I thought the start was interesting, but I wasn't into the trip through the Original. It was like an action scene and I'm not into those. And the ending was predictable.
Spoiler
Although since she's timed for a two-way trip and only goes one-way, I don't understand why she was cutting it so close. She takes a small break and even if blue and indigo slowed her down so much, she should have been at the end near the beginning of green.andika's review

This wasn't a normal high fantasy like a lot of Nix's more famous work but is fabulous sci-fi mystery set in Soviet prison camp. Perfect for sci-fi lovers or people new to reading the genre, this short story is another gem from Nix.

Writing felt a bit weird at times, but it was an engaging short story. The ending wasn't what I wanted, but it wasn't bad.

Dislocation Space had me hooked from the get go.
The Soviet setting was highly interesting as something I don't usually read much about and Aleksandra's character was written beautifully. I found myself constantly rooting for her and loved how mysterious she was.
The sci-fi aspect to Dislocation Space was also fantastic and for me very original!
I would love to read more about Aleksandra's past and am looking forward to reading more from Garth Nix.
5 stars.
