Gambit CL Denault Books

We're just getting started

Overall, this book was a solid read.

This book had me hooked nearly from that start and our heroine Willow is truly a force to be reckon with. I've stepped away from dystopian a bit because it is severely a cluttered genre at this point, but I truly enjoyed this book.

It takes place in a world where the value of a person's life is largely determined by their DNA. People and Ritters are engineered to be stronger, faster, more deadly etc.

We're introduced to an interesting cast of characters with Reece, Aspen, Morry and Fenn to name a few. I loved Aspen the most to be honest because he is just so relaxed and feels so natural. In a book that's somewhat heavy he is a breath of fresh air. Fenn was another character I adored because he is just so sweet and fatherly from the start. I hope he stays that way and doesn't turn out to be playing some sort of game.

Reece I did not like at the start but seeing as he's our girl's main love interest I knew we'd get to know him better. And I do like him by the end of the book. But he has such an air of mystery about him that I am a bit wary still. I could say the same for Morry something about that women just does not sit right.

Lastly, Thess. We did not get to meet him until nearly end of this book. Considering he was suppose to be Willow's fiance I thought we would meet him earlier to be honest. Yet at the same time as I got further and further into the book I had a feeling they were keeping his introduction potentially for when our group came into crisis, and naturally we got just that. Unfortunately, he is not the pleasant sweet jokester his cousin Aspen is. But that is no surprise. He has been groomed to essentially reign supreme. I do hope his relationship with Willow improves though because he could be a really valuable ally to her cause if she can sway him.

At this point, I think this book is a bit more romance focused than dystopian. Which is not necessarily bad because I like the main couple enough. But I'm actually much more interested in all the new technologic advances they've made, along with learning more about the rebels and their cause. Because clearly the government is corrupt. So I suppose it's a matter of seeing who is truly the lesser of two evils.

Looking forward to seeing what lies ahead for our dear Willow and hoping for her that her moves end in checkmate.

Gambit CL Denault Books Reviews

I loved this book, I could relate to the characters in so many ways. Willow is my new hero. I love her defiance,compassion and staying true to who she is throughout this book by never forgetting the family who raised her. I can hardly wait for the second book. I would recommend this to anyone I loved it so much.
Loved this book!! Very well written - great character development. The author gave me amazing mental pictures of characters, clothing, landscape. It all melded together in a perfect blend of action and adventure. Bring on Book 2!! Bring on the movie version!!
A wonderful read from a new writer who I just happen to personally know. That aside, this book is well written and better than many books by established writers. Which, for me, was not surprising. If you loved Hunger Games, Divergent, you will love this book, too. Do yourself a favor and get it, you will be hooked! CL Denault, I am ready for your next book!
First off, I want to say that I DID enjoy this for the most part. The overall pacing was good, the story was different enough to be interesting and engaging, and Willow was a great MC. Several of the supporting characters were funny and well done (I really liked Ash's humor, and Garron's brotherly role). However, where this one fell apart for me was....

1) The lack of story development (it was fast paced, but the progress of the story was SOOOO SLOW!).

2) What the heck is Reece's role?!?!...after reading the entire book, I'm still confused! He's awful, sweet, thoughtful, controlling, arrogant, etc (I could go on....) but he doesn't "change" over the course of the story, he does it all simultaneously (I still think I hate him). If he's going to be the love interest.....ew. (no spoiler, since it's unclear)

3) She only meets her "betrothed" once, briefly. That plotline is kind of a big part of the story, so the story really felt like it had holes. Also, the scene where they meet is awkward, it's almost like they realized they needed to at least mention him for "romantic drama" or something.

Love triangle? - since I can't figure out if we should like Reese or hate him, and Thess (the betrothed) is MIA in this one ...... I'm gonna say no love triangle ....yet.
