Court of Fives by Kate Elliott
3.0

On the whole, I did enjoy this book. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but loved the concept of the Fives Court. It reminded me of the second arena in the Hunger Games series (Catching Fire), with the different trials in different segments. The different sections they have to run through changed each time, making it more exciting and interesting to read about. It’s the kind of game that would look great in movie form...

While I did have some issues with book, and have given it only 3 stars, I did enjoy it. If you’re a fan of YA and game-like situations, then definitely pick this book up. The concept is really neat, and it’s a good mix of issues around society, hierarchy, and a caste-like system, and family, friendship, love and loss.
