The First to Die at the End is a "prequel" to They Both Die at the End. It's a prequel in the sense that it is the first time Death-Cast is officially launched, but it isn't the story that explains how it was created. Overall, this story – like the first – also made me cry. Even though I know what's going to happen in the end. In this case, one of the characters dies. It still makes me cry because of how the character died. Overall, it is a fantastic read, and I will definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in the series. And honestly, I might recommend TFTDATE rather than TBDATE. I think chronological is a better read for these.

Although it was a bit hard to get into the book, parts 1, 2, and 6 were great. Parts 3-5 felt too rushed and were very difficult to keep up with while listening to it. Those parts felt like so much context was missing and kind of just felt like glimpses into what was happening (it works in movies and shows, I don’t think it works here). I almost stopped reading it altogether during part 3, but I stuck through it because I hoped it would get better. And it did… until I hit part 6. I don’t think I can give it 5 stars, but maybe I can give it 4 stars if I go back and read it instead of listening to it. I don’t think I’m as excited to read the sequel, but based on how this ended, I think (hope) the sequel will be a better read.
