As much as I liked the first book, I found this and the second book in the series missed the mark. I think a lot of the heavier topics just aren't what people who read a Minecraft book are looking for. I'm interested to know if these are popular with kids or if they just sell because they are Minecraft.

I don't play Minecraft. I don't have any investment in it. That said, after Six Wakes, I figured I'd nab one of the author's books at random and try it out. Despite the occasional game-specific gaps on my side, a fun and well executed novel. Seriously didn't expect to connect with it, and did anyway.
Woo!
Woo!

For an old geezer who knows absolutely nothing about Minecraft, I seem to have read more than my share of this stuff! Anyway after reading this you discover it is book three of a series, which could have been helpful for some person somewhere in Minecraft land to put on the cover of the book they are producing, like anywhere, anywhere at all?
Anyway rant over, book was average and forgettable, it appears the unofficial stuff has more imagination than the offical stuff, no surprise there, it is probably been overseen by twenty executives in gray suits and no imagination, and who still can't figure out how to put somewhere on the book the titles and numbers of the books in the series.

Great fun and fits the Minecraft universe wonderfully...EXCEPT- water in The Nether. I won't spoil the reasoning behind the water but on more than one occasion water is used in The Nether in a way that just isn't possible in game. Generally this kind of thing doesn't irk me enough to drop my rating down a full star but this book had done such a great job holding to the basics of the game that this breach was jarring and irritating. Other than my annoyance at the water, this book really is great fun mixed with just enough danger and intrigue to keep you invested.
I will also note that the ending leaves a lot in the air. It definitely feels like it was cut very very short and in turn has left me feeling mildly unsatisfied with how things worked out in the end.

This book wasn't bad, I just didn't enjoy it as much as the first two. I would recommend this for younger middle school aged teens.
