Maddy's Reviews > To Best the Boys

Oh my goodness, THIS BOOK. I had high expectations for this story and it completely lived up to them. This book is literally amazing and definitely one of the best books I’ve ever read. Yep, it was that good.

To Best the Boys follows a character named Rhen. Wanting to be able to get a higher education, she disguises herself as a boy and enters an all male contest in a maze, hoping that she’ll win the scholarship. If that’s not the coolest story line I don’t know what is. ;)

The first 100+ pages are on the day before the maze, and while I loved that part and thought it was interesting, I was ready for them to get in the maze. XD That’s the only part that I wouldn’t mind if it got changed some, but the rest was literally perfect. Once they got to the maze though, WOW. It was just so good. Rhen and her cousin ( who also disguised herself and went in the maze ) ended up with a group with guys they knew. Some from lower levels of society and some from higher. I thought the group that the book focuses on in the maze was perfect because you have the lower and higher society guys ( some who are at odds with each other ) and then Rhen and her cousin. All the guys in the group that the girls end up in are guys they know / hang out with, but the boys have no idea it’s the two girls. The maze was really cool with how it was done, and then having the group of friends / enemies + the disguised girls made it so interesting.

I loved this book so much and read it every chance I got. It’s full of twists and turns and leaves you in suspense until the very end. It was just so amazing and I loved every second of it!
