Played For the Satisfaction of Others asks the ultimate question: What is the price of change? ~~~~~ This is a character-driven novel, and I do not rely on tropes, archetypes, or genre expectations. From dystopian thriller to psychological drama to romantic-suspense to adventure elements to science fiction elements to New Adult themes, each topic and genre piece I use is to create the world-building, move the plot along, and serve the emotional development of my characters. Tropes and archetypes are not the focus. All characters are their messy selves, and what they do and what they think is a direct extension of their personalities and backgrounds. This book's about Anya as she learns who she is and what she ultimately wants from her life. This is the backbone of the book.
