![]() ![]() I long for the day when people will look back at reviews like this one and think how strange it is that I had to point out diversity, but it is sadly still uncommon. ![]() Set before, during and after the apocalypse (a comet colliding with Earth), the stakes are huge from the very beginning as Denise attempts to find a safe place for herself, her mother and sister on a generation ship, scheduled to leave Earth. Her narrator - an autistic, mixed race, Dutch girl - has an immediately sympathetic and likable narrative voice. Duyvis opens with a writing style that draws you in. Perhaps I expected all the wrong things from it, and maybe this review will prevent others from doing the same. ![]() On the Edge of Gone does a lot of really great things and, for the first 25%, I thought it was going to be a new favourite. “The first time my future vanished was July 19, 2034." ![]()
