Otherbound by Corinne Duyvis is a compelling, mind-bending story with a fresh fantasy twist. It follows Nolan, who, every time he blinks, is pulled into the world of Amara, a girl bound to serve a princess in a magic-filled realm. The dual perspectives give a unique depth to both characters, and the plot dives into themes of identity, disability, and loyalty. With high-stakes action and emotional intensity, it’s a page-turner that challenges the boundaries between worlds. Perfect for fans of complex, diverse fantasy that tackles big questions.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this book. I am sorry I did not get to read it before the archive date.
This is a review I should have written right after reading this book. I really enjoyed it and can't remember all the details, but the emotions are coming back to me. This book has a lot of wonderful representation. The relationships are complex. This book deals with the idea of reliance on someone else to live. The idea of only being kept alive because you are helping someone "better" than you live.
Sign language is featured in this book. It was very interesting to read about. Sexuality is also shown in a different way. Nolan is a virgin, but has experienced/seen Amara having sex.
I liked how the concept of different worlds and travelers between those worlds was seen as spirits.
Families are portrayed well in this book. Handicaps effect the whole family. Sibling bonds are shown.
The ending is also great!
I give this book a 5/5! It's a fantasy book with representation. There need to be more books like this in the world!
