Strider cannot lose a challenge without experiencing inhumane pain because he has the Demon of the Defeat. Overall, I like Strider a lot.The cover is one of the yellow ones. I don't know why, but the colours used for all the covers are somewhat strange. They could have been more real and somewhat more varied, though three out of eleven are all yellowish.
Strider is ready for victory, yet there is reason enough to be. So when somebody talks, he has to choose his words very precisely so that the demon won't accept it as another competition he has to win at all costs.
Nothing can stand in the way between him and the victory, except maybe Kaia, the bigger sister of Gwendolin, also a harpy. She has a twin sister, Bianca, both of which are half-harps/half-phoenix, but Bianca's Phoenix is missing, unlike Kaia. She likes Strider, but he doesn't want a relationship because it's all a challenge to him and when he wins, he loses interest. In fact, this is suicidal because, in the end, he gets tired of every girlfriend. At her insistence, he accompanied her to the Games of the Harpies as her consort. In addition to proving to the other harpies who hate her because of a past event, she has to win the first place because the reward is more valuable than any gold in the world. It's something they need more than anything else and when they get it, they will be able to finally find the Pandora's box.
The book is interesting, as Strader is one of my favourite Lords. And Kaia, just like Gwendolin, has curly hair and blue-green eyes. I'll just add that Bianca's hair is chestnut, and the twins are not at all alike. Personally, I very much like this book and I think it's quite intriguing.
