She’s the kind of person who will always be there for the people she loves, regardless of how hard it is. Esther is one of the best secondary characters I’ve ever read as she is strong in her quiet way, polite and kind, but also brilliant and ruthless when the need arises. My favourite part about the book were all the different relationships and the sisterhood between Cara and Esther was a delight to read about. The characters were all incredibly diverse with the main character being Black and bisexual, plus there are multiple PoC characters, an f/f romance, and non binary secondary characters. Hundreds of variations of the same person, but having a slightly different life because of the choices they made. The fact that there are many parallel universes makes it all the more interesting. Some would call it lucky but that’s such an irony considering a traverser can only go to a world where their parallel self is dead and Cara is dead in more than 350 worlds.Īll of the characters were incredibly three dimensional, even Dell who seems so aloof and stony most of the time. Cara is a traverser, one of those few who get to travel parallel worlds and collect. She is also a dreamer and as her mother puts it, “she was born reaching”. She is a multilayered character with so much depth that it’s so easy to forget she’s a fictional character in a book.
Complex Characters One Can’t Help But Root ForĬara is a force to be reckoned with. It gripped me from page one and I couldn’t stop reading until I reached the final page. Have you ever read a book and been unable to form any thoughts whatsoever for the next couple of hours because it was absolutely brilliant? This was that book for me.
