Assessment:
Plot: This is a well plotted novel. Shannon’s forced marriage and escape from her kidnappers was an attention grabber. Diego encountering and reacting to alternate versions of his wife and daughter was also compelling. However, the story felt rushed near the end when, as if the author was trying to wrap everything up.
Prose: The writing flowed very well and the movement between the characters’ POVs from chapter to chapter was smooth.
Originality: A virus that wipes out most of humankind, a time traveler whose blood may contain a vaccine, and the threat of the biodome malfunctioning provide for a unique story.
Character Development: Shannon’s and Diego’s situations and their desires reflect how their characters can change and adapt to events, giving them a realistic feel. Unfortunately, Lani’s main focus for the majority of the novel is wishing for Shannon’s return, giving her character little depth.
