📖
This was quite the book. I don't really know how to explain my feelings. I think it was interesting. I liked the magic system. The worldbuilding and the lore were interest. I struggled to like the main characters -- Calla, Anton, and August -- and I'm wasn't the best fan of the romance between Calla and Anton.

Entertaining read! I felt some of the plot points were rushed.

The romance aspect felt rushed.

Great twists and ended on a fantastic note. Gong could leave it where it ended but there is clear opening for a second book.

I have to say, this was disappointing. I love all of Chloe Gong's other books, but this one just wasn't it. Part of it was probably the present tense narrative, which isn't my preferred style, but also the characters weren't that interesting. Calla and Anton's relationship didn't seem to be very developed. The plot twists and reveals were also rather predictable, though that might just be because I read too many books with similar plots. I liked the general premise, though ("jumping" into other people's bodies!!).

5.0

This book threw me for a loop in the best way possible. I absolutely loved the dystopian setting of this book mixed with the fantasy element of what certain characters can do with their “souls”. The three main characters that you follow are such an intriguing group. They all have 3 end goals with the tournament, but lines slowly blur as Calla and Anton team up in the games. The ending had me in tears and in complete shock. I cannot wait for the next book in this series!

Too wordy, especially the setting description. Lots of plot holes, maybe they will be answered in the coming books...
