A review by offinherownmind
Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld
3.0
3.5*
Dual stories. One story tells of Darcy a new author who moved to New York trying to complete revisions and a sequel. The other telling the story of Darcy's book.
Likes
-female/female romance between Darcy
-all the talk of the publishing world, It's interesting to read
-indian/Hindu representation with Darcy and Yamaraj
-the concept of having two stories running next to one another
-the growth of Darcy
-Darcy's parents sing accepting/understanding of Darcy having a girlfriend
Dislikes
-Darcy's obsession with beer. I can't see how she would get away with drinking all the time.
Overall, I enjoyed this. It's not a favorite of mine. Im not sure who's story I enjoyed more, Darcy's or Lizzie's. I always would get so wrapped up in one that when it switched I'd contemplate skipping ahead, but then I'd become entrapped in the other story.
