Some Hunger Games elements, that went by really quickly. Lots of building up to the end, which was pretty much a corker, so stick with it. More answers will play out in the second book, I hope - lots alluded to here, reasons why, hidden identities, that I’d like resolved.

This book had be GASPING at the ending plot twists. A true emotional rollercoaster at the end made any slow parts throughout the book worth it.

I was very shocked with this book. I was not expecting to like it so much. It was fast-paced, brutal, and really kept you on your toes. You fell in love with characters, then felt betrayed by them, and I thought it was excellent.
