"Per old superstition, a champion's body is always buried face-down. If they attempt to cloaw their way from their grave to seek vengeance, they will only dig deeper into the earth."
The promise of this book was a mixture of hunger games sprinkled with magic. The plot didn't disappoint : magic, teens fighting to death, betrayals, twists and turns.
What I liked :
- The multiple POVs
- The twists, predictable but still had an effect
- The characters are likeable
- The plot, and the worldbuilding even though it was confusing at some part
- The dark atmosphere
What I didn't like :
- The number of times "crimson" was written - sometimes multiple times per chapter ?? that was quite irritating
- I was expecting "real villains" so I'm a bit disappointed
- It felt a little too slow getting to the actual tournament (about 50% of the book I'd say)
- Sometimes the dialogues were cliché
- It's really white
Despite everything, the ending intrigued me enough to look forward for the sequel.
Would I recommand it ? YES
