There was absolutely no reason for this book to have been 720 pages. The story was lost in all the words… sooo many words. Needless words…
This is the third book of the Death Cast universe. There are storylines of the other two books weaved in throughout the book (sometimes really forced into the narrative).
TW: self harm, mental health, suicide ideation/attempts
Paz is a survivor of the first End Day where his father was one of the twelve Deckers that did not receive their End Day call. Paz was 9 years old, his father was abusive and was harming his mother. Paz saved his mom that night by killing his dad (all in the first book). What we learn is that in the last 10 years, Paz has been villainized by society as a killer, a threat, a danger. He is lonely. He is suffering and he wants to end his life.
Alano is the heir to the Death Cast empire. He feels like he doesn’t have any control over his life due to his family’s legacy. He has struggled with his own suicide attempts so he feels like he is fated to help Paz survive when they come across each other.
Paz is diagnosed with borderline personality disorder early in the book. A diagnosis that the reader is CONSTANTLY reminded about. There could have been less “in your face” ways of discussing and bringing up BPD without constantly saying “oh because of my bpd”, “oh it’s because of my bpd brain”, “remember, I have bpd”.
This was a slow march through a long book.
Will I read the fourth when it comes out? Absolutely I will lol
