Hey, bookworms! We have a suggestion for you….
Selection: The Game of Triumphs by Laura Powell
You’ll like it if: You love sassy female leads, magical back stories and lots of adventure!
It’s kind of like: If you took The Hunger Games and made it more about crazy old school magic than crazy futuristic tyranny.
It’s about: An orphaned girl named Cat who stumbles (kind of literally) upon a centuries old magical game that involves alternate dimensions, crazy cards and more than a little danger. The people who play the game put their lives on the line, but the rewards for winning are great. As a chancer, Cat can’t play for a prize, but when she teams up with other players like her, that might just change…Will Cat change all the rules and enter the deadly game herself?
