Hi Cara,
Today on my blog I am reviewing All of Us Villians by Christine Herman and Amanda Foody.
All of Us Villians come out on the 9th November 2021.
The blockbuster co-writing debut of Amanda Foody and Christine Lynn Herman, All of Us Villains begins a dark tale of ambition and magick...
You Fell In Love With The Victors of The Hunger Games.
Now Prepare To Meet The Villains of The Blood Veil.
After the publication of a salacious tell-all book, the remote city of Ilvernath is thrust into worldwide spotlight. Tourists, protesters, and reporters flock to its spellshops and ruins to witness an ancient curse unfold: every generation, seven families name a champion among them to compete in a tournament to the death. The winner awards their family exclusive control over the city’s high magick supply, the most powerful resource in the world.
In the past, the villainous Lowes have won nearly every tournament, and their champion is prepared to continue his family’s reign. But this year, thanks to the influence of their newfound notoriety, each of the champions has a means to win. Or better yet--a chance to rewrite their story.
But this is a story that must be penned in blood.
(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)
All of Us Villains is a book full of magic and danger.
I enjoyed the premise of All of Us Villains with the deadly game to control the high (more powerful) magic. The family, the media and the politics surrounding the competition.
The book is told via multiple POV's from every champion of the seven families. Each of the characters have their good and bad aspects (some more than others.) I am not sure which one I like more than the others. As they all have something I don't like about them.
The plot speeds towards the end and then it stops dead at the end. I had to double-check that I wasn't missing any pages it ends that abruptly.
Overall I enjoyed All of Us Villians, the world and its magic. I will be revisiting as I want to know what will happen next. Who will control the high magic, and who will survive.
My rating for All of Us Villians is 4 out of 5.
