The story goes through many twists and turns but also remains clever and surprising despite the title of the book stating what is going to happen. There are many things I really enjoyed in this book like getting more information about Death Cast and how the company launched, the multiple character perspectives which give us a more in depth story, the easter eggs linking both books together and the friendships and relationship that grew throughout. I loved spending time with ValentinOrion, watching their friendship and relationship grow, their happiness and confidence shine through, it was beautiful.
I do think there were too perspectives at times that didn't always contribute to the story which made it a little confusing but it didn't impact my overall enjoyment of the story. I also wish we got more background knowledge on Death Cast, how it was created, why it was created and the mechanics of it. Even though the book was long, I felt the ending was rushed and could have been paced a bit better.
Because this book was longer and more detailed, I found myself thinking about how I would feel in Valentino or Orion's situation. What if Death Cast existed in my world? Would I sign up? Could I cope with that knowledge? It is definitely a book that gets you thinking but with the main message of live your life to the fullest, do everything you want to do and to love whole heartedly, even when people around us are dying or have died, even when we might die ourselves.
