The First to Die at the End
A bittersweet queer prequel where two boys share a single devastating day, elevated by Genao's heartbreaking performance as Orion but held back by a bland Valentino and confusing unattributed dialogue. Not as magical as its predecessor, but Silvera still knows exactly how to make you ugly-cry.
The Survivor Wants to Die at the End
The third They Both Die at the End book inverts the series premise with a suicidal protagonist who wants Death-Cast to call, paired with the heir to the Death-Cast empire. Three excellent narrators — especially Alvarez's physically raw performance as Paz — make this the definitive way to experience Silvera's most emotionally ambitious entry.
