What I'm Reading- The Traitor's Game

My first poolside read this summer was The Traitor's Game by Jennifer A. Nielsen. I love anything by Jennifer Nielsen because it is always full of adventure, always contains a character or two with great sarcasm, and is always clean. In the YA fantasy, The Traitor's Game, she delivers another great adventure, and in my opinion this is one of her best books yet!

This story is set in the medieval fantasy world of Antora, and follows sixteen-year-old Kestra. On her way home to her father, Kestra is kidnapped by a group who forces her to betray her family and is thrown into a plot to overthrow the government. She desperately wants to do what is right for her country and her family, but as secrets unravel, it is difficult for her to know which side is right, especially when she can't figure out who is lying and who is telling the truth.

This is a fun YA read that keeps you guessing with a strong female character who can hold her own.  I love the humor between Kestra and the other characters in the book, and I appreciate that it is a clean read (so I'm comfortable letting my tween girls read it too)! If you are looking for something to read this summer, I highly recommend this book!
