This book was campy. It was so dramatic. It was bloody. And it was brutal. All things I truly adore in a book to be honest. I had a feeling this would be pretty intense reading and I was right. I sometimes can’t read books with too much gore, but I was so intruiged by the concept, the magic system, and the high stakes immediately presented that I couldn’t help but keep reading. This book certainly had some tropes, but executed in fun ways. And it also held a lot of surprises. Oh my gods the ending was…well it left me shaken with multiple twists. I need to go get the sequel. Overall, I really enjoyed this. It’s not exactly comforting but when you’re in the mood for dark fantasy this is a perfect book to try. And I definitely understand why I’d heard it suggested for six of crows fans because there’s so much delightful character tensions, shifting alliances, and questionable morals. Anyway like I said I can’t wait to read the sequel. I definitely hope we get to delve deeper into each character’s psyches and maybe get some more flashbacks?? I really liked the one about Isobel and Briony in this first book. Okay seriously I’m done, bye!

I love this book! It gives Hunger Games but with a more mystery aspect. I liked that their were different POVs to tell the story and we got to see exactly how this high stake pressure changes people’s mind and add more depth to the character development.

I’m very interested in the sequel because I have to know what happens next and the end result of this tournament

I really loved this book. It’s very similar to Hunger Games with a more “witchy” aesthetic which I appreciate. The book jumps between 4 main characters who are very different and yet very similar. They each come from different backgrounds that play a huge part in the reasoning for their actions throughout the tournament. And because of the way the POV changes, the reader is able to sympathize with them despite the fact they’re all trying to kill one another.
