The Game of Triumphs

review 1: 2.5 out of 5 starsHave you ever watched a sport for the first time and had no idea what was going on and found that you just didn't care? That was reading this book. I think this would have been a great book if written by a different author. The premise sounded really intriguing, but was not executed well.With 200 pages of build up, you would think that the plot would be explained, but I felt like the "rules" of the Game changed every page. The actual action of the book was wrapped up too quickly and felt like a book report summary instead of an actual plot line.Besides that, I guess there was really not much wrong with the book. It was just uninteresting. I was not engaged at all. So no, I will not be reading the sequel.
review 2: Oh so much potential! A great... more premise - a real life RPG based on Tarot, and with great rules and stratagems. But, utterly boring. There's no sense of build up, no urgency or massive events. Maybe I need to read its companion Master of Misrule, and this was just outlining and getting you used to the game. But overall I was bored. Things happened quickly, but not in an exciting quickly. The characters were flat, with no development and no relationship between one another. But so many possibilities! I might try the sequel. In hopes that Game of Triumphs was just a really long prologue. But if the writing hasn't matched up to the possibilities a world and game set up like this have to offer, I'll call both books a pass. less
