Sad to find another book that's a DNF. More so a book that I don't care to finish. If I'm 100 pages + in and I still am not emotionally tied to ANY of the characters. That's not a good sign for me. The setting is great, the traveling, the idea, etc. but there are so many missing elements I feel to really allow me to enjoy this book fully. It's really a hit right now in the YA world which I thought I would enjoy. Goodreads and book booktubers you guys let me down! (I still love y'all though). 
 The competition isn't really a competition. It's just a life of magic I feel as though. When I read a summary of a fierce competition between two magicians I think of something way more intense than what I read. I never really understood what the game was (which caused me to get bored and give up reading the book). Neither did the actual people playing game though because their "father figures" never told them anything. 
 If you enjoy a good story then this isn't the book for you. The characters are so weekly developed it's nerve wracking. Now if you enjoy a slow read with a lot of build up and description then maybe you'll enjoy this book. I'd rather just be thrown into a world and attempt to understand it on my own. 
 I would say this review summed up my exact feels of the book perfectly except she was actually capable of finishing it HERE.
