Science Fiction
Do not read this book if you have not read the first four.
In Book One, The Clan Corporate, Miriam finds a necklace with a knot design in a box left by her Mother. Looking at the knot transports her to a parallel Earth and her adventures start. Miriam finds that she is a world walker, one of the few who can travel between the different worlds. With each book the world building becomes more complex. By The Revolution Business there are four parallel worlds populated by their own set of characters. The world walkers have used their ability unwisely and the consequences of that decision are coming home to roost in Book Five.
The characters in The Revolution Business move from world to world with actions that set the scene for the next book. I like the series and while I did find this book rather slow everything seems to be in place for The Trade of Queens, the final book in the series.
