i adored jameson’s pov, grayson’s, not so much. jamie and avery are a perfect mix, and i don’t know, i just wasn’t as invested in his mystery. but overall it is a worthwhile read, especially since we’ll need all this backstory for The Grandest Game

thoughts while reading

p2: xan is the smartest 5 year old in existence. he’d be perfect on taskmaster
p11: this is the chemistry we were missing in Raised by Wolves
p13: what happened in prague??
p15: well at least we’ll find out eventually in Games Untold
p111: have we stepped into a fantasy novel? what do you mean there’s an underground river??
p141: we stan a protective grayson
p239: this really do be an immersive experience
p338: this is blatant sexism here. a now should be a now no matter who says it
p355: based on what little i know of The Grandest Game, i reckon jamie and avery find a way to keep vantage and use it for the competition
p361: omg wait i bet
simon is actually j’s dad
p415: well jamie certainly won’t be answering it, i wonder what forfeit he’ll get
p463: hmm well i never would have guessed that
