The story was so improbable that the insanity of it all made it even more enjoyable. The novel had its pro's and con's but overall veered towards being a positive experience. These characters are flawed, exemplify sixteen-year-old nature, and heighten the story they are worth reading.ĭespite the preposterousness of the situation, These Deadly Games was fun to read. Their personal relationship to Crystal intensifies her choices and you can feel the pain from these choices both from her and her friends. They act like sixteen-year-old's and that's a good thing, because they are. The supporting characters like Crystal, are flawed. It was kind of creepy but showed that although selfish and stubborn, she wasn't making moves just to push the story along, they made sense with who she was even if the decision was the absolutely wrong one. My favourite part of Crystal and could be yours too is that every time I wondered why she hadn't considered something, within a page or two, she was analysing the scenario the way I considered. This is like the trolly problem, to save one do you sacrifice five or to save five do you sacrifice one, except the one is your sister and the five are your friends? How she projects her emotions is valid within the scope of a YA and is why she makes a good protagonist. Crystal puts herself first because she is selfish her need to save her sister trumps her friends needs. I appreciate a flawed character and multiple flawed characters? Yes please, especially when they are selfish.
