ncarmal 's review for:

The Grandest Game by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
2.0

Could’ve been p interesting. Was actually very disappointing. It was blatantly clear in the first 20 pages which characters would be romantically linked in the end. Not just one, but TWO enemies to lovers except with 0 chemistry or reasonable character progression to justify the end.

Also you know when you’re watching a horror movie and the protagonist is doing something idiotic so you’re screaming at the tv for them to stop but they do it anyway and then die? Yeah there’s that in this too. Everyone just acts dumb and annoying. 2 stars because the plot COULD be interesting if the characters didn’t suck in this book.
