Emmy is taken because she is brilliant but Willa, who is so clumsy people say she's cursed, was a mistake. The heroine, Willa, along with her friend, Emmy, end up being taken to serve at a school for gods-in-the-making. I actually probably would have enjoyed this story a lot when I was thirteen or fourteen because a lot of the popular stories on Quizilla were reverse-harem (although they weren't called that back then- they had names like I'm a Girl Trapped in an All Boys' Boarding School or Would an Angel, a Demon, or a Vampire Fall for You?). It has the breathless, madcap vibe of some of those stories that used to be really popular on the website, Quizilla, which I used actively as a teen. I can definitely see why TRICKERY is so popular. That's kind of how I feel about TRICKERY. A two star means I probably could have finished it but just didn't see the point. If I give a book a one star, that means I thought it was pretty bad. Last year, I decided that if I wasn't enjoying a book, I wasn't going to make myself finish it because life is too short to read bad or even mediocre books.
