Thank you to Penguin for this book in exchange for an honest review

Synopsis:

‘Forget everything you think you know . . .’

Ana Moon’s best friend Bea has vanished. Her house has changed. Her parents have become strangers. She has fallen into a world that is not her own.

Guided by the mysterious Malik and his Pathfinders, Ana must travel across seven versions of Earth to get Bea back.

Lying in wait are the sinister Order, monstrous Reapers and a rogue Pathfinder bent on finding the elusive seventh world, and who will destroy anyone who stands against them.

To save Bea, Ana must master her own Pathfinder powers, or it won’t only be her friend who is lost forever – it will be Ana herself . . .

Review:

The Between is one of the best YA Sci-fi books that I have read in a long time! You get to join Ana Moon, a 17 year old girl who lives a relatively normal life until she is attacked and catapulted into another world! Ana has to come to terms with what it is to be a pathfinder and acquire the skills that comes with that responsibility, otherwise she won’t be able to save her kidnapped friend.

Hofmeyr has created an engaging, fast paced, extraordinary adventure that plunges you through the parallel universes as you join Ana in finding her friend. I’m not lying when this book will have you on the edge of your seat mouthing, ‘what the fu*k.’ This book in incredible, well written with intriguing details and one of the best books that I have read and will be putting it back on the tbr shelf to reread again!!!

Can we chat about the world building in this book??!! I mean, it was fricken insane!

I love complex stories that have multiple worlds, realms or realities but I generally find that most authors can write this complexity convincingly but Hofmeyr pulled it off with a bang. There was enough information that you could follow the story with ease, the detail supplied wasn’t overbearing at all but was enough that this sci-fi was easy to grasp and yet still highly entertaining.

Over all the twists and the turns that is The Between was brilliant. I loved all the characters, the plot and the fricken world building was epic! This is one of those sci-fi’s that should be compared to Illuminae. I adored this book, and not to mention the cover is very easy on the eyes and adorable.
