Adventure- The characters all travel all around the world to follow clues. They also have battles and make allies and enemies. This is very similar to how many adventure stories go.

Propaganda/Control- Control fits more than propaganda. The players are all forced to participate in Endgame unless they want themselves and their families to

die. Most of them wouldn't have wanted to participate if the Sky People didn't (basically) force them. The Sky People also control the rules for the game and what they don't want to happen (when they cut off Hilal's power).

Propaganda or Control fits with Endgame because the sky people tell them what to do. Like if you fail to win endgame your entire line dies. They do this so you feel compelled to do your best to keep your family and friends alive.

Adventure also fits Endgame because they are traveling from place to place. They are trying to figure out clues and not get killed by other players. They make alliances and enemies along the way to get Earth key.

This novel was fun to read because of the many different characters. If the novel was just from Sarah's perspective, I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it, but since they showed numerous unique perspectives, it makes it entertaining.

I would recommend this novel to anyone who likes adventure/dystopian novels. I would mostly consider it an adventure book, and if someone likes solving clues along with the players, they would likely find it very entertaining. However, there is also the aspect of dystopia and control that makes you want to root for the players to overthrow the Sky People.

Endgame was fun to read overall. There was just a few scenes where it was weird and some where you got mad at the book. Some of the weirder scenes that I didn't like were the scene with Jago and Sarah in the airplane bathroom, and the scene where An is rolling Chiyoko's nail around his mouth. Otherwise for the most part Endgame was enjoyable to read.

I would recommend this novel to anyone who likes a mixture of dystopian, adventure, and puzzles. I also feel like maybe some people who read mystery might like.

What do you plan to do if Endgame comes down to you and Jago being the last two? It would be interesting to see if she plans to kill him or if she's unsure of how she would react.
How do you feel about the players who have died so far? To see if she would feel a little bad about the players who have died, or if she is beyond the point of caring.
What is your next plan of action now that you have the Earth Key? To see if she intends to go straight for the Sky Key or if she's going to lay low trying to protect the Earth Key.

I hope that Alice makes it to Shari first, and that her and Shari can work together to protect Little Alice from the other players. Hilal hopefully finds a player or a group of players who will listen to him without the Sky People interfering, so that they can all work to stop Endgame. I hope Aisling figures out what she's planning on doing now that the Earth Key has been found. Hopefully Baitsakhan and Maccabee remain allies for at least a little while longer, but ultimately, if the players are going to overthrow Endgame, Baitsakhan will probably have to die. I hope Jago dies. Sarah will hopefully focus on protecting the Earth Key.

If you loved Christopher as much as you say you do why didn't you call your parents to come and take him back home? She continues to say she loves Christopher but she put him in danger by letting him tag along instead of sending him home by force.
What do you plan to do if it comes down to you or Jago? She continues to ally herself with Jago and say that she also loves him but if that's the case will she have the ability to kill him if it came to it.
Are you going to look for the sky key? She has Earth key now so she might try to keep it safe but you need all three keys to win Endgame.

Control - The Annunaki(Sky people) control the Players and the people of Earth. They are responsible for Endgame and the death and destruction that comes with it. The Players are forced to play Endgame in order to save their lines. The Annunaki might even control who wins Endgame. kepler 22b, the one that is overseeing Endgame, gave each of the Players a clue to help them. Some of the Players got clues that would lead them to the key, others got clues that would lead them to an artifact/place that might help them get to the key, and some got TAKE KILL WIN. . .

Adventure - Adventure fits Endgame because each of the Players has their own adventure to go on and puzzle to solve. To win Endgame the Players must find three keys hidden on planet Earth. To find the keys they have to go on an adventure all around the Earth.

I hope that Shari and her family will go into hiding so that Shari and her daughter stay safe. If not I hope that Shari's daughter doesn't have to die in order for the players to get sky key. I hope that either Shari or Alice win the whole thing.

You sucked the joy out of reading this book!

Madam,

I find myself unable to be fully engaged in this piece of literature due to the quantity of designations and commitments that I was made to do on a weekly basis.

Nonetheless, I found modest enjoyment in the variety of persons and their dispositions that were included in this narrative. The many trials of the individuals partaking in Endgame were very exhilarating.

Cordially,

A. Rog
