This book was wonderful, I found it incredibly engaging and my only disappointment was that I hadn't actually read it as soon as I bought it. 
 There are two protagonists in this book, Nolan and amara. Nolan is from this world, though every time he closes his eyes he sees through Amara's. She has no idea that he is inhabiting her body, or that their connection stretches across two entirely different worlds. Firstly, I love the idea behind this story. I am a huge fan of multi world and universe fiction and I found this to be a unique and refreshing spin on the idea. 
 Secondly, the characters felt like real people. I don't just mean their voices, but actually who they were. Nolan wears a prosthetic foot because of an accident he was in when he was a child due to blacking out and seeing into Amara's world. His family, and doctors also suspect that he has epilepsy because he cannot explain his connection with Amara. He also comes from a family that speaks both Spanish and English at home. 
 Amara is unable to speak due to her tongue being mutilated as a child, she communicates using sign language. She is also dark skinned. I want to emphasise here that this was not an issue book, it dealt very little with the characters disabilities at all, besides Nolan's suspected epilepsy. Instead, these were characters who happened to have disabilities. 
 For me, this is an extremely important distinction. I personally feel that we need more books with characters who have disabilities, but whose disabilities do not take over the whole plot. This was very successfully achieved in otherbound. 
 This book made me cry, it made me angry when characters died and I feared for both Nolan and Amara. I wanted them to be safe and I cared about what happened to them. Ultimately, the conclusion of this book was satisfying. I would recommend Otherbound to lovers of fantasy, particularly travel between worlds and anyone looking for a well written book with diverse characters.
