Never thought Chess could be so exciting

When I got this book, I knew it was about bodyguards, but with a name like Pawn and knowing what Annabel Joseph normally writes, this was not what I expected. True to her other books, it was great, though. I enjoyed seeing how in-depth the chess world is. We always see the poker tournaments on TV and such, but never really appreciate how much work they put into perfecting their craft. It was bittersweet the way they tried so hard to fight what was between them. She reminded me of a pre-teen, though. It seemed like everytime something didn't go her way, she was all woe is me, I don't like this game, I am gonna pick up my bat and ball and go home. And by the way, I think you are a jerk. It conflicted with the hard work and dedication she would have had to put in to get to the point she was at. Overall, it was a great book and I can't wait to read more about the boys over at Ironclad. Who will they protect next? I wanna know, don't you?
