The story is about a young royal from the Wilding court named Isla who is sent to participate in essentially a 100 day fantasy version of The Hunger Games. This event is named the Centennial and it involves 6 different realms that attempt over the 100 day period to break a curse that was put upon them 500 (?) years ago with the premise that one of them is supposed to die in order to save the other realms. Each realm has a different curse that affects their abilities in different ways and thus how they participate in the Centennial. However, to add a wrench to the Wildling's strategy: Isla has no powers. There's different trials that each realm ruler puts on that are supposed to help assess who they think should be sacrificed at the end of the 100 days. Throughout the book Isla makes friends and enemies with the different rulers, in addition to taking part in different side missions that ends up in a crazy plot twist.

The good: The characters are likeable, it’s fast paced, high stakes, has some pretty good plot twists in the mix.
The bad: I felt like the world building was quite lacking. The setting could’ve been even more immersive with some more attention to detail regarding the imagery. I also felt like the plot had holes and couldn’t choose a direction at multiple points.
A 3 star read with a 4 star ending. I’ll continue on in the series, but it didn’t leave an insane impression on me.
