The Girl Who Played Go by Shan Sa

4.0

I loved it until the last few chapters. It is extremely interesting but I don't think the little blurb is correct at all, very misleading. I don't believe the main character uses go to escape as thoroughly as it states, since she is more and more engrossed with what is happening with her life. And the fact that she decides to go with Jing makes no sense to me! She said herself she was not in love with him so why go? And then to depend on the cousin she detests? Only to get caught by her mystery players unit to be raped and tortured. I believe the last three or so chapters happened simply for the author to find a way to get to her ending. Disappointing end to an interesting book. I enjoyed Shan Sa's Empress much more.
