Description
The laws of physics acting on the planet of Jai have been forever upended; its surface completely altered, and its inhabitants permanently changed, causing chaos. Fearing heresy, the artificially intelligent Gods that once ruled the galaxy became the planet's jailers.
Tiv Hunt, who once trusted these Gods completely, spends her days helping the last remaining survivors of Jai. Everyone is fighting for their freedom and they call out for drastic action from their saviour, Tiv's girlfriend Yasira. But Yasira has become deeply ill, debilitated by her Outside exposure, and is barely able to breathe, let alone lead a revolution.
Hunted by the Gods and Akavi, the disgraced angel, Yasira and Tiv must delve further than ever before into the maddening mysteries of their fractured planet in order to save - or perhaps even destroy - their fading world.

Reviews / Votes
"The Outside is a gripping examination of the battle between good and evil on a grand scale." "Hoffmann confidently layers morality and disability rights into a breezily told adventure that bursts with sheer fun." "Deeply embedded in sci-fi history, The Outside reimagines old stories in new, exciting, #ownvoices ways." "Hoffmann's debut is starkly original, and tinged with hints of horror fantasy - truly operatic stuff." "Stunning, strange and unsettling." "Ada Hoffmann's second novel brings action, excitement, and kindness surfacing in the strangest places. It warmed my tentacular heart!" "A sweeping sequel that builds on the first book and leaves me hungry for more!" "The Fallen is a complex, nuanced book which engages thoughtfully with the costs, consequences, and decisions around resistance and rebuilding." "a unique, nuanced must-read." "Roll on the next sequel!"More details
