Synopsis

We think we understand the laws of physics.

We think a lot of things. It was perhaps inevitable that some of them would turn out to be wrong.

When the great incursion occurred, no one was prepared. Of all the things physicists had predicted, "the fabric of reality might rip open and giant monsters could come pouring through" had not made the list. But somehow, that was precisely what happened.

For sisters Susan and Katharine Black, the day of the incursion was the day they lost everything. Their home, their parents, their sense of normalcy . . . and each other, because when the rift opened, each sister was stranded in a separate form of reality. For Susan, it was science and study and the struggle to solve the mystery of the altered physics inside the zones transformed by the incursion. For Katharine, it was monsters and mayhem and the fight to stay alive in a world unlike the world of her birth.

The world has changed. The laws of physics have changed. The girls have changed. And the one universal truth of all states of changed matter is that nothing can be completely restored to what it was originally, no matter how much you might wish it could be.

Nothing goes back.

Goodreads review by destiny ♡ on August 08, 2022

One moment, everything was normal. The next, physics and mathematics were negotiable things, and the supposed laws that had always governed biology were shattered beyond all repair. This is a story about breaking rules, which is ironic, because it broke one of my rules as a reader. Generally spe......more

Goodreads review by Craig on February 16, 2022

This is a nice science fiction/horror story that begins in a post-pandemic 2022 that suffers a sudden breaching of dimensional barriers causing havoc and mayhem to be unleashed. It tells the story of two sisters who find themselves on opposite sides of the barrier and how they come together despite......more

Goodreads review by Trish on January 31, 2023

Mira Grant is the alter ego of Seanan McGuire. Apparently, she uses this pen name when she writes scifi/horror stuff. 17 years ago, there was an incursion where rifts opened and monsters came out. Weird optimal stuff happened, driving a lot of people to suicide. Sisters Susan and Katharine ended up o......more

Goodreads review by Bethany (Beautifully Bookish Bethany) on December 17, 2022

4.5 stars rounded up This is what I want from a sci-fi novella! It's fun, fast-paced, and intriguing with a sense of a larger world. I think it's gutsy to write a dystopian sci-fi with alternate dimensions set in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it also gives the novella a greater sense of real......more

Goodreads review by Julia on January 28, 2025

Square3 by Mira Grant is a very quick story I devoured in one afternoon. At the start I didn't really know where it was going, but was easily drawn by the narrative voice. The farther I got the less I knew what was actually going on, as everything I learned opened 5 new questions - but in the good way......more
