Where Futures End eBook Parker Peevyhouse

Where the Futures End is five interconnected stories with different characters that are bound by the same choices, though their worlds keep changing as each story moves bit by bit into future. A future where technology turns everyone’s life into a reality show.

First, the writing, oh the writing! The words on each page just carried me away. Now, the story. It’s like peaking behind a curtain as each scene moves into another and keeps the reader questioning, what next? Is what Dylan seeing real or imaginary? Is it the product of a troubled teen mind, or a crushing desire to go back to a place where he felt loved, normal and accepted that causes him to see the things he sees and feels.

Or Brixney, a young woman who is living under dire circumstances and under the deceptive view of cameras where everyone is part of a global feed and where many jostle for attention by providing the masses with exhilarating or shocking feed in order to gain lucrative advertising contracts. That’s when something incredible happens, something that changes everything and gives the reader a clue about the reality of Dylan’s fantasies and what it means for the future. (No Spoilers here, but it is jaw dropping)

But the best part for me was the writing. It is off the chart original, and the story is one to think about as you read and reread just to make sure you didn’t miss anything.

Where Futures End eBook Parker Peevyhouse Reviews

An interesting read. Definitely heralds back to classic science fiction of the past. Intriguing premise. Will certainly look for other works by this author in the future. Not typical YA fiction, though. And somewhat cautionary in tone regarding our dependence on "connectedness" and Internet voyeurism. A good book if you don't mind thinking.
Wanted to love it but struggles through. Has so much potential but didn't deliver. Some of the stories were great but some so bad this was worth one star to mW. Don't waste your time. There are much better YA out there.
Surprisingly engaging in spite of the dystopian future it portrays. Especially fantastic for a debut! Highly recommended!
This book is well written, intriguing and held my attention from beginning to end. It stands out in its professional goodness. Despite new characters for each change in time... I had no difficulty engaging or following the plot's trajectory. Clever and well executed.
What a ride! Unpredictable and unlike anything I've read before, this story is a game changer. Try fitting the puzzles of each chapter together, and you'll be amazed at this writer's creative ability to weave deep meaning into disparate lives from different times. A story with a message and seriously creative punch.
This is one of the most original works of YA speculative fiction I've read. A novel told through five long short stories, representing the points of view of five narrators disconnected in time but connected through their relationship to the Other Place, an alternate universe that mingles its destiny with Earth's, WHERE FUTURES END is challenging, sometimes a bit frustrating, but always refreshing. I particularly liked the second and third chapters, set ten and thirty years in the future respectively, where Peevyhouse did an excellent job of envisioning a future world that both extends and satirizes our own media-drenched culture. The fourth and longest chapter, set sixty years in the future, was fascinating but also a little maddening, as the main character fights his way through an endless virtual-reality game that he resorts to in order to escape his deteriorating society (and his own drug addiction). Maybe it's just because I'm not a gamer, but I found this chapter suggestive yet hard to enjoy. The final chapter, likewise, wasn't as strong as the first three; though I don't want to spoil the ending, suffice it to say that I felt the conclusion failed to maintain the delicate balance between science fiction and fantasy that the rest of the book achieved. Tipping too far toward pure fantasy, the conclusion disappointed.

So with all these reservations, why am I giving this book five stars? Two reasons. First, Peevyhouse is just plain a great writer at the sentence level; her words are a pleasure to read. Second, with so much YA being predictable, formulaic, and derivative, it's exciting to find a debut novelist who tries something so new. This book doesn't fit into any of the ready-made tropes that saturate YA speculative fiction--there are no kick-butt heroines, no vampire courtesans, no mismatched, squabbling enemies-turned-lovers, no tired reworkings of classic fairy tales. Nor is there the action-packed, cliffhanger-filled plotting that's so common in YA. Instead, there's a young writer experimenting with language and story and structure in ways that give me hope for the future of YA. The experiments don't always work--but then, most experiments don't. Yet in science fiction as in science, such experiments are the very life of the field.
You guys. I picked up this book at 10pm and read it straight through all night. WHERE FUTURES END is a novel made up of a series of interconnected novellas, all focused on a different teenage character. All of them yearning for something else, something better, more comforting, something stranger than the life that they have. I worried before I picked this up that the interconnected-novella form might kill some of the momentum, but it worked the opposite way -- this novel is so filled with tension and longing and secrets that each novella end only made me want to read more.

And the WRITING. On the sentence level, this is one of the best-written novels I've read in a long time. The sentences are gorgeous, but they don't call attention to themselves, and Peevyhouse is great at making each reality she explores so specific and strange and still so familiar.

Finally, as a major SF/F fan, I was so taken with how this novel managed to inhabit both genres. Science fiction AND fantasy, in a believable way? YA fiction for fans of adult-fic writers like David Mitchell, George Saunders, and Kelly Link? Don't walk, RUN to order this book. I know I did.
