WHAT EVEN I DONT

best end of the world book best anything best everything.

crake who is irredeemable, who is unapologetic and cold and so smart that he built himself up into an unmerciful cruel god and succeeded but in so many ways failed, too, who brought on the flood and crafted perfection but forgot that as long as there are humans, whether from a lab or from a womb, there is humanity. 

and jimmy-as-snowman, snowman-as-jimmy, with crake’s mission on his shoulders, trapped in the aftermath of a nightmare he couldn’t have stopped, living with the ghosts of a life he never liked to begin with in a world he never really understood. jimmy who is simultaneously a shepherd and a saint. jimmy who loved crake like a brother and then couldn’t escape him, who loved oryx until she wasn’t a woman to him anymore at all so much as she was a dream. 

and beautiful, smart, ineffable oryx, who is a daughter of the fucked up world as it really is if there ever was. who pulled and clawed her way through the system from the very bottom and was more real than either jimmy or crake ever realized.

9. --and what sort of shenanigans do you get up to?

10. Turns out the events surrounding the previous questions were more nefarious than anyone could have guessed, and now you've been transported into the world from which the character you chose earlier hails. With only them and their allies for support, what sort of trouble are you in?
