Pierce finished reading Survivor Wants to Die at the End by Adam Silvera
Content warning Minor spoiler for the ending, not story related
Amazingly written and as emotional as always! Because it is the longest book of the whole Death Cast series to date and sticks more to the main characters, we get to know the two protagonists much more thoroughly than in the other two books. It follows Paz and Alan, who we both already know as children from “The First to Die at the End”, which is also why I think it’s necessary to read that book before. I do however, think that “the first to die at the end” is my favorite out of the Death Cast series, just from a style and enjoyment perspective (though the first will always stick to me because I was so positively surprised by it).
[I think that’s because it does not feel like being fully round because of the cliffhanger (somewhat literally), so I am in anticipation of the sequel to this sequel! If anyone can give me a draft of “No one knows who dies at the end” pls send it to me 👉👈🥺. I feel like it is hard to compare it to its predecessor because of the missing book — similar to the second Spider-Verse movie with the third one still not out yet!! — which is necessary to fully understand a lot of plot lines this book touched on.]
So this is not to say that I don’t urge everyone to read this book! I still love it, especially because of how well it deals with these important topics of mental health, self-love, and suicide.
Adam Silvera created fast but no less emotional read, as always!
