laurb0t 's review for:
The Never-Ending End of the World
by Ann Christy
4.5 stars
I was provided with an ARC from the author.
I love end-of-the-world scenarios and stories, but it can be hard to find something fresh. The NEEW is just that.
The different viewpoints offered by Coco and Forrest allowed me to imagine why people did what they did when the looping started.
The diary entries are a great way to provide exposition and background as well as a look into the character's minds without having to "expo-dump" on the reader. An example is Forrest: at first I didn't like him, but understanding him through his diary entries allowed me to empathize with who he was when the looping started and how he changed.
The concepts and cause of the looping were handled great; enough to get a sense of the scope of the cause and what might happen if they end vs. the deeper understanding that some characters have.
I'd love for more stories set during the looping. The author created a rich world I'd love to see through other characters' eyes, both before, during, and after.
