It started off alright, decent characters, decent writing. There was a little cliffhanger before we dive into the past. But then it just progressively gets worse. I hated the ending, horrible trope. I hated all the characters, they were all acting so morally wrong. It also felt like their behaviour was supposed to be seen as justified. The pacing was off, and I hated the romance. The little cliffhanger in the beginning also spoiled the ending.

It reminded me of myself, when I was a depressed rebellious teenager. I think it accurately portrays the type of mindset you have when you feel like garbage at that age. I immensely enjoyed the narrator and the writing. But it's a short book, and it's very character-driven. So, there wasn't much that happened, and I missed some plot.
This book has so much hype around it, it's almost impossible not to be a little disappointed.

As someone who hasn't read the original series, this book wasn't that enjoyable to read. It felt like it was specifically written for fans of the series, and the epilogue even spoils the original trilogy. The writing was fine, the characters were fine despite the insane amount of Lenore Dove mentions. The actual games were only around 30% of the book, and there was less tension because you already know how it ends. There were so many songs that I just scanned through them near the end. Yes, this book is brutal and traumatic. Yes, it's basically fanservice and it could have been executed a lot better. Needs a little more show not tell, but still pretty enjoyable. Especially liked the games and the way those ended.
3/5, and for the author: Please write a book from the perspective of a Career that we haven't heard of (so we don't know who wins) and then give them a massive reality check. I think that would make for a great read....more
This book was my lowest rated physical TBR book (on 欧宝娱乐).

And it sure deserved it. I thought the mystery was poorly executed, and I thought the conclusion was unsatisfying. This was pretty bad and I was not invested. I didn't like the characters, most of them had unnatural personalities and they were not written well. The dialogue was bad, I didn't like the time skips, and the writing was mediocre.
