5.0 out of 5 stars
At last!, Dec 12 2009
By Kathleen Cobcroft - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Between (Hardcover)
Fans of Bertie MacAvoy have been waiting a long time for a new novel, especially those of us outside the US who couldn't purchase 'The Go-Between.'
In Between tells a story about Ewen Young, a young artist (both visual and martial). At only 104 pages it's a quick read, but a good one - managing to cover life and death, Buddhism, and lots of character. She has stated in the past that "Language and character interest me. Plot does not, but I understand I'd better have one if anyone's to read my book." In this book she's certainly leaned away from a traditional plotline which takes us from here to here with a big and sudden climax at the end, but I certainly felt emotionally satisfied at the end. It should particularly interest fans of her Lens of the World series.

Beautiful, short, not exactly what I expected, Jun 27 2010
By S. Marsh - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Between (Hardcover)
This is more of a novella than a novel, and it is MacAvoy, not someone else. It reads like a MacAvoy, not what you might expect from the teaser, and was just beautiful, ending when the story ended, not before and not after.
The other reviews will tell you more about details, I just wanted to remark on the style and execution.

Story now expanded in Death and Resurrection, Dec 22 2011
By Virginia E. Demarce "veasleyd" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Between (Hardcover)
This isn't available on Kindle, but the expanded version in Death and Resurrection is. It's an extraordinary book, far from a standard urvan fantasy.
