Between Worlds

So there is this quote in the book that I really liked. It's when Shaheen Badoor Khan observes Parvati at a dinner party and thinks "Between worlds. Neither one nor the other. That is the worst place to be."

It wasn't until I finished reading the book that I realized how this quote could also be applied to other characters in this book. Especially Aj. Except that I didn't think she had a problem being between the two worlds. I wonder if it's significant that when she is killed, she is actually fully human. Fully part of one world.

Or maybe the fact that she was killed by humans for being different is what makes it "the worst place to be".
