Ted Kosmatka’s new novel The Games is an entertaining ride into the future world of genetics, morality, and good old Japanese giant monster movies.
Coming into this book never having read a word Kosmatka had previously written, I immediately enjoyed his prose style and the way he pulled me into the story, giving me reason to care about people like Silas and Vidonia, and the strangeness of Evan and the mysterious Pea.
While I loved the story, I must admit that with this being the first of a trilogy, I’m a little skeptical of the next two books, due to circumstances that happened in this one. I don’t want to put any spoilers in here, because this book is definitely worth reading, but after how this ended, some of my reasons at the halfway point for being glad it was the first of three books sort of came crashing down to earth by the end.
So do I trust Ted Kosmatka enough to get book two and see where it goes? Probably, since I enjoyed the ride so much with The Game.
