Okay I have to admit this has been on my tbr for the longest time, it’s actually embarrassing. 🫣 but we made it!
I’m not going to lie, at first when I read the note about the crossing out and the repetition and kept reading those extensive metaphors I was like oh no.
But I’m nothing if not a yapper and goal-oriented so I got used to it pretty fast and I was like you know, I’d probably talk to myself too given the circumstances.
Also, had to remind myself this was written years ago in classic YA dystopian fashion.
In terms of characters, Kenji’s commentary on literally everything and Warner’s psychotic moments truly kept the pace going. I have somehow managed to not get spoiled at all except for the odd quote but I do know people love those two characters. Although besties, if this is the Warner we’re getting, I’m slightly concerned about all of us because???
I have all of the books already so we keep going 🥳

This is based in a dystopian society. It is somewhere to hunger games, except for the trials (yet at least)with a little bit of magic added in. If you don’t like bloated, purple prose then you will absolutely hate this book. There is a lot of fluff and repetitiveness as well. Honestly, not much happened in this book and I think it could have been shortened to a Novella. I did enjoy the world building, however, and will continue on the next book.

“blush of roses on my face. His eyes scan my silhouette and the slow motion makes my heart race. I catch the rose petals as they fall from my cheeks, as they float around my body, as they cover me in something that feels like the absence of courage.”
i’m sorry, but what? Just an example of it being too much.
