This was pretty predictable but in a good way? I really liked the characters and their relationships. The world building is really cool. I'm interested to see where the story goes in the next book.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for granting me an arc in exchange for an honest review.

SCREAMING INTERNALLY AT THAT CONCLUSION.

Holy shit, I enjoyed this read. It reminded me of Battle Royale and Hunger Games, except with people willingly volunteering to participate. It also reminded me of the film Jumper with people's abilities to jump into bodies, or course in Jumper they jump to places, not bodies.

Calla and Anton both participate for reasons of their own and begin a rocky alliance. This is made harder with Anton's ability to jump so a catchphrase is used to help Calla identify him. She can jump as well she just chooses not to.

I can't wait for the next book, Chloe, you did an amazing job!
