Seven teens fight in a tournament to the death to see which family will have control of the high magic of Ilvernath for the next 20 years. But there’s something different about this year’s tournament and it’s champions…. Is it enough to finally end the curse that sends six teens to die every 20 years?

I had pretty high hopes for this one and it definitely didn’t disappoint! It’s a Huger Games meets … I don’t want to say Harry Potter but probably Harry Potter. I really enjoyed the lead up to the tournament but I do wish we got to hear from all seven characters, not just four of them. 
The tournament itself was pretty intense, what we got to read about it. I m looking forward to reading more about it and what happens in the next book! 
I wasn’t a fan of some of the characters at the start but they grew on me. And the reverse happened too, I liked some characters less as the story went on. 
This was definitely a good one and I’m looking forward to the next book coming out!
