“Poppy [a child] runs in and throws herself between them, right on the sex-scorched bedsheets, against the pillows that Laurel had gripped last night and buried her face into.”

Whyyyy did we need that description? So gross.

180 pages in and we’re finally getting to the actual tournament the book is named after

What is this nonsense with the nicknames? Max is judging Teddy for not being traumatized or something and that means she’s being pretentious for asking for a nickname? Bizarre

Seeing songs I like on the playlist annoys me. I find this book completely morally bankrupt so now I have to wonder if maybe those songs aren’t as good as I think they are

Damn. When Shadera was introduced I thought we might actually get a female assassin protagonist who actually assassinates people. Unfortunately she’s 0-2 in terms of successful assassinations that we’ve seen. It’s not enough to tell us she’s amazing if we only see her fail

How has it stayed a secret that the Vow involves being raped?? Has no mother warned their daughter?

“He wanted to be her husband.” Greyson, you’ve only known her for like a week. Chill out.

I don’t think I’d fully processed that they’re using their tablets as phones. And not just face-timing or whatever. Callum has a whole-ass iPad pressed to his ear. It’s an incredibly goofy mental image

How small is this city if they can effectively black out every camera in 2/3 of the districts?

Oh my good god this rubber bullet plan is dumb. What if Shadera had noticed the weight difference and swapped back to real bullets? Or got spooked by having her ammo messed with? How were you planning to pass off a guy with no puncture wounds as someone who’d been shot to death??

Maximus’s plan doesn’t make any sense. This city to the north is failing so he wants to bring their elite to New Found Haven…except the way he’s making room for them is by killing all his labor force. Are these new Elites going to be forced to be the new laborers? If so why is he talking like he wants them for their eliteness?

Boy we are really piling on the plot twists here. Fake parentage and fake death on the same page? That’s a lot. And of course we cut away from the scene immediately

“The sound was like a starting gun.” So track and field events still exist in this setting? Who’s competing? Do Heart athletes have to wear masks when they run?
