Blazewrath Games
by Amparo Ortiz
The Blazewrath Game is just as much fun as it sounds. And the descriptions of the games themselves are a joy to read. It's easy to see why the sport is so popular in this world.
The story was very fast paced. Every time I read the book I didn't want to put it down, which I had to do often since I would read it on my lunch breaks at work. It would be so hard to put it down and go back to work.
While I can see sprinkings of Quiddich and The Hunger Games in this story, it is unique enough to stand out on its own. It also wound some mystery into the story, keeping it engaging and intriguing.
The characters and world building were fantastically written and really helped draw me into the story. Lana stands out as a protagonist because she is both a Regular, that is non-magic user, and not a dragon rider. She is surrounded by magic users and dragon riders and caretakers, yet she is able to make her own place in this world without needing those attributes.
The ending of the story really surprised me, in a good way. I didn't see it coming and it was a shocking but realistic way to end the story. While this is the first book in a duology, this volume wraps up well.
My one critique is that characters' physical appearances were overly described when we met them, especially mentioning the chest and butt size and curvyness of each female character we met. Please no.
Overall the Blazewrath Games is a fun and exciting story and I'm looking forward to the sequel!
