HarperCollins Endling: The First

Buch war als Geschenk gedacht, kann also nichts dazu sagen.

I absolutely adored the first book, Endling: The Last, and could not wait to preorder the sequel. I love Byx’s story, and the second book is just as amazing, if not better. We get to see Byx really grow and become a leader through these next adventures, which are just as dangerous and thrilling. I always enjoy the second book in a series because we get to know the main characters so much more deeply. I was sad to see the ending of the book. It was hard to put down, and I hope many other readers (kids and adults) enjoy it as much as I did!

An interesting and enjoyable story, but you should read the first of the series: The Endling, The last. By reading the first book brings a better understanding of this book. Really like the characters. Interesting fantasy novels. I read the first novel by happenstance: saw it amongst other books at a wholesale store. Didn't realize it was for older children and young adults: I'm in my 70s. I like using my imagination so it was enjoyable. Hope whoever reads these 2 books do too.

My 9-year-old, autistic, gifted son loves this series. We loved the Ivan series, so I decided to buy this one and give it a try. He LOVES it and we can't wait for the next installment. I read this to my son each night before bed and explained any vocabulary he didn't know - as well as explained when the vocabulary was a made up creature or concept, lol. This series made me and my son realize that he is super into this adventure/fantasy genre and I couldn't be more excited for him. Applegate's writing does bring up difficult situations, such as death, which some parents may be uncomfortable with. However, it has not had a negative impact on my son and it has spurred some excellent conversations that I may not have otherwise had the opportunity to have with him while he is still young enough to be influenced by his parents over his peers.

This writer creates a whole new vocabulary to submerse you into the world of the characters! Very intense! Difficult for a 10 year old who I consider good at reading to pronounce some of these made up names & words but a riveting story that she wanted to hear every night!
