On the Edge of Gone by Corinne Duyvis
4.0
I really enjoyed this overall. I loved the main character - FINALLY an autistic character who is actually *called* autistic. She was relatable to me and felt authentically written.
The book was a real page turner and the end of every chapter left me immediately wanting to start the next.
I will say though that the ending felt a little rushed especially in terms of the main characters reasoning. It felt like a jolt after the slow build up. I also think some messages (e.g. the classism/racism involved in ship Vs shelter) could have been elaborated on and also tied off better.
I LOVED that diversity was throughout the book even in characters you only meet once. There is a variety of gender ID, religion, ability and ethnicity in a way that doesn't feel forced.
I will certainly be reading more science fiction as well as more from this Corinne :)
