I hated how it was written, I hated the characters, I hated the insta love and trauma bonding. Just really didn’t like this book.

I have a rule to get great surprises from books that I don’t read the backs, however that worked out worse for this book in specific since I wasn’t expecting all of the suicide talk and I really am not in the right frame of mind to be hearing all of those details. So just warning you if you don’t feel ready , don’t read it. But also probably don’t read it anyway because it’s not like there was anything I enjoyed about it.

I really enjoyed reading this but the love triangle was a rollercoaster. Before this book I thought I love Jacob I wish that was her choice, then start of this book I was like nvm Jacob sucks too, then somehow I was like actually I like them both towards the end.

The action was really good, that parts a 5 star.

It was well written a fast read and I recommend.

The main story , I am legend was okay. I was pretty bored at times and it was a slow read and pretty repetitive but it had sections towards the end I was more interested in.

Buried talents was the next short story and no , I have no idea what happened but I didn’t like reading it to get absolutely nothing except questions out of it.

The next short story is called the near departed , kind of just a basic story. Waste of time I thought.

Prey was next average better than near departed but nothing too special.

Witch war was one that was an alright story but I didn’t like how it was written.

Dance of the dead I hated the way it was written, I couldn’t read it at all and I physically couldn’t finish this short story. It was 2pm and I couldn’t stay awake because of this book.

Dress of white silk was interesting, a fascinating way to tell the story. Written from a child’s POV so it reads like a child wrote it.

Mad house was my favorite story out of all of them in this book although I wouldn’t say it was great I did enjoy relating to the anger by many small things adding up and the way the story went was an interesting turn. It was a bit slow but it worked for the story.

The funeral just was boring

From shadow places was interesting, I read the whole thing without feeling bored like most of these stories make me feel.

And person to person the beginning was fascinating but towards the end it got eh.

I enjoyed it, quite a few frustrating decisions but I am thinking of how amazing it would have felt to read this when I didn’t know the entire plot because of the movies. Some of her feelings were difficult to read because I understood them as well. But overall I’m enjoying it. It has flaws so it’s not the best but I’d recommend it. Also team Jacob even though I know that can’t happen I love Jacob.

It gives Walter white vibes.

Just like in breaking bad the evil of what he does consistently getting worse just made me so mad and sad that I just couldn’t enjoy the book. I stress out reading stuff like this. But clearly it was well written to give me these emotions. Hence the 2 stars even though I hated reading it haha. The only character I liked was Jacob who in my eyes is the Jesse pinkman but I mainly felt pity for Jacob. So once again no good emotions. I like some variety.

In the beginning it was hard to not just imagine the movie, but as I got into the book it was easier and the book was more enjoyable. I definitely prefer the book over the movie as the usual case is. I still don’t love how insta love it is. Like it doesn’t take long to say they’ll love eachother forever which is a very teen thing to do except one of them is almost 100. Other than that I enjoyed it.

I was hooked all the way through, I loved the relationships between the friends. The mystery was fun to work out. However I hoped there was a bit more of a twist to the ending it was a bit predictable. Though still very enjoyable book. I’m not sure of the writing style. It seemed a bit confused sometimes. It’s a multi pov book and each pov was that characters thoughts however sometimes it was talking more to the reader, like a diary entry but it’s supposed to be thoughts. It was still good but I felt like that was a bit confused.

Yeah, enjoyable in terms of the action and plot. I hoped that there would maybe be a bit of romance so that finally something different can happen cause it was just like action, action, action, men are great. But if you’re someone who enjoys action yeah it’s good. It’s really good at being able to visualize what’s going on.

I first read this book 5 years ago, when I first got into reading adult books regularly at 13. I was obsessed after reading the hunger games and this being called the dying game I think I though I was getting something similar - just so you know it’s nothing like the hunger games but that would be obvious if you read the blurb - when I read it I remember loving it so much and recommending it to everyone. I was so shocked by the twists and told myself that I will read it again once I forgot it. Now I had forgotten everything I read it, it was okay. I really just felt eh about the whole way through. I don’t think I’d recommend this for people to read but I’ll keep it just in case someone wants to try I mean I used to love it. It did have twists that I couldn’t guess they just didn’t go in the direction I really cared about and I didn’t like that it ended the way it did.

I'm not sure what to think, I've enjoyed the entire home series so much. However I don't tend to like a you choose your ending book. The ending felt a tiny bit rushed. But i can't say I didn't enjoy this book overall, it was very entertaining I really liked the new villain. I was actually happy with this one dying this time. I'm glad some of the government got some payback as well. Yeah I can't say too much with spoilers, this is probably and surprisingly one of the least emotional books in the series. Usually I cried to the books and this one I was shocked at times, the deaths were terrifying and things i definitely loved from past books but I just didn't feel like it was everything I would've wanted from the last book. I will still 100% recommend this entire series and spinoff to everyone though. I need to have more people to talk to about it.

I loved it, it was surprisingly a very emotional read for me towards the end. This book is so great for thinking about powers you would've never heard of. Not the usual basics and I love it! I feel like I wasn't supposed to feel bad for the bad people but I did and I was so sad when things happened to them because of being in the head of them and yes they did bad things but the dark watchers attacking vulnerable people really is what's bad here.

It was a good book, the twists were great. I just was pretty bored until the first twist that came almost middle of the book. The ending wasn’t everything I wanted. It felt a bit rushed compared to the rest of the story however it was enjoyable just not something I would praise and get everyone to read.

It’s a great book, I love that it’s more from the gone series and I love the new powers and just the crazy ideas of what the powers could be and just new kinds of powers however I didn’t feel as connected to these characters as I did during the gone series other than the ones that are the OGs. I hope that that’s just because it is the first book and it’ll change but when things happen it feels like it makes less of an impact on me. The powers are insane and so cool though. Just losing the mystery and having it as a straight action book means I like it a bit less as well.
