Kindle Notes & Highlights
Ophelia huddled closer to her sister as they slowed to a stop next to a café at an intersection, a breeze fluttering through her thick, gray skirts, the familiar smell of fried pastries and powdered sugar hitting her nose a moment later.
Ophelia turned to find that two young men had stopped only a few feet away, lingering before a newspaper stand at the entrance of a barbershop, their heads together over the gazette. “Only twenty-seven? I thought there were almost a hundred who entered?” one of them said. The other man shrugged. “Most contestants tap out before they die. The smart ones do anyway.” His companion scoffed. “The smart ones don’t enter in the first place.”
“In order to win Phantasma you must be the last person to leave, alive, after completing all nine levels—one level for each night, beginning tomorrow. The trials begin promptly at sunset, and if you are late, you are disqualified.”
??? So she's going to find her sister by... entering a game only ONE person can win? Is she going to die just to see if her sister is there? If she's there....then what? She goes oh okay sweet and dies so Genevieve can win? God these people are stupid and their motivations are a mess.
