I really liked the setting of the book, but the story didn't really convince me. It's a bit chaotic, and the games are a little bit forced into the vampire plot, in my opinion.
I liked the main character at the beginning, but then I have the feeling that she constantly contradicts herself, going from not wanting to trust anyone all the time to being the most trustworthy and innocent person who is fooled by everyone in a matter of seconds.
I found it a bit bloody for a YA. Still, it's a well-written book, I especially liked the magic system and the setting.
