Absolutely amazing!!! Even better than Poison Princess, which is one of my favorite books. Kresley Cole delivers an action packed apocalyptic battle between the cards of the Arcana. Not only is this a battle to the end, but a battle of the heart... Bad things aren't always what they seem.
I only bought this second book, the first failing to impress me, because I'd hoped that Kresley Cole would settle down and tell a wonderful story.
Didn't happen.
She never could make me like any character other than the ones she treated badly, like Jack.
I skipped a quarter of the end of the book, read the last pages and decided to swap these 2 books,
not worth a second read.

I liked Poison Princess but didn't love it, not like I do most of Kresley Kole's other books. It didn't suck me in or make me fall in love with any of the characters. Endless Knight was a completely different story. I couldn't put it down! It is well written, with the characters more fleshed out - more back story and feelings behind each one. I can't wait for the next book to come out! I have to know what happens next!
I love Kresley Cole's books and this is no exception. The series is teen driven but still delivers everything we like in a Cole book. I prefer Cole's series that provides a discrete story in each book and while characters reappear, stories have an ending. I find this series a bit frustrating because there is a cliffhanger at the end of each book and there is an unresolved love triangle. Eh. Of course she's got me hooked so I'll keep reading, but I wish this was more like her other books and had a different h/h for each book.

This was a good continuation of this series. I continue to enjoy this YA post-apocalyptic series where certain teens end up representing tarot cards and end up developing special powers to represent these tarot cards in a game to save or end the world.
I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobook is well done. I think the narrator does a good job with different voices and conveys emotion well.
This book focused less on what is happening in this post-apocalyptic world and more on the interactions between Death and Evie. We also meet a number of other Arcana which was interesting.
I am a bit worried that this series is turning into your typical YA love triangle type of deal. I am not a huge fan of love triangles. I plan on reading the third book and seeing where the story goes, but I am a bit leery because of where this book ends up.
Overall this was a good continuation of the Arcana Chronicles series. I enjoyed some of the new Arcana we meet and enjoyed the action scenes. I was a bit disappointed by the introduction of a love triangle of sorts. However, I am intrigued enough by the tarot card theme that I will read the third book and then decide whether or not to continue the series.

I loved this book...it reminded me a lot of the Hunger Games but with a lot of twists!
Endless Knight - I can't find the right adjective to describe how much I loved this book. There is a lot of action and sexiness and emotional heartbreak. It keeps you on your toes. It does slow down, a little too much, when Evie is in Death's castle. I know what Cole was going for, but after ACTION-ACTION-ACTION-ACTION, there's a slight lull that is a little irritating. I understand that Cole wanted to convey that Death wouldn't be convinced quickly or easily that Evie isn't like the old Empress but it felt like the brakes were put on, when I wanted to continue the ride at 90 miles an hour. But Endless Knight finishes strong and makes me impatient for the third installment.
