Review

This is the second book in the Endgame Trilogy and would not be considered a stand-alone novel. There are three prequel novellas "The Training Diaries" that accompany this trilogy. Definitely need to read the first in the series to understand the character development and plot.

With that said, it is an interesting plot that has a tendency to jump back and forth between characters sometimes getting confusing and frustrating. There is a lot of descriptive violence associated with a majority of the characters. The plot is similar to most apocalyptic series using the fate of the world in the hands of a select few to either finish destroying it or attempt to save. Definitely need the previous book to understand the character development and how they relate to the plot and each other. Also, placing all the text to the left of the page instead of separating paragraphs made it difficult to follow along.

Recommended reading level would be 10-12 grade due it's violent nature.

Overall Book Score: very good
