The Inheritance Games

I can't list a single personality trait other than “stubborn” for any of these characters, they're so incredibly boring and the story is just as slow. For a mystery involving a massive fortune, attempts at murder, missing heirs and tragic pasts, I have zero interest in reading any of the other books in this series. Why was this so popular and highly rated??

The puzzles and treasure hunt should've been the best part of this but it was like a shitty escape room plot.

A small list of major issues with this one:
- The attempted murderer had zero motive or anything to gain for the attack, and the mom was involved but gets off with no punishment?
- The mystery of Emily is so boring and lame, I don't even understand the point of this side of the plot.
- “Henry” aka Toby is barely mentioned and supposed to be the big twist yet you don't care about him at all or even worse, hardly remember how he's supposed to be involved.
- The dialogue is awful. Teenagers do not talk like that. In fact, no one talks like that. Listening to the audiobook made this 10x worse.
- The love triangle is boring. All three characters have no personality so I don't give a single crap who wins in the end and it seems like the main character doesn't either since she appears to settle for the one she didn't get rejected by.

Overall, I'm staying away from any book that's popular on social media. It keeps disappointing.
