3.0

I’m sad! I was really expecting this to be a 5 star read but honestly, I can’t complain considering I was able to finish the book. I could really see the familiar aspects of The Hunger Games within it and it just didn’t feel original enough for me! HOWEVER, I did enjoy the chemistry between Kai and Pae! It was good enough to have some memorable moments! I do feel as though it was a read for younger age group and expected something a little more on the spicy side going into it! Idk just would’ve loved to build the romantic relationship or something to make it less repetitive. I can understand that the story is still going to be built upon so I don’t have any grudges against the plot of book 1 and honestly I’ll probably read book 2 after the improvement of the story line towards the 70% mark of things! But yeah, for now 3 star read! Hopefully it’ll get better for the next book as it has a lot of buildable aspects :)
