4 Stars, but had potential to be 5. It’s like a magical hunger games with better banter. The book was witty and entertaining, but I somehow was left wanting more from both the love interests and the plot itself. I attribute that to the book being a YA novel and almost wish it wasn’t. I like the point of view switching between the two main characters, but I often found it switching either too soon or too late and jumbled the storyline. Nonetheless, it was a fun read that I’ll be recommending.

Hunger Games meets fantasy with elite powers and ordinary people trying to survive. Paedyn is forced to grow up quickly in a dystopian world, and then selected to fight in a tournament for her life. The story was actually not as predictable as I thought it would be. Looking forward to reading the other books in this trilogy!

4.5 stars!!!

The banter in this book had me squealing! But by the end it felt like my heart had been torn out and shredded into pieces. Can’t wait for the next one!!!
