A routine investigation throws a hapless insurance agent down the rabbit hole, into a world where the rich and powerful place wagers on the greatest game on Earth. They call it the Tournament.

Blue Fall takes us to a very primitive place. Each team truly consists of warriors and there are some amazing battles between them. Griffith really made us invested in each team and you can’t help but pick favourites. Others have said the beginning is slow, but it’s only because the main players of each team need to be introduced. Some were more interesting to read about than others, but at the end of their introductions, we knew their characters and to a certain extent, how they fit into their team.
Reading about some of the battles and their after effects was sometimes a bit brutal (France vs. Russia). It really drove home the fact that casualties and collateral damage were expected. It also drove home how savage the Tournament would be. In fact, reading about the brutality of the fights sometimes made my stomach turn because the teams didn’t have an ounce of compassion for each other. Instead of it being a game, it was a war. That being said, reading the fights was complete heart-pumping action and I was anxious for the well-being of (some) of the teams.
The end was incredibly shocking and such an interesting direction to take the series. It leaves off on a cliffhanger and Griffith has me completely hooked. I can’t wait for the next installment! ( )
