Although I'm around the same age as the main characters, I feel like I would've enjoyed this more when I was younger, or better yet maybe due to the amount of thrillers I read I expected this to be more thrilling than it was (and have higher stakes like I said earlier). So, that notion aside, this book was pretty good for what it was. The reason Avery is chosen is a bit anticlimactic in my opinion, but I think there might be more to it so I'll hold on to that hope when I read the second book. And the other big twist at the end was good too, I guessed it as the story unfolded so that was nice. I'll definitely be continuing the rest of this series.

Enige minpuntje was dat de love triangle een beetje onnodig was.

"The Inheritance Games" follows Avery Grambs, the seemingly luckiest girl in the world. Avery has had a difficult life, but she is determined to keep her head down, work hard, and make it out of her town to make something of herself. Her whole life gets uprooted when she discovers that she has become the heir to Tobias Hawthorne's entire massive fortune. But Avery has no idea who Tobias is or why he left her his fortune. With a whole slew of Hawthornes who feel slighted at being cut out of the will, Avery has made some enemies. Can she uncover why she was left the fortune?
This was a really fast-paced and fun read. I loved the lighthearted mystery and all of the riddles presented throughout the book. It felt like the reader could play along with Avery to try and uncover what is really going on at the Hawthorne estate.
I really enjoy Avery as a character. She is so smart and independent. She may not be a Hawthorne, but she really fits into this world. I also love that she stays down to earth. Alot of teenagers who get massive wealth may find themselves unable to responsibly handle all of this money and power, but Avery stays true to who she is an does not seem to let the money change her.
I am hooked, and I cannot wait to continue this story and figure out what is going on.
