The Never-Ending End of the World by Ann Christy
4.0
The world stops, or rather repeats it self in small loops over and over again. Each person with their personal loop. The concept is amazing, the execution striking! The first half of this book was truly a 10/10 imo, and I'm a picky reader!
The main characters are fleshed out and were both young when the apocalypse happened. Following them growing up and evolving is a nice ride.
Sadly I'm not a fan of the way this story went after a while. I also find it a bit funny how these characters are on such high horses of morality. They truly read as Americans. Not only in the way they are convinced the looped humans are alive but also the family situation that happens in the story.
Up until the next to last chapter I would probably still have given the story a 5/5 but the ending really hit all the wring spots for me. It was super touching in parts, but the way it concluded and resolved was such a disappointment for me.
This has still been one of my most enjoyable reads of 2023 so far and I dont regret reading it.
The language is easy, effective and expressive. It might have help the visualisation if I would know what an American city looks like.
