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.

Grupa merysujek i garystujków musi się nawzajem pozabijać, bo tak. Bo Endgame. Jeżdżą i latają po całym świecie, łapią strzały w locie (Wiedźmin może tylko pozazdrościć), mają superbronie, są niesamowicie wyszkoleni. I są dzieciakami. Aha.
Oprócz tego książka napisana jest w bardzo irytujący sposób - Niepotrzebne Wielkie Litery, krótkie zdania.
Nowe linijki.
Co chwilę.
Liczby wstawiane od Czapy (serio, taka ważna informacja, że jakiś Chłopak ma 24 Żebra?), nachalnie wstawiane Zagadki (rzekomo można wygrać trzy miliony dolców za Odnalezienie Rozwiązania).
Jedyną zaletą jest to, że mimo wszystko książka wciąga. Na tej samej zasadzie, co wkurzające seriale, których jednak nie możesz zostawić nieobejrzanych, bo ciekawi cię, jakie bzdury będą dalej..

Fairly fast paced, super stereotypical dystopian. Really loved the diversity, hated the ending. Average at best.

Endgame: The Calling was an interesting read. However, there were a lot of characters to follow and a lot of information to process from the very beginning. The science fiction element of this "pit teens against each other in a game/competition/event for the fate of XXX" was a nice addition and was the real hook for me. If not for this, I would have put it down.
There was just enough action to keep me entertained, but I found the action too unreal, entire situations too strange for me to follow. Overall, a fun read that I finished quickly (I started it a few days ago). I don't have any real desire to continue the series, which is unfortunate, and picked this up based on the promotional material.

This book was intriguing, masterful, dark. It was woven together in such a way that it captivated and controlled. The Players are all so unique, and each POV leaves you rooting for someone else. There is no way to know the ending, and the story is very intricate. The only thing I didn’t like is that there is a good amount of language and sexual content, especially coming from the character of Christopher, who I did not like. Overall an excellent read.
