A review by bhartinikita
The Cup and the Prince by Day Leitao

4.0

The first installment of the series , this story revolves around Zoya, a kickass character, who cheats her way into the Royal Games at the palace because her boyfriend demeans her femininity.
In a male dominated kingdom, Zora isn't appreciated much as a champion until she shows her true worth to her competitors. And this leads to forging new friendships and animosities.

An extremely quick read, this was at times entertaining, but also at times quite predictable. I liked the character Zoya, but there wasn't much characterization for the other characters in the book, specially the Prince who is one of the other main characters, which was a bit off putting.
Quite a few things were happening in the book that didn't have much explanation, and it eventually ended in a cliffhanger.
