Court of Fives
ByPublisher Description
Jessamy's life is a balance between acting like an upper-class Patron and dreaming of the freedom of the Commoners. But away from her family she can be whoever she wants when she sneaks out to train for The Fives, an intricate, multilevel athletic competition that offers a chance for glory to the kingdom's best contenders. Then Jes meets Kalliarkos, and an unlikely friendship between two Fives competitors--one of mixed race and the other a Patron boy--causes heads to turn. When Kal's powerful, scheming uncle tears Jes's family apart, she'll have to test her new friend's loyalty and risk the vengeance of a royal clan to save her mother and sisters from certain death.

3.5
“This book was weird. I liked it I think, but parts of it were confusing and some of the backstories/history felt unnecessary. Some of the names are super hard to pronounce and a few of them are very similar which added to the confusion. I’m on the fence about whether or not to continue the series.”
