The Game of
Love and Death
By: Martha Brockenbrough
Genre: YA Historical Fiction
Pages: 329
Published: 2015
Read: June
1 out of 5
The premise of this story sounds very
interesting – Immortals, Love and Death, choose individuals to play a game and
see if death occurs or they fall in love. However, the storyline quickly goes
downhill. Love and Death have the ability to change into different characters
at any given times which means there are a lot of characters to follow and
makes it difficult to track. I also felt the game, even though short in length,
did not have enough action to keep the reader’s attention. I wanted the game to
have a more adventurous ride. Not only
did I not like this book, I am shocked that it was nominated for the Teens’ Top
Ten this year. I read a lot of YA books published in 2015 that are way more
deserving of the nomination. I hope that some of my teens will read this book,
so I can hear their take.
