Two in one week?! I must be on a roll! The truth is, I literally had 17 different books going at the beginning of this week and my goal is now to start finishing them before I start any new ones (with the exception of my book club selections, because I HAVE to read those, obv). Anyhow, I am officially down to 15 now; yay me!
The author does a very good job of drawing you in and making you care about the characters in the novel. I literally read all but maybe 50 pages of this book today. Even at 374 pages, it's a very quick and easy read.
I really enjoyed imagining the characters development throughout the story, as pretty much everyone in the arena has not been forced to kill in the past. Everyone is out of their element and have to develop in to a new sense of self.
For those of you unaware of the series, I realize that the concept seems sick and sad and just... wrong. But the truth is, that's what makes for an intriguing read, right? I won't lie though; I'm a wee bit fascinated with death.
This book is definitely RECOMMENDED.
First line teaser: "When I wake up, the other side of the bed is cold."
Next Up: Not continuing something I've already started, I will probably read the new book club book next. It is called Sarah's Key and it is by Tatiana de Rosnay.
