Every character is so well developed, even the side characters! Because of the way it is written, even the dark elements in the book are extraordinary. Everything is so descriptive and I can easily picture myself in the book. One of my favourite things about this book is Erin Bow’s beautiful writing. I definitely recommend this to fans of books with strong female characters. She is strong and can take care of herself. Greta doesn’t whine or complain about how difficult her life is, which I really enjoyed about her. She knows that she could die at any minute if her parents break the peace, yet she is completely accepting of this fact. Greta is a really superb main character for The Scorpion Rules. Sometimes in a novel, if a concept is so detailed, the book doesn’t live up to my expectations, but Erin Bow pulled off The Scorpion Rules really well! I loved every detail about this wonderfully crafted book. This concept is so original and described so well that the reader can easily visualize the setting and story. If war begins in their country, the hostages will die.
I love the concept of this story. Basically, all the royal children are taken as hostages. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. ❃ I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. A game that will end up killing them both-unless she can find a way to break all the rules.
And he opens Greta’s eyes to the brutality of the system they live under-and to her own power.Īs Greta and Elián watch their nations tip closer to war, Greta becomes a target in a new kind of game. Elián is a boy who refuses to play by the rules, a boy who defies everything Greta has ever been taught.
But everything changes when a new hostage arrives. Like them, she is prepared to die with dignity, if she must. Like them, she is taught to obey the machines that control their lives. Until then she lives in the Precepture school with the daughters and sons of the world’s leaders. Greta will be free if she can survive until her eighteenth birthday.
This is how the game is played: if you want to rule, you must give one of your children as a hostage. Greta is a duchess and crown princess-and a hostage to peace. And really, if the odd princess has a hard day, is that too much to ask? The world is at peace, said the Utterances.
