The Stakes: Are higher than you can imagine. Like life and death. Welcome to the revolution. And get ready to run.

Now this isn't normally the type of book I pick up but I was able to get my hands on an ARC and decided to give it a show. I loved getting to know the characters even if for a short period of time and getting to know a brief history on the three main characters. That goes to say I loved that there was multiple point of views getting to see how the game went from different angles. I thought that there was plenty going on to keep the readers interested. I thought it was interesting in the aspect of the game but wish there was more details on in what happens when the winners win. When it came towards that ending I was shocked. Would love to talk more into that but don't want to spoil you readers who are interested in getting your hands on this book. But I will warn you that there is a cliffhanger. Overall a pretty good book and I really enjoyed it I would rate this book as a 3.5 since I border on really liking it but I didn't love it.
