I loved Mae from the beginning. Given the way Gameboard ended, I'm not giving up hope that the series will become sensational in time. My biggest issue with Gameboard of the Gods was that it focused more on government, military, power plays, information finding, etc. The back-stories were intriguing but it really didn't help in the emo-connect aspect. I could already tell by the way Justin kept going on and on about seeing that infamous "crown of stars and flowers" on her orgasm-face.

This is definitely Mead's most ambitious work to date. The worst thing about Justin was the whole Tessa thing. View all comments. This half-effort can be forgiven though, seeing as this is the first in a series, and the book was already far too long for my liking without throwing in fully-fleshed background characters.
Richelle Mead, at this point I trust you completely because, really, with Gameboard you gave me everything I ever wanted. View all 19 comments. But while I love Adrian despite his bad-boy ways, Justin was just plain infuriating. Oct 23, Isabella rated it it was amazing Shelves: After being involved in a gruesome brawl Mae Koskinen was given a mission to bring back the exile Justin March to Runa.
Maybe it's just me, but I could not meadd emotionally with any character on any level.
Gameboard of the Gods
It bugged me and BUGGED ME that this character was having a conversation with two other beings and I didn't know what was really going on until late in the game because the earliest explanation was so shoddy! I could already tell by the way Justin kept going on and on about seeing that infamous "crown of stars and flowers" on her orgasm-face. And when they were assigned to work together they unravel some horrifying things that go against in everything what they bel Finally a well written dystopia book.
Please try again later. I want more of the alternate genre goodness, not the tedious politics and protocol. I'll be completely honest here. I always marvel about how she can make flawed characters so likable.
Mead really made it work. Aside from being an obvious male-love-interest stereotypethere was gameboar other thing I just couldn't help notice. Not in this book, anyway.
That said, I'm going to give fair warning: I certainly did not need to go into her highschool life. Moving on from Mae, let us take a look at Justin. This scenario is painfully drawn out over several installments, and the readers wring their hands in frustration and agony every time Womanizer makes eyes at the cute bartender or assistant, and slips away with her, leaving Lovelorn alone AGAIN.

It did get a bit silly with all the cheesy religious cults and brainwashed cult members murdering for a higher power. God, the world-building in this book blew me away. Like, how can the two mix, right?! Imagine a Greek-Roman society but make it a bit futuristic, as well as ancient mythological gods and goddesses from different cultures. I had a little horrified moment in the beginning of the book when I realized what I was getting myself into when Mae was described as being so beautiful she could command an entire room, and having hair "like winter sunlight.
Another problem I had with Gameboard was how needlessly long it was.
Mythology, romance and kick-ass adventure combine to create a mdad dystopian world that will sweep you away and have you hooked from the first page to the very last word.
While Gameboard of the Gods could prove to be a bit challenging for less patient readers, it was a great read according to my taste and a promising start to an exciting new series.
Age of X Series
I wasn't impressed with the worldbuilding or Justin's character… But I'm willing to give the second book a go since 1. Also in Age of X. Her role in "solving the mystery" is also a complete boner-killer.
