not as strong as the other books in the series, a little slow-paced and it took me a lot longer to get invested in the characters, however I’m still excited for the next book

I love Adam Silvera's writing so much. The storytelling structure scratches my brain in the best way and keeps me devouring and eagerly waiting for more stories. I loved how this book stood out from the other Death-Cast books yet found ways to bring all of them together as well. Paz and Alano's history connects back to the beginning of this series in a tragic yet beautiful way. A journey that led them to each other. This way of storytelling makes the story jump off the page and helps me connect with the characters. Whether I'm in Paz's mind or Alano's or hearing from one of the parents or Death-Cast employees, this book was amazing in all the best ways. I've loved reading this series so much!! I hope there are many to come.
Order I read the series:
• They Both Die at the End (#1): "Mateo and Rufus warmed by heart from beginning to end. I rode this journey with them - this beautiful 24-hour experience of living life to the fullest. Every piece was beautiful and enriched the story. Every moment intertwined and showed how Mateo and Rufus made contact with so many people without knowing it." - 5/30/23
• The First To Die at the End (#0): "Orion and Valentino's story was heartbreakingly beautiful in all the right ways. Each moment made me realize how precious life is and how good people make it ten times better.I loved how all the characters tied together throughout the book and introduced readers to characters that are to come (I read They Both Die at the End and loved it as well. Seeing that those two made an appearance in this book was super sweet)." - 12/23/24
• The Survivor Wants To Die At The End (#2) - 8/17/25
