An incredible collection of stories full of variety in both character and setting. The creativity in each of the apocalypse scenarios was outstanding, and I can't think of a story where the worldbuilding was not done well. 

The characters are all very well fleshed out. None of them felt flat, no matter the setting they were in. They all had different motivations and wants that created interesting stories within their universe. 

I think my favourite story in the anthology was 'Did We Break the End of the World?' by Tansy Rayner Roberts Ditmar. I enjoyed the characters and the setting they were in. It felt incredibly alive and well thought out. The story throughout also felt very complete, with lots of exciting twists throughout.
