Tournament of Losers by Megan Derr

4.0

Rath is living his life the best he can. Only a crime lord thinks he's responsible for his father's debts and needs to pay them off sooner rather than later. His friend presents an idea: Compete in the Tournament of Losers, where the winner gets married into the noble and royal houses, and competitors are given enough funds to live on for the duration of the tournament. With these funds, Rath can pay off his father's debts.

This story was so predictable yet so good. Rath is such a strong-hearted individual, yet he is self-loathing at times. You can't help but root for him to succeed. What I like about this is that Mrs. Derr wasn't relying on sex to tell the story. It was all plot, and I loved it. I would have liked to have seen what was happening off the page; I'm not talking about the sex. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading drama and fairy tales.
