- Why Hello!
"The Inheritance Games" was pretty much the book I was most looking forward to reading from my fall TBR list. "The Inheritance Games" was published in 2020, and has been getting a lot of attention recently due to Booktok. If I am being 100% honest, "The Inheritance Games" did not live up to my expectations. That being said, it wasn't a bad book, and it had a lot of fun moments. I have A LOT of brutally honest opinions about "The Inheritance Games" in this review! Enjoy!

You pretty much nailed it. I felt like the whole games/scavenger hunt plot was unnecessary once we got past the fact she was going to get the fortune regardless. I struggled to stick with the book throughout the middle part. The love triangle junk was unnecessary, as well. Fortunately, things picked up more & salvaged the book in the later parts. Good, not great. Definitely could've been better i think. Should've made inheritance dependent UPON solving the puzzles. Wouldve made so much more sense, i think. Great review!
You got the exact thoughts right out of my mind, I super agree that it didn't deliver with the promises of puzzles, traps, excitement, more knives-out-esque plot, and etc. that it made in the beginning of the book. It just turned into a cheesy love triangle romance fantasy. New subscriber for sure!
i know this video is several months old, but i found it recently while i was 3/4ths of the way through the book. i paused before you got into the spoiler section and just now finished reading, and i agree with everything you mentioned. [spoilers here]

you're telling me this multibillionaire couldn't just put these boys in private therapy sessions twice a week for the year following their angsty backstory?
I felt the same way as you!! It’s nice to hear your thoughts. I just finished it and I’m disappointed but I still want to read the second one. Also it’s one of my favorite covers too!
Amber, since i found you with the Kindle Signature unboxing I’ve watched quite a few of your tubes… Can I just say that I really enjoy the way you do your reviews / tubes etc.. have a great day..
Hi Darron! Thank you for your sweet comment! I truly appreciate that! Have a wonderful day! ☺
When I tell you scrambled for the pause button when it was time for spoilers 😩😂 I love your thoughts on these books!
😂That is so funny! Spoilers can be the best yet the absolute worst sometimes! lol Thank you so much!
I absolutely agree!You took the the words out of my mouth!!I really tried to love it but it just wasn’t for me.I felt that it was just okay, I was intrigued enough to continue but not completely hooked
Love the review and editing! Subscribed! 😊
oh my gosh yessss I totally agree with your reviews💕💕
there’s supposed to be a third book coming out this august and also I’m ur 1 thousandth sub 👯♀️
Omg!! This is the most exciting comment over!! 😭😭 Thank you for your sweet comment and for taking my channel to 1000 subscribers!! I will forever remember this comment ❤️
I'm literally counting down the months until august
I’m late to the party but I didn’t really like Inheritance Games I bought it because it was so hyped up but the plot could’ve been better and didn’t really make sense to me and I absolutely hate love triangles 😂 don’t know if I will be buying the second book
I totally agree! Like because booktok hyped it up so much I thought it was going to be so much better!
Agreed!! It felt more like a drama than a book full of twists, turns, and riddles!
I respect your opinion but I loved this series
Here is mine,
I felt the whole tobias Hawthorne is such a big shot thing was very unrealistic and just... Like a plot convenient thing, it kinda irritated me so much.
Avery our main character- bro she is just there for the plot nothing more, I know I might not make sense but her emotions all just kinda bended as the plot demanded, she didn't feel like she had a personality.
The boys would've been a hook, they were kinda a hook for me but I liked nash and Alex more and they weren't the main focus so oh well. (And I absolutely hate Jameson, he was the main focus in the story and I absolutely detested it.)
Don't get me started on the Emily situation it was a big NO.
The whole paparazzi thing and whatever the hell was going on, It just didn't fit well.
Anyways what I did like was Max and Avery's friendship it was done well. I also liked the random paras of the boys accomplishments and how they were raised.
I'm very confused if I'll like the inheritance games or not and I'm scared I wont after I buy it so I'm a huge harry potter and pjo fan I love fantasy fiction and adventure but I wanted to read something thriller and ykwimm so what do u think abt inheritance games? I hv read reviews and stuff but what/how exactly Is it? Like how would u describe it or say to a person like me¿
Tyssmmm💗💗💗
my taste is 100% same as yours 😭 so did you like the book? I'm just curious
@@simi117 heyy it's been a year but I still havent read it 😭 I bought it recently and I'll tell u how it is definitely after I read it!
@@levi0xa737 ooh okay! have fun reading ✨🫶🏻
i know you've probably read it by now but i had the exact same taste as you like last year and read the series and i loved it so much and i literally have a countdown to the last book comes out in a few days. the only problem i had with it was that i felt that grayson deserves so much more so i pray he gets a happy ending in the final book. the only thing that might put some people off is the slight love triangle between the main character and two of the four brothers but i think it was done well and in the end of the first and throughout the second, it was made clear. and a few of the characters definitely remind me of pjo characters like xander is the
re-carnation of leo with the energy, chaos and invention-y personality
it got me out of a reading slump and i definitely recommend it as a book in general but also definitely as a start outside of fantasy 💖
This is the most honest review ive ever seen totally agree with everything she said it was not my favorite book
He has 4 grandson, does she end up with one? Not interested in any love-triangle stories right now.
Yes there is a love triangle between Grayson, Avery and jameson
This book seemed like one long game of episode...not to mention I literally guessed the ending of the book after the first few chapters, yeah I'm never trusting booktok again
U gotta read the 2nd book!
Age rating??
All of the reasons she mentioned they like develop and get better in the second one
Oh nice!! That is great to know! I am going to try to read the second one this month!
@@AmberAlise pls do,I loved the second one
Step-brothers sort of plot but lesser thrill? Though character development was pretty perfect
Interesting cover indeed.
Busy, but to the point it draws the eye moreso than it distracts, clever use of lightsources to warm an otherwise cool color scheme--
It reminds me of the covers from the Opera Book Club but with more attention to readability of fonts and richness of composition.
I can't disagree with you ♥️
I completely agree!! That’s a great analysis of the cover! The author created one heck of a cover!
Jameson tho :-)
I disagree I love the whole thing
Jameson = 🥵
Thanks for the awesome review! I will definitely have to check this book out!
Will you start a book club?? You're insights into every book is amazing and so well though out!
If you do decide to do a book club, I would be very interested in joining!
Hi Izza! What a kind comment!! Thank you! I’ve briefly thought about it in the past, but you’re definitely making me want to consider it further! That is definitely something I will look into doing now!
@@AmberAlise You should absolutely do it!
