______
Blue Fall (Book 1)
If you knew about the Tournament, you'd know why they want it kept secret. People don't like to hear that state-sponsored war games are going on under their noses, in their cities, and on their streets. The world isn't ready to know that the most powerful among us can shape the future by wagering on these fights. People wouldn't understand if they learned that teams in the Tournament have the freedom to do almost anything, anywhere, to win.
The Tournament was supposed to be the perfect game, and the perfect secret. Frank Youngsmith, a hapless insurance agent, was supposed to be a nobody, none the wiser. But sometimes things just don't work out like they're supposed to. When Frank stumbles into the dark world of the Tournament when the game is on, it's up to him to expose the secret...or die trying.
Grey Winter (Book 2)
Two players have been murdered. Two killers are on the loose. Nothing is what it seems.
The world is awake now. The Tournament has captivated everyone, but no winner can be declared until the mystery of what happened to Team Blue is solved. Meanwhile, three new players are chosen to rebuild the fallen team, but they are young and inexperienced, and instantly targeted. Their survival is dependent upon their existence remaining a secret. But in the Tournament, secrets are hard to keep.
New alliances are formed, old enemies are confronted, and the truth is finally revealed in Grey Winter.
Black Spring (Book 3)
The Black House gathers power and the remaining teams are divided. The Tournament will fall into the hands of Eddie Mazaryk and Team Black unless Ellie Willmore and Team Blue can stop them. But to stop Black, Ellie needs to pull off a miracle unite sworn enemies to beat the best of the best.
The stakes have never been higher. The winners own the Tournament. The losers forfeit everything...even their lives.
Ties of friendship, love, and hate are put to the test under a hail of gunfire in Black Spring, the spectacular conclusion to The Tournament Trilogy.

I read these books, one right after another, tearing through them in all my spare time, What I thought was a typical dystopian Hunger Games/Running Man trope turned out to be so much more. Don't get me wrong--I love the whole panem et circenses theme--but I wasn't expecting this. First of all, there is a huge cast of characters of about thirty main characters, some of them more important than others. The author does a pretty good job of differentiating them, but he gave most of the men a defining characteristic, while the women were mostly pretty and petite. They were also kick@ss, so I'm okay with that, but it took me until the second book to get them all straight. I was still able to keep up on the story, though, so it wasn't a huge deal.Unfortunately, I cannot reveal much of the plot, without spoilers, because so much of it is revealed slowly throughout the books. What I can say, is that there are some twists and turns, which really ramp up the suspense and tension. I felt that one of the plot twists stretched a killer's motivation somewhat, but, at least it wasn't one of those books, where the author withholds vital information, so the reader never could have guessed the killer's identity. In retrospect, the signs were there, so, well done B.B. Griffith.
Despite the huge cast, I did come to care about some of the characters deeply, and I was very torn, as I knew, as an American, I was supposed to be rooting for Team Blue, but other teams--Team White (Mexico) and Team Green (Ireland)--had very sympathetic characters. I was dreading the confrontation between my favorite teams, when the story took a very interesting and terrible turn. As I read the third book, I didn't see how the author could possibly wrap it all up in time, but he did and wonderfully, though he made me cry. Damn you, B.B! You know what you did! I can't say more than that, because I don't want to ruin your enjoyment of the story, as it unfolds.
There were a few editorial issues--not enough to pull you completely out of the story--and some words were used in a way I was not familiar with, but I knew what the author was trying to say, so maybe it's a regional/dialect thing....?
Overall, if you're into books like The Hunger Games, Death Race, and Running Man, this is a slightly less-deadly, very interesting take on that theme, and you'll enjoy this series very much.

The Tournament Trilogy edition by B B Griffith Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
So there are some dry spots of growing, learning, character growth, and overall setting the stage of why, what is going to happen. The explanation doesn’t distract from the pace of the story too much, it makes it that much richer. Great writing, great trilogy.
Unusual and interesting concept slightly reminiscent of The Hunger Games. .Each scene seemed real and I felt as though I was actually there. The author has the uncanny ability to paint pictures with words.
Another type of war, originally intended to replace what we know of war today between nations in a gamesmanship form. I had to read the entire book before I understood that. This is a new genre for me. I might have caught on sooner if I wasn’t so naive to the concept. Great characters. Loved both Team Blues and the triples of Team Silver and and true evil exists in Team Black.
The first book is so bogged down in backstory of every character there's no action. It's like the author wanted us to know every details of the people that make up the book and wants to tell it in long narrative format. I have interest in that - I want the action of the promised story given in the blurb. Maybe it starts in the 2nd book but I'm not sure I'll make it that far.
didn't start out sounding like what I'd thought I was getting; but eventually became clear. was slow getting into the main story and stayed kinda slow throughout; yet, it remained consistently interesting and different enough to keep me reading to the ultimately satisfying end.
The first book starts off slow, with old fashioned character development. There was enough conflict that I wanted to see what would happen. The reveals and conflict resolutions are weak. There is also a deliberate pronoun misuse at a major event that I find annoying. Overall, better than average but not enough for me to purchase the next book.
The start of the book is slow. Keep reading.
The fights in the middle of book 1 are very well done. Worth reading the book for these. Great descriptions, interesting scenarios, and fascinating motivations.
I hated the ending of book 1. Keep reading.
The start and the middle of book two are slow. Keep reading.
The end of book 2 is amazing and makes up for the ending of book 1 and the rest of book 2.
The start of book 3 is slow but understandable setup. Keep reading.
Interesting science and political stuff in the middle of book 3.
Final battle scene at end of book 3 is well done. Not as good as the battle scenes in the middle of book 1 though. Satisfying conclusion, no cliff hangers.
Overall while the idea was interesting, right up until the end of the second book I never thought I'd give this book collection 5 stars. Well written throughout but the start of all of the books are slow and the end of the first book was discouraging. I wasn't fond of all of the characters and amount of time spent on some was annoying. However, everything tied together very well and the three books combined make a compelling, well written story. My main message is to just keep reading. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the completed trilogy.
