I actually really liked Jack's and Ellen's relationship. And I suppose that that actually sums up all of the characters. They were evil, but not especially memorable. I loved the loyalty of Jack's two friends their willingness to stick with Jack through events that they totally didn't understand. Even with so much indifference coursing through my veins, I recognized the good aspects. So, despite the fact that I was indifferent to everyone, I did really like all of the character dynamics. I think that is partially due to the mood I was in when I read this book. Nor are they bad characters they just.didn't leave a lasting impression. It isn't because they are cardboard they're not. I was mostly, if not totally, indifferent to - well, all of them. No clutter going on here.Ĭharacters: Quite honestly, I don't know what I thought of the characters. It's simple, they chose a pretty sword, and it's.well, simple. As if his bizarre magical heritage isn't enough, Jack finds out that he's not just another member of Weirlind - he's one of the last of the warriors - at a time when both houses are scouting for a player.Ĭover Blurb: Yes or No? I do really like the cover art. At the head of this magical society sit the feuding houses of the Red Rose and the White Rode, whose power is determined by playing The Game - a magical tournament in which each house sponsors a warrior to fight to the death. Soon, Jack learns the startling truth about himself: He is Weirlind part of an underground society of magical people who live among us. And it feels great - until he loses control of his own strength and nearly kills another player during soccer team tryouts. Suddenly, he is strong, fiercer, more confident than ever before. Only the medicine he has to take daily and the thick scar above his heart set him apart from the other high-schoolers. Before he knew about the Roses, sixteen-year-old Jack lived an unremarkable life in the small Ohio town of Trinity.
