I was expecting the plot to take a pattern similar to the hunger games, with the races taking place around the mid point. As instead the race only happens at the end, I felt like the plot dragged a bit. But in the end I also feel like the slow village life and romance made for proper worldbuilding and atmosphere setting, so if you’re into that this may be the book for you.
