Este libro es una cosa que solo es este libro y es ser un libro que al mismo tiempo es un juego en la vida real. El autor planteo la historia como una "caza del tesoro" de familias legendarias unido con alienigenas y muchos muertos pero, al mismo tiempo, es caza del tesoro se podía realizar en la vida real si seguías las pistas que traía el libro. Una movida que María y yo intentamos realizar y no pasamos ni de la primera semana con las pistas.
El libro está muy bien en realidad. Tiene el punto de los Juegos del Hambre de mandar a jóvenes a luchar por el honor de lo que necesite el libro (en este es ser el salvador de la tierra), añadiéndole que hay aliens que organizan todo el juego y los jóvenes tienen que resolver acertijos de vida o muerte. Sensillito.
Eso sí, no soporto las decisiones que tomo el autor en la historia, sus personajes más irritantes deben de ser sus favoritos porque les da todo lo que quieren mientras que a lo que son de verdad los mejores personajes del libro los machaca. No estoy de acuerdo con muchas direcciones que toma la historia por lo que nunca me leí la segunda parte y, ahora que lo pienso, ni me genera interés saberlo.

I’ve reread Hunger Games recently so I wanted something similar without being the same book and this was…. It? I fully expected it to be the same but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was different enough to be fresh and exciting but the stakes are similar… only on a global scale rather that just within Panam. And instead of Snow, it was/is Aliens that put the games in place and is forcing the world to play. It’s a fun read that has some surprising depth to it. Would def recommend.
Rating: 3.5 stars
I know that this book is a bit similar to The Hunger Games trilogy, but so what?! This book does not deserve ANY hate, and neither does the author!
I really enjoyed this book, and don't kill me, but I enjoyed reading this more than I did with THG.
Besides the fact that I needed quite long to finish this book..
First of all:
Every time I picked this book up, I had needed time to get into it. That's the main reason to why I took so long to finish. But also, when I did get into the book, I loved it!
And furthermore:
I feel really stupid to admit this but all the names quite confused me from the beginning to, I don't know, the half of it maybe?
But I quite enjoyed this book and I'm looking forward to the sequel!

I went into Endgame: The Calling excited about the general concept of the book. However, that excitement didn’t last long, only about fifty pages or so. Going into it from the start, I quickly realized that the writing style felt very passive and not personable in the slightest. It almost felt robotic. To me, this took away from the experience of the book, which was a main point of why (to me) the book fell short. Due to this writing, I felt like I never got to know the characters very well, even though it was a longer book.
