Vampire Hunger Games.
A decent read but a little overhyped imo. I wasn't overly attached to the characters or gripped by the story so won't rush to grab the sequel.
The FMC seems a little immature at times & leans into the irritating spoiled princess cliché.

I think I'm torn on this one. I'd like to give it a 4, I think. I enjoyed reading it, and the tournament system was fun to read. I also don't know if I ever really came to love the characters? Except maybe poor Ibrahim. I'd like to learn more about the gods and how all that works. I'm going to read the second one. But I think I'm a little surprised after how much I've read people gush about this series.

((Also - and this is petty because I have read way too many vampire books and also all of Maas' work - I'm not a huge fan of winged vampires. Shapeshifting to have wings? Sure. Turning into animals a 'la the old myths? Of course. But... feather wings and bat wings? I dunno.))

I’m not sure why I took so long to read it, but now I’m hooked and I’m not letting go. I could do without the end fight, I’d rather the king lived and our two mcs joined together happily in love but I GUESS, I’ll go for some drama. I just hope its a one time thing.
