Review: BLOOD TOURNAMENT Vs. HUNGER GAMES
Rating: 5 out of 5

The setting may be somewhat the same but the difference is clear! Blood Tournament is engaging. Very engaging! The scenes are hot, tense and emotional. Some conversations get so emotional you want to cry. The characters are very well-developed and are of diverse interests. Alex King, the protagonist, has to struggle through multiple conflicts that seem too overbearing for his teenage mind - a struggle to maintain an unexpressed love, a promise to be kept to the grieving mother of an only son, a struggle to survive long enough to understand the deceptive schemes of a dystopian government that seems to have special plans for him, a battle against a persistent antagonist and friend-turned-foe, and an even more important internal battle against mistrust and self-doubt.Alex King and Mercy Damalie are probably two of the most interesting book characters that I've read for a long time. Yet despite all the action packed in this book, it seems to be just beginning! It is only the first book in a series, yet this is a series that promises to be the most heart-pounding book series of all time. I can't wait to read the next book which sounds like it is going to be jam-packed with tense action and suspense all through! I still can't recommend this well enough.
