Publisher's Summary
In a futuristic world nearly destroyed by religious extremists, Justin March lives in exile after failing in his job as an investigator of religious groups and supernatural claims. But Justin is given a second chance when Mae Koskinen comes to bring him back to the Republic of United North America (RUNA). Raised in an aristocratic caste, Mae is now a member of the military's most elite and terrifying tier, a soldier with enhanced reflexes and skills.
When Justin and Mae are assigned to work together to solve a string of ritualistic murders, they soon realize that their discoveries have exposed them to terrible danger. As their investigation races forward, unknown enemies and powers greater than they can imagine are gathering in the shadows, ready to reclaim the world in which humans are merely game pieces on their board.
Critic Reviews
"After years of YA, the author has finally returned to her adult roots with an ambitious (and sexy!) sci-fi outing." (EntertainmentWeekly.com)
"This brilliant book is a miracle. Think American Gods with the romantic heart of Vampire Academy. What's the point of world-building if you aren't building something and someone to love? I'm in love with every character in this book. How do I know? When I got to the last page I turned to the first and started again, thinking this is why I read." (Margaret Stohl, New York Times best-selling author of Icons)
"Vivid world-building, whip-fast pacing, and a layered plot combine to make Gameboard of the Gods a riveting read!" (Melissa Marr, New York Times best-selling author of The Arrivals)

Interesting, not gripping
Preferred her other work but this is good enough that I'll go to book 2

One of my favourite books
I am a huge fan of this series. This is my first time hearing Age of X but my second experience with the story as I have read it in the past. Brilliant.

Best Richelle Mead series
All Richelle Mead's series are a great read but this series is so unique it is a standout. Love the characters and the complex interplay of subplots that all come together by the end.

Love a strong feminine lead
I love the way Richelle Mead writes her characters, especially the strong female leads. I also love the worlds Richelle creates, with their depth and intricacies. Looking forward to book 2 and learning more about the mysteries that have already been teased.

I hate cliffhangers
WHERE IS THE NEXT BOOK I NEED TO KNOW
Very strange book but personally enjoyed it the characters relationship growth and the inner struggle Justin faces everyday but most of all the hint of comedy
