraph to explain the character doing something as simple as drinking water. I would often have to re-read some parts to understand what was going on. The side characters didn't seem to play any vital role to the story, the main character was bland, and the dialogue wasn't interesting. Even if a book is bad, I can usually find something to keep me reading to the end, but I stopped halfway through this book. There was absolutely nothing that I could say "I want to see more of this character" or "I want to see how this ends". I gave it two stars for taking the rare approach of the second person POV and creating the different inventions for the novel because writing sci-fi takes a lot of creativity and research.
