G. Deyke reviewed On the edge of gone by Corinne Duyvis
[Adapted from initial review on Goodreads.]
5.0 stars
Reading this book is like being dragged through shards of broken glass into warmth and safety. This book is hopeful. It is inspiring. It is important, and it is very much worth reading.
What it is not, however, is an easy read.
Selling points: #OwnVoices autistic narration; a diverse cast, extending to background characters; strong immersion; apocalypse; spaceships.
Warnings: extreme emotional intensity; harm comes to cats (non-graphically).
