I was utterly bored reading all 382 pages. I get that it’s a YA book.
However… it doesn’t excuse how surface level everything felt and how lackluster it was. The relationship and how it was going to end was a predictable wannabe Romeo and Juliet situation. Every single character, both main and side lacked depth and personality.
The games doesn’t happen until page 211. Everything before that was just nonstop monologuing. When we finally get to the games and everything starts happening the whole thing just fails to invoke any sort of emotions. I felt no panic, pain, turmoil, anger, etc. I was just like “oh. Okay”.
After the games the tour happens, some deaths occur that were easily predictable since the first few chapters.
It’s okay… I guess.

Mmmm.
It’s… can I say unseasoned and poorly executed. The world building is trash. The romance is at 40ish% and it was lame. The characters had zero chemistry.
