"Originally I was going to give it 4 stars but I've decided on 5 like I gave the first book. I found myself getting lost in the training for the arena. Personally, for me, it was a little stale. However the games and what took place in the arena really made up for it.
Character development really took off and I found myself feeling like I was truly their friend. I felt everything they felt. The end seemed kinda quick, but that's okay. It doesn't even really seem like it's a big deal anymore after the horrors cade and everyone else went through.
It leaves us on a good cliff hanger, and I'm so excited to get the final book next week.
Outstanding work Taran! đź‘Ź"
