I honestly just wanted more of everything. The concept was interesting but on execution I feel like more time should've been spent fleshing out the world and the characters. Like the other characters were only there to fulfill the requirement of the game instead of Pia having a strong connection with them over the course of the games and them having their own dynamics amongst each other. There was also an underutilization of Renzo, it would've been interesting to explore the friends turned rivals dynamic but he just helped Pia out at every turn. I really didn't understand his motivations as a character. Also Pia being added to the team so quickly to the games' start- I feel like this doesn't make much sense considering the stakes of the game.
In my opinion it would've landed better if it were longer (more time to flesh out characters and world) and had Vittoria as the mc instead of Pia, she has a little more going for her in comparison to Pia who's kind of a blank slate.
The book art is SO CUTE though!!! It's done very well and what made me pick this up in the first place!!
