Endless: I Arrived
What would you do if you personified a fundamental aspect of existence? If every choice you made as the embodiment of that concept could drastically alter not only the state of the universe surrounding you, but the very logic and rules that frame it.
Enter Endless, the living concept of endlessness. A being who as his name suggests, simply keeps going. With no end possible for this unique existence, Endless freely roams the innumerable worlds, planes, and dimensions that populate the unquantifiable expanse of everything and more. On this particular trek, Endless finds himself on a quest, driven to locate that which has been dubbed 'The Answer'. For an entity with endless life to live, it is an opportunity to learn something which could frame the rest of his existence for all the time to come.
When Endless does reach his destination, within the strange map-defying region known as Else, found 'where areas aren't', he finds 'The Answer' is not a what, but a who.
When Endless asks the big question, if she would be willing to teach him all she knows, she simply replies "You need to give me... An answer of your own. And a good one at that." Which faces Endless with an even bigger question: What answer do you give to the one that has them all? For Endless, it's a story. One which reaches through both Endless and The Answer's nature as embodiments, and attempts to find meaning about their and any other existence's place in the universe.
This story follows the embodiment Lexicon. The personification of letters, words, and language. And Lexicon has a bone to pick with humanity. Will Prevention stop him?

Two things that stood out for me when I was reading this book; the prose is impeccable and storytelling has this distinctive feeling of getting you hooked. I don't think I've ever read anything that deals with metaphysical concepts like this before. The book explores deep philosophical concepts about reality, consciousness, existence and nature of the universe amongst many. These fundamental concepts are then personified as embodiments that exist and make choices that affect the existence of reality and the human experience as beings.
The major part of the book is about Lexicon, personification of letters, words, and language and he has a quarrel with humanity. Reality, Time, Freedom, Prevention, Thought and Experience are amongst many of the characters (embodiments) we meet and each has their own journey but now that humanity is being threatened and possibly their own existence they must work together to stop Lexicon from becoming the next "Thanos". I enjoyed their individual stories, how the author managed to give each embodiment enough time as a way of "character development" and revealing their purposes. The idea of fundamental aspects being personified just gives one a different dimension of life and how we view certain situations. For book of less than two hundred pages, I was not expecting the action scenes to be well descriptive and long lasting like they did, well done!!
I would have loved to be part of Endless' journey, not only hear about it but experience it with him. But I still think we will hear more about him as the story continues in the next book because his journey never ends, as an embodiment of eternity it will be nice to travel with him as he journeys around the universe and hopefully with "Answer" as they seemed to have established some of relation.
