The Museum of Second Chances by AE Warren - Book Tour & Review
The Museum of
Second Chances
What happens when the
future recaptures the past?
In a post-apocalyptic world
the human race has evolved beyond us through genetic engineering – and we’ve
been left behind to make amends for the damage inflicted on the earth.
The reversal of the
extinction of long lost animals is key to our reparations and all of these are
housed in the Museum of Evolution – along with another species of human that
hasn’t existed for 30,000 years.
Elise belongs to the lowest
order of humans, the Sapiens. She lives in an ostracised community of
ecological houses, built to blend with an idyllic landscape. Deciding to widen
her stagnating life in the manufacturing base, she takes a chance opportunity
to become a Companion to a previously extinct species of human.
But Elise has secrets of
her own that threaten to be exposed now that she is away from the safety of her
home. And while living in the museum, Elise realises that little separates her
from the other exhibits…

My Review
Oh, gosh. This book was fantastic. I enjoyed every second of it.
The story follows Elise, a Sapien, who lands a job working at the Museum of Second Chances. There, she plays the role of Companion to a Neanderthal known as Twenty-One. At first, Elise is hesitant and nervous, but soon finds herself easing into the job, as well as starting a tentative friendship with another Companion. But all of that just might come crumbling down if Elise isn't careful.
I have to say, this was a really strong debut novel. It has a unique premise that immediately drew me in, and both the character development and world building kept me captivated. I couldn't wait to see how things played out.
I think my favorite character in the story is probably Samuel. He's an interesting guy, and I'm curious to know more about him. I also really liked Elise and Georgina too.
The plot is nicely paced and keeps readers interested. It's definitely a fascinating concept, and I thought it was written quite well and was fleshed out properly.
Overall, not a bad start to a fun, new series. Looking forward to book two.
4.5 stars from me!
