"Fellows's obvious talents are his world-building and his prose." - Shai Palmer, Reedsy Discovery

A wayward city, untethered by time or place. If you find yourself caught within its strange magic, you are already lost.

All Stina wants is to escape a terrible date and get her VW out of the mud. João just wants to return to his regiment fighting for the King of Portugal. Croydon wants to find his way back to his bicycle and his parents.

But everyone caught in the unbound city must decide to either stay or leave for an ever-changing often dangerous world outside the city.

Many arrivals accept the city's power, others desire it for their own gain. One seeks to destroy it. But disrupting the city may trigger its destruction and the unmaking of the world.

When you fall hopelessly lost among the missing, you can only find yourself again through the kindness of strangers. Would you stay among the strange or leave for the unknown?

"The interconnection between the world building and the characters is beautifully crafted." - Lorraine Bondie, the Book & Nature Professor Review

"At the End of the World promises magic on every page." - Shai Palmer, Reedsy Discovery

At the End of the World is the first book in the Unbound Worlds duology.

Editorial Reviews

Review

At the End of the World promises magic on every page, but the humanity of its characters inspires far more wonder. . . Fellows gives readers an opportunity to examine human connection and kindness. Fellows' obvious talents are his world-building and his prose. In fact, a few moments even made me pause to appreciate them fully. This is a great read for any fantasy lover, and I would dare say even some readers that normally steer clear. - Shai Palmer, Reedsy.

Kevin J. Fellows is the author of the novel, At the End of the World. His fiction straddles the real and the not quite real. Fabulist stories of people coming through uncanny and fantastical situations; finding their path in all the ways people do. Fiction with heart and subtle magic. His novels feature ensemble casts full of diverse characters finding friends and family. Exploring the constant connection and disconnection in human relationships, even if those characters aren’t always human.

His poetry is concerned with memory, nature, and our connectedness to each other and all living things.

His books include At the End of the World, the first book in my Disconnected Worlds duology; The Enduring Mage and Other Tales, a collection of short stories; and An Important Sky, a collection of poetry.

He lives near the desert where he runs, plays guitar, and bikes far less often than he should.

Very different from my normal reading (don’t normally read fantasy) but very interesting and enjoyable. Every time I put it down, I wanted to get right back to it. Looking forward to his next book.

Sadness, love, loss, happiness… they were all found within this book.
I cannot find a book to compare to this book. Four stars for its “wokeness.”
I would read another book in this universe.

Great story, well developed characters, pulled me right in. I was so sad when it was over. I am keeping my eye out for the sign pointing to the End of the World !
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2021
Kevin J. Fellows debut novel At the End of the World is highly unique, thought provoking fantasy. The interconnection between the world building and the characters is beautifully crafted. The End of the World is a city that travels each day through space and time, never in the same place. As the characters come to the city, not knowing how they arrived there, some begin to manifest magic. The magic system is fascinating because it’s not overt. One citizen can hear the heartbeats of everyone, another person can infuse objects with memories, and another can tell if anyone is coming to the city. Those who do not accept that they have come to the city, however they arrived, and actively move against the system, will not manifest any magic. It’s certainly more subtle than other fantasy books I have read. The mayor controls the underlying magic of the city. If it is destroyed or tampered with, it would mean the End of the World.
I finished this book and I still think about it. Why were those people chosen? I thought perhaps it was a redemption arc. They needed closure for something they had done and once they did the good deeds, they could go home. It was clearly not that because Nico, Stina, João and Croyden are all good people who do stay an begin building a life. Perhaps it’s more about what you would do when faced with the unknown. What would you do? Would you stay in this strange town in which you manifest magical ability? Would you take a chance and leave, starting a new life in another place and time? After reading it, I’m not sure what I would do, and maybe that’s what we are supposed be left with.
I highly recommend At the End of the World. It’s a unique fantasy and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

An interesting story concept and collection of characters that come together in a unique way, yet find connections with each other. It was an enjoyable novel to read.
