Does this book have deep in depth characters? No.
Does this book have a logical plot and when there are questions they are answered? No.
But is this book entertaining? Absolutely!

Love the characters love the plot love the writing style. Everything was so nice and entertaining, toe curling and teeth clenching. I love the female main character Oraya, finally an actual strong female main character without being cringe. She is strong and a fighter even when she gets stabbed she just keeps on fighting through, but she is also selfless and accepts love at some point, I think the whole stigmatization of: 'if its a strong female character she cant love or be loved because she's an independent woman.' Is awful because I think a strong woman would also appreciate love. Because giving love and laying yourself open like her takes real courage and strength. I also love the love interest Raihn, he was interesting and I wanted to know more about him, why he did the things he did especially why he did what he did at the end of the book. I think their relationship just very interesting, and want to know where it's going to go to in the second book.

The end of the book was such a plot twist and I truly didn't expect it. I thought it was absolutely frustrating but also so good. I think it was a really good way to end the first book and keep the readers on edge and wanting to read more. I for example will definitely pick up the next book!

The games were delightful and really intriguing. And I thought they were all interesting with unexpected endings. The last game was the most intriguing when we get to know a bit more about the other gods of this world and the scene with the girl was very interesting because she wants the worst possible ending for Raihn and Oraya because they killed her love. But then decides that the worst would be that they fight against each other.

I don't know why but I felt so bad for Oraya and Vincent. I acutally felt really sad when he died. even though he did bad things like real bad things he was her father and he at the end of the day loved her.

Awesome book and I am very excited to pick up the second book!
