Whats going for this story is the magic system and the narrative concept. Otherwise, it was a very tell not show book which made it very juvenile. The characters felt 2.2 dimensional. Not flat characters but not nuanced. And the character archs are superficial.

The beginning is a little slow and boring. I had a hard time pushing through the parts before the tournament began. But once the fight started I got hooked. 

The only charcter I didn't like was Isobel. She started out strong for me. A bad-ass pretty girl who can stand for herself. Heck yeah! But as the story progressed, she began acting all wishy-washy and I find myself rolling my eyes at Isobel more. 

She claims to hate being a champion and dreads that she has to kill other people especially her friends and Alistair but when presented with a possible way to end the tournament without further bloodshed, she refuses to listen. Ugh! And the communication skills of everyone in this is shit. Why can't they just listen to one another when they obviously had agreed to alliances.

Those are the only downsides and why I did not give this book a 5⭐.

I love Alistair's character the most. He was the realest of everyone even though he was raised to prentend as someone he never was. I do feel sorry for him though. That is one sad way to grow up. That ending though! Satisfying
