3.75 stars. I wish there was less guns but I like it a lot but it fills me with dread but it is good
adam silvera, you’ve broken my heart yet again, you evil genius.
i went into the book not expecting much for many reasons: the first book (despite making me cry my eyes out) just wasn’t as well written as his other books, i’ve felt like i’ve grown out of sad YA romance, and i was listening to it as an audiobook. but i was a fool to think i could survive another one of silvera’s books without a runny nose and bloodshot eyes.
once i got past the cheesy YA writing in the beginning (something that was also a problem with the first deathcast book), i realised i was falling in love with the world that was unfolding before me. adam really knows how to get into the heart of the story and hit you right in the feels. the world he was building was so colourful and, like the last book, we got to see into the lives of not only the MCs but also those around them. he does so gracefully, without the plot getting too messy or crowded and seeing it all tie together at the end was so satisfying and yet so so heartbreaking.
i do think that my opinion of this was swayed by the way i read it, i’m not sure i would have been able to push through the writing if i were reading it with my eyes. but in audiobook form, the cheesiness was a form of welcome relief from the sobbing.

this one just did hit as hard as the sequel. felt rushed and the characters almost mechanical.

Beautifully written in that I loved how the characters were written so we could experience them. Some of the dialogue / inner thoughts of the characters were lame though, like sometimes it was something out of a Disney show. Loved for the character development but 4 because it couldn't beat they both die at the end. The story was reminiscent of the first book in the series by too much, I know the couple was different but their thoughts were maybe a little too similar at times? Maybe I'm being too nitpicky but the ending of the last one I can never forget. This book is unforgettable by how the two main characters are written. I took a break when reading this (obvious if you look at start vs finished date) but I still remembered the two main characters. Not their names, but their circumstances, which is honestly a lot from someone who has to skip back a chapter or two to get situated before taking a two day break. Valentines day boy and heart problem boy.

I loved how during the book you got a glimpse of Rufus and Mateo from ‘They both die at the end’.
Besides that I loved the book, it gave you good perspectives from everyone on how people reacted to the Death Cast. What I do find a bit annoying is how they never went in on that masked killer of the Times Square.

i wish i saved myself the heartache and didn’t read.
lol, joking. it was absolutely heartbreaking. i guessed a few things that were going to happen, but it didn’t stop them from hurting just as much.
my stomach is still doing flips from the ending.
