Great book! The setting and the premise of the book are excellent . The pacing was a bit weird at times but never to slow, but there were moments when events were just briefly mentioned where I would have loved a page or two of recounting. A lot of people say that this is similar to hunger games in the main premise and they are correct. However ,having read them both, this was much more impactful to me personally. When I was thinking that I knew exactly what was going to happen ,or how the situation will develop scene to scene ,more often then not the author managed to twist the story to new exciting places while not steping out to the absurd. I will continue with the series and can gladly recommend the book!

I ate this up and am still thinking about it. Maybe not the best writing style but drew me in for sure
