This book was amazing I loved having no real good guys it made for something different but still very interesting to read. The characters were all very interesting in their own ways but I liked Alistair and Gavin the most one thought of as the monster and the other thought of as the first to die in this tournament but there is so much more to them then that. I liked Alistair for his love of his brother he would whatever to keep him even ruin something as for Gavin I like his tenacious spirit and will to be strong so that his family would be thought of more than just the first champion to die because of his family name. The plot was interesting a terrible tournament that one wants to end to save her sister while the others want to survive or get the power looking forward to reading more.
