Masters of Death by Olivie Blake

4.0

I really enjoyed this book for the most part. If I'm being completely honest I had some moments where I was completely confused about what was happening. I really enjoyed the snarky tone the narrator (Death) had throughout the telling of the story. It was perfection and often added some humor to serious moments. I enjoyed the way the author chose to tell the story with brief little snippets from the past as like a break in the actual story. Death was probably one of my favorites because of how sarcastic he is throughout the entire novel. I will say that the characters in this book are all incredibly funny and have a tinge of sarcasm written into them. Vi and Tom have snark that mostly plays off of each other and is hilarious. Fox has just adopted this whole persona that allows for snark. 
 I loved that this was three different romance stories in one and that each of them was so different. It was amazing to watch the way these dynamics played out. We had a lot of enemies to lovers vibes going. We have a jilted lover... a forbidden romance... I mean really all the things you could want. I have to admit that once the book started to focus a lot on the game I found myself completely drawn in. I mean who doesn't love a band of misfits who are now tasked with saving humanity? But, it felt like it took forever to get to that point and like I said earlier left me feeling confused a lot. I really enjoyed when we started to see some of the pieces fall together. However, I felt like when the book ended I still had some unresolved questions.
