DeadEndia: the Watcher's Test by Hamish Steele
3.0
I was SO excited to read this as I LOVED Dead End the show, and whilst I definitely liked the show more it was so much fun to be back in this world with these characters. I think Barney is such a great mc and I love the conversations about his transness. The concept and plot here is so unique and interesting. I do think it was tackled better in the show - I think the book had some pacing issues and felt like it was rushing through some of the key points. There was also a bit more plot brought into the show that was left out of the book that I would have loved to see. I am excited to read the next volume though, as it’ll be content I’m consuming for the first time.
