Środkowa część najlepsza, bardzo wciągająca, jednak pod koniec coś zaczyna się psuć z bohaterami i powodami ich postępowania. Trochę za szybko to poszło i mało łotrów jak na taki tytuł

WHAT THE FUCK????!?!??!?!?!!!??!!???
this was literally the most entertaining fantasy book i've read in a while and honestly i'm just so intrigued by all the characters here. tbh the start felt slow but once the tournament actually began, it was such a WILD ride oh god.
i love the characters, even gavin. idk how noone else sees it because everyone keeps yapping on about being cruel & evil & blah blah blah but i love his pettiness & just sheer grit. he is just so so hard to get rid off even when being the mostly technically disadvantaged of the group and he is just so clever. like i love his 'fuck y'all' attitude. he is my babygirl.
i love briony too ohmygod. babygirl #2. isobel & alistair are very interesting to me but mostly because i normally find their type of characters very unappealing but their characterisation is very intriguing i wanna see what happens next.
but everything aside, THE TWISTS?!?!??? HOLY SHIT!! the last few pages were a whiplash istg and it was just so fun & anxiety inducing lmao. i love the constant shifting of dynamics within the characters and i am gonna start reading the next book immediately 'cause my loan at the library got approved right away!!! 🥳🥳

I was lucky enough to receive an Advanced Readers Copy of “All of Us Villains” by Amanda Foody and Christine Lynn Herman. This book has been generating quite a lot of buzz in YA circles, so I eagerly jumped into the fray to see if it lived up to the hype. The answer was, yes (for the most part). The novel had a fascinating concept and very cool worldbuilding. I love fantasy books that take place in modern settings, so this novel hit the spot in that regard. The magic system was incredibly fascinating and I would have loved to know more about that. I was promised villainy and morally gray characters, and I found that in droves. All of the characters were very interesting and I liked that they were all villains despite their different personalities, backgrounds, and definition of what exactly a villain is. Due to the perspective chapters being limited to 4 of the 7 champions, we do miss out on some perspectives that could accentuate the novel. Some of the characters felt a little too similar in their descriptions relating to appearance, and as far as I gleaned from reading it they all appear to be white characters. In the sequel, I would like to see more diversity in regards to characters' race.
Speaking of the sequel, with the cliffhanger ending there is certainly a lot of material for one! I felt like the second half of the book unraveled so fast that it was hard to grasp what was going on. A more gradual unraveling of the world we were just getting accustomed to would have allowed readers to have a keener grasp on the second halves' events. This was to the point that the plot twists seemed unsatisfying and the cliffhanger did not stun as much as it should have. I eagerly look forward to the sequel to see how it is resolved. In conclusion, this is a fascinating story with interesting characters and mind-bending magic. It just lost control of itself in the end. I cannot wait to see where it leads next.
