I devoured this book in about two days. I just couldn’t put it down. The story was exciting and suspenseful. There were a lot of moving parts and I was invested in each one of them. Though I do wish more time was spent on the games. Those scenes went by in a flash.
I found myself getting frustrated with the characters at some points, but reminded myself that this is written for a younger audience. Their decisions aren’t meant to match my expectations.
There were a lot of ending left open here. I’m highly anticipating the next book, but I’m a bit anxious about how everything will wrap up.
