The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
mysterious
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.75
1st Reread~ 4.75 Stars.
Even better upon a reread. Only reason it's not higher is that, like I said, the ending didn't have that absolutely mind-blowing quality to it.
Original Rating + Review ~ 4.5 Stars.
For a YA book that isn't of a genre a normally read from (mysteries), I was really impressed!
I liked the shorter length of the chapters and the cliffhangers that led me to immediately turn the page.
This book left me on the edge of my seat, eager for more.
The ending was full of surprises and left me excited to read the next book (the end was just a little underwhelming and lacked the "absolutely mind-blown" aspect I was hoping for, but it was still good).
I loved Hawthorne House, loved the characters, loved the story, and loved the messages it showcased.
Can't wait to see what happens next in this series!
