Tbh I loved it. I loved the characters, the plot, the ending.
I would say that although being marketed as though it doesn't resemble Red Queen or Hunger Games, I think it does a lot and the plot is quite unoriginal but to me it doesn't make it bad. Also majority of the wiring was really good and I could visualise everything perfectly but there were certain moments which felt slightly cheesy.
But the tension, the characters, and the plot make up for the rest!

I believe the author has been slightly influenced by the "Hunger Games" trilogy. And by slightly influenced I mean not only the concept of the games but also almost every part of the plot seems like an exact copy.
But...the writing of the characters, the dialogues, the banter, the build up and tension were so captivating and well-written that surprisingly I was able to easily overlook being able to predict the entire plot.
I mean the spelling was...not that great but the morally grey characters were. Thus all in all I would still recommend this book for someone who likes romantasy with a strong fMC.
