Minecraft the island book download map

Valente created an in-depth world from the original game and fleshed it out in ways that I would never have thought of. I play Minecraft religiously, and my review comes from someone incredibly familiar with the mobs of the game and from someone who has already loved one of Catherynne Valente's books Space Opera. That being said, I don't know how well the book would come across for someone who has never played the game. Valente doesn't focus on explaining every minute detail that someone with a general understanding of Minecraft would know, so you don't have to be a hardcore player.

Still, you may be confused if you don't know anything about the game. Regardless, this book blew me away. While I loved the beginning, I began to slump a little in the middle and didn't really like where the story was heading. It felt too much of a departure from the world-building in the beginning and only made me frustrated.

But the ending delivered on all of that, combining that epic world-building and lore with a twist that no one could have seen coming. The end destroyed me, and I loved it unconditionally because its a concept that I haven't seen done before, and Valente did it incredibly well. On top of all of that, I also really love the writing style of this book. There are so many quotes that I want to remember and, while I got this from my library, I might very well buy my copy to tab things out.

Most of these quotes have to do with the Great Chaos, and I want a prequel just talking about more lore of the endermen.

Jun 15, Sean Cozart rated it liked it. This is the second official Minecraft novel I've read and one thing is for sure, I have mixed feelings. Mostly because I liked this book WAY better "The Island" which was garbage but I rating this book only a star higher than that for very specific and good reasons.

Plot: Fin and Mo are twin endermen with no parents living alone on a ship with their hoards of things they collect that is guarded by their shulker Grumpo. Their best friend is Kan who is enderman who's an outcast from society because This is the second official Minecraft novel I've read and one thing is for sure, I have mixed feelings.

Their best friend is Kan who is enderman who's an outcast from society because of his unique eyes. Soon, their world turns upside down when humans come to the End and rumors soar that the war between the humans and endermen will decide the fate of both dimensions Here's problem number one and this is the big one for me.

The human characters are cardboard. They are forgettable. As I read their conversations, it is all the same person to me because there was no difference in their characters. Most of the endermen in the story had more depth than the humans. Jax and Jess had some decent development later on but Koal and Roary are forgettable. They as characters did nothing to move the plot along and I'm sure if the author had cut them out entirely, the story wouldn't change that much. So lack of character development and unnecessary characters really bugged me.

My second problem is the language used. This is a book targeted for middle schoolers and I'm sorry, I wouldn't want my children that age reading a book designed for them that uses "oh my god", "crap" and "frickin" all the time. Might as well just drop the f-bomb if your going to use that language. Besides those two aspects, I thought the book was good but only worthy of 3 stars because of the bad things. It was sort of predictable but the ending twist was pretty good, a dark ending but everything is these days.

Jan 09, Michelle Alexandra rated it it was amazing. All hail the great chaos. One of the things about Cat Valente I always admire is her ability to modulate her writing for reading level without losing the wonder or fascination of her story. And this book is no different. I love Grumpo. Grumpo hates you. Feb 09, Kronk rated it it was amazing. What is existence. We're born, we grow up, we die. This book init of itself, made me question the human cycle.

The characters, wow, can I just say, I can't well-crafted haha, anyway these complex vessels of human emotions are. The main character, Grimbo, has more depth than my own mother. He experiences love, loss, regret, and solitude. He is born into poverty, and is accepted into the Fire Nation against his own will at a young age. He only knows death. His best friend, Felipe, was his only s What is existence.

His best friend, Felipe, was his only saving grace, bringing him back down to reality when he let his bloodlust run wild. Felipe, sadly, died of chemical exposure when left in the clothing dryer by the Fire Nation leader, Moses, after being mistaken for clothing.

Grimbo's only sense of love in this world was quickly taken away from him. Grimbo, age 7, finally understands what true pain is. After this traumatic experience, he vows to kill every last living soul who ever associated with the Fire Nation. This is a tale of forgiveness. Moses didn't know he was putting Felipe in the dryer, it wasn't his fault.

Moses felt sorrow. He didn't wanna die, he had aspirations, he had goals. This is an example of the layered characters you find in Minecraft: The End. I cannot do the dialogue any justice, it is so complex, it brought a single tear to my eye, just one. From basic plants and ores to enchantment tables and End stone, you'll find everything you need to know in the Blockopedia.
