I felt like the story dragged quite a bit. There were quite a few plot holes and the world building feels underwhelming. I am still on the fence about continuing the series.

Stunning first co-authored book from Amanda Foody and CL Herman. I've been a fan of Amanda since her debut, and I'm going to have to check out CL's other books as well - AOUV was so well crafted, with intricate world building and engaging characters, that I need to read more from them. 
The main four POVs are so distinct, each with their own flaws, issues, and thought processes, and I am in love with my enemies who could be lovers. Gorgeously dark and I cannot wait to see how this turns out.

AMAZING!! I so enjoyed this book. I’m not always the biggest fan of fantasy, but this world is so well written and easy to understand. The characters are compelling, each with their own unique flaws and motivations, and even though they are all villains, you still kind of love them. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next!

FREAKING LOVED THIS!

It’s a hunger games-esque fantasy story that doesn’t disappoint. If you enjoy enemies-to-lovers, you need to read it!

Best book I’ve read in a long time. I enjoyed that there were 2 narrators for the audiobook so they could trade off for different genders.

This was such a fun quest/adventure-based fantasy about a group of kids who are raised and forced to enter a deadly competition. I am not always the biggest fan of so many POVs (I really prefer 3 or less), but this was still wildly entertaining and captivating! I truly was at the edge of my seat for much of this book. I am really excited to continue the series. I also think this would translate really well to a movie trilogy or a limited tv series!
