Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House Children's UK for an advance readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

I found The Inheritance Games incredibly tedious to read, I didn't feel as though I could relate to any of the characters, or that any of the characters were actually appealing. The Inheritance Games was an interesting concept, although it felt ridiculously far-fetched and nothing interesting actually happened until the last 25% unfortunately.

This book is "Perfect for fans of Riverdale and Knives Out" according to reviewers, the only similarities I can find with Knives Out are an inheritance is left to someone - although under very different circumstances to Knives Out and the comparisons with Riverdale are how completely nonsensical the storyline is.

To be honest, I just didn't enjoy this book, I didn't feel engaged and there were multiple times when I thought I was going to have to just stop reading it because I wasn't interested - but I pushed through just to see how this book would end, which was also disappointing, there were answers but the answers were bland and disappointing, there was no REAL mystery in this book in my opinion and I don't see how this book can have a sequel/sequels in the future.
