Century Minecraft: The End

I pre-ordered this a few months ago but did NOT expect this amazing book! This is a great read for any young adult who loves Minecraft! It's a touching story with suspense, sadness, and excitement! All the characters seemed so real and true to the game! I couldnt stop reading until the end! (of the book) I recommend this to any tween/teen Minecrafter who loves to read Minecraft stories! A definite 5-Star book!!!

So, i want you to go ahead and look up the word “masterpiece “ on the dictionary. As you can see, it says “the end minecraft novel”. Because what else is it supposed to say,all of cube kids books? Oh, right.Anyway, this book is great. It starts out-surprise, not boring! Well, its slow, but at least its achually interesting! Kinda like the silver eyes, the books split in two parts: the first half is pretty slow (but at least things happen!). But then, a human army arrives to destroy everything! Just kidding: but thats what the endermen think! However, its a small group of four kids looking for some loot. Okay, this is a spoiler alert, so just skip this part if you haven’t read it yet: the humans dont freak out at the sight of two deadly endermen. Because fin and mo aren’t endermen: they’re humans!!! DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUN!okay, the spoilers have ended. Yeah, thats one of the two epic plot twists. I love those when done right, and they did it right here. Did i mention grumpo the shulker? Hes the best character i hate him. He hates me. And himself. And the end. Grumpo hates everything and i can relate because i also hate everything. Thanks grumpo! (Wait, why am i thanking him randomly. Oh well).Oh yeah, also read cube kids books he good

My 9yo is completely engaged in the book, this is his favorite Minecraft novel so far. He gets really excited and tells me all about it! I love that he is so excited about reading, and it sounds like a great story.

Catherynne Valente has worked some magic here, creating a memorable story that packs a lot more punch than you'd expect. The writing starts out on a very simple level, but grows in complexity as the book continues until it's enough to almost break your heart. The characters grow and evolve in much the same way, a deliberate stylistic choice that is built into the storyline so subtly that you don't quite realize it's happening until near the end. The story is well enough written that you don't need to know anything about Minecraft to enjoy it, although I imagine fans of the game might enjoy it even more. Definitely worth reading for anybody who enjoys fantasy novels, video games, or both of those things together.

This book was a very refreshing addition to our Minecraft library. There were a couple of minor discrepancies with game mechanics, but they were easy to overlook as the story was enjoyable and engaging. That ending was...awesome! I almost hugged my book. I really hope there is a follow up like Max Brooks is doing with “The Island.” I’d love to see if 1001 works. (You’ll understand when you read it.)P.S. Grumpo was by far one of my favorite characters of any Minecraft story I’ve read, so bitter, yet sooooo loveable!
