Overall, I don’t t think it was a flawless book, but it did entertain me. It had its issues, and I’m pretty sure it’s similar to Hunger Games (although I’ve never read it - 😲), but I will be continuing the series!

Now, sometimes (basically all the time) five star reads for me are five stars because I love them. The story pulls me in to the world. I live amongst the pages for a little while.
PROS:
🗡️Hunger Game vibes
🩸Divergent vibes
🗡️TOG vibes
🩸Unique Magic System
🗡️Found Family
🩸Star Crossed Loves
🗡️Hiding in plain sight
🩸Blood Sport
🗡️Hunter becoming the hunted
🩸Are you not entertained?!?!?
🗡️Heartbreak
🩸Revenge
CONS:
🗡️It is VERY much a YA novel. Not in a bad way. It is a story about kids fighting in an arena. There are bigger themes, but this is made for consumption by a younger audience.
🩸The King
🗡️Elitism
🩸Caste System
🗡️Rampant and Unchecked Poverty
🩸Fear of the Other
🗡️Abuse of Power
🩸The King’s Hilter-ish Vibes
🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️ out of 5 girl’s on the run
