" --Amanda Deibert, author of Wonder Woman '77 and DC Super Hero Girls Praise for the novels of Mike Chen "While some readers might worry that picking up a book about a post-pandemic America in the midst of the current COVID-19 crises would feel too relatable, and perhaps even disturbing, the beauty of Chen's novel is that it doesn't dwell in the darkness. Though it's set in the wake of enormous tragedy, it's ultimately a story about hope, resilience and family--both the one you're born into and the one you choose for yourself. An exciting and dramatic tale.that shows the enduring power of hope and community amidst a crisis." --BookTrib on A Beginning at the End "This postapocalyptic slice-of-life novel.delivers big emotions by keeping the focus small. By foregrounding family, Chen manages to imbue his apocalypse with heart, hope, and humanity. Sci-fi fans will delight in this lovingly rendered tale.
" -Publisher's Weekly, starred review, on A Beginning at the End "A Beginning at the End is the best kind of dystopian novel: one rooted deeply in the hearts of his characters and emphasizing hope and connection over fear. Chen has a true gift for making the biggest of worlds center around the most complex workings of hearts, and his newest is compelling, realistic, and impossible to put down." --Booklist, starred review "Sometimes it is not the violent battles of post-apocalyptic stories that pull readers in; it is the emotional connection of humanity finding their way. Chen's prose lights a brilliant, fragile path through the darkness." --Library Journal, starred review, on A Beginning at the End.
