Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld
5.0
This book was a beast. I started it this morning and I literally spent all day today reading it. I was just to invested both stories. I really enjoyed the secrets of the life of a writer. I also enjoyed Darcy's growth throughout the whole novel. It was really interesting to see her grow and change in such a free environment.
My favorite part of the book had to be when Imogen asked Darcy and her protagonist's name. Lizzie and Darcy for the two protagonists had been on my mind since I picked up the book in the store and saw the catch-phrase thingy on the front of the book, "Darcy writes the words. Lizzie lives them." I was just waiting for someone to point in out as soon as I started the novel. This just made me love the scene where Imogen did even more.
As my first Scott Westerfeld book (gasp, I know its crazy), I really enjoyed Afterworlds. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in writing or even the behind the scenes lives of authors. I really enjoyed this aspect of the book.
