I really enjoyed the book and how messed up the characters were. At first you think they aren't as bad but as the book goes on.. They do become villains, each in their own right. What I loved was the characterization of each character and how they each had very clear goals and motivations. I will say though that Alistair's widow peak did not need to be mentioned quite as often - that being said, Alistair is my fave <3

This was a bit slow to build up and one of the big reveals was quite anticlimactic but I really enjoyed the premise and I like all the characters and their little interactions in a dark tournament setting

Does this count as dark academia? If so, it's the only dark academia one I actually like. If not and it's more of just a straight up fantasy, it's still super good. I need to listen to the second book. It's a great teen battle royale kind of premise with similarities to the hunger games last book of the opponents banding together to want to break the system so it stops feeding on the lives of children. Really like Alistair's character and Isobel's character. Not the biggest fan of Briony and generally like Gavin as well. This is told in multiple POVs so if that's not your thing, maybe skip. But I want to know how everything ends.
