This book was a horrible attempt to “humanize” Thanos. All it did was make him seem weak and undermined his super-villain status in the Avenger movies.

This book was entertaining, but not great. Ebony Maw and the rest of the Children of Thanos are mentioned on one page as joining Thanos, but their characters aren't developed at all and they are never mentioned again. I would have liked to know more about how they came to join him and learn more about them as individuals. There were ridiculous spans of time in the story. The worst was when Thanos spends a year eating and working out alone in a room on his spaceship because he's depressed.
I did enjoy the backstory to Thanos' relationship with the Chitauri and some insight into the Other.
Overall, I wasn't bored, but I wouldn't recommend it for MCU fans looking for more content.

”I blame myself for much. If I learn from it, it will not be so bad.”
If there is nothing I can do in my current predicament, then I will have to change the predicament. And this will call for drastic measures.
The sheer existence of me is at once a weighty and weightless thing.

I really enjoyed this book. It was fun learning about Thanos' past and history. There are some fun easter eggs for fans to catch, which I won't spoil. I always wondered where Thanos learned of the infinity stones and how he started to seek them out. This book does an excellent job making you sympathize with the Mad Titan.

I found this book very boring. It has large fonts and margins, not a lot of content, none of it very interesting. Didn't like Thanos as a character, didn't care about anything at all really while reading this. This had a few saving graces of a chapter here and there but for the most part I am very glad this was not a dense 400 page novel. I'm upset I paid full price for the hard back though. Very upset. I hope my library likes it once they start accepting donations.

This book was definitely worth the wait!
If you watched Infinity War and you're wanting Thanos' backstory/more depth to his character, I 100% recommend you pick this book up as it's also MCU canon. I loved it!
