Game of Secrets

Game of Secrets by Kim   Foster
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I received a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
The synopsis of this book sounded great, so I did not hesitate to download a review copy. Once I finished the book, however, I realized that I was a bit underwhelmed. It was not a bad book, but it was not a great book either. It had most of the YA Fantasy tropes and was pretty predictable. There were a couple of twists thrown in, one of which did surprise me. But it did not affect me enough to make me say, "Wow! Now I need to go back and re-read the first chapters!"
The pacing was also a bit choppy. There were times when beats in the story should have been played out a bit more. I found myself saying, "Whoa, wait a minute, they already did that?" or "Wait, no one thinks this is odd?" etc. And then there were other times when I thought to myself, "Why is this such a big deal? Why does this matter?" when it seemed too much time was being spent on trivial things.
If you are looking for a quick, light, easy read and you enjoy YA Fantasy, then you might check out this book. If you are looking for a little more meat, then I would skip this one.
