Mental Diplopia A Torcom Original eBook Julianna Baggott Reviews
Not every death is frightening.
I’ve never read a tale about a pandemic that involved characters feeling happy and peaceful while they were dying from an incurable disease, so I was quite curious to see how that would change the typical progression of this sort of science fiction. The descriptions of this ailment only made me more interested in finding out where it came from and why it had such a strange set of symptoms. While this worked perfectly well as a short story, I would love to read a sequel someday about what happened next.
It would have been helpful to know more about how the main character met Oliver, her love interest. They clearly had a lot of chemistry, and I started rooting for them to somehow have a happy ending as soon as he was introduced. The only thing missing in their relationship was an explanation of how and when it began. Had it been included, I would have been perfectly happy to give out a much higher rating.
The unnamed protagonist was an intelligent and sensible epidemiologist. I enjoyed reading her calm and often understated descriptions of how this disease progressed and what happened to humanity once the vast majority of people had died from it. There was something compelling about reading such a factual account of a worldwide tragedy. Seeing it from the perspective of someone in the medical field made me even more interested in finding out how it would end than I would have otherwise been because of this. Her slight detachment from the subject matter gave her the objective point of view that the plot needed in order to truly drive its message home.
Mental Diplopia is a great choice for anyone who would enjoy reading a somewhat romantic take on the end of the world as we know it.

Sounds formulaic, but this story is written so well that one is immersed in the MC's sense of her world and choices and problems. L
I really wish this was longer. If this turns into a novel or even a movie so much could be done with it and I want in. I really really need this to be expanded. I love this idea
