All of Us Villains by C.L. Herman, Amanda Foody

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

All of us villains was a really surprising book, it’s a mix between The hunger games and the faith anime series. And I’m here for it. 

Characters 
I love that the writers choose to use multiple pov’s. You will find yourself rooting for multiple characters eventhough you know just one of them can survive. 

All characters have reasons that they have to win and some of them deserve to win. There is a champion for every reader, which also means that there will be characters you like less. 

Story 
The story is about a group of teenagers that have to fight a magical contest to win a great power for their families. This contest happens every 20 years and used to be fought in secrecy. Now the secret is out in the open. May the best champion win. 

Writing 
The writing is done very well. The chapters link together flawlessly. The differences in writingstyles are really hard to spot. 

Worldbuilding 
The magic system in this world is interesting and different to what I’m used to. I liked it but it isn’t for everyone. I feel like the world is very detailed but that we didn’t get enough to really understand it. 

Recommendations 
I would recommend this one-off almost everyone. It’s a good steppingstone into fantasy, especially for science fiction lovers.
