Between burning worlds
Book • 2020
Between Burning Worlds is the second installment in Jessica Brody and Joanne Rendell’s System Divine trilogy.
The series reimagines the characters and conflicts of Les Misérables within a science-fiction setting shaped by political oppression and rebellion.
Brody explains that she and Rendell initially viewed the novel as another institutionalized story, focused on rising above or destroying an institution.
They became unstuck when they recognized its central quest for a weapon as the defining structure of a Golden Fleece story.
That shift clarified the novel’s goals and allowed the writing process to move forward.
