2.5
The book is violent, and much of the violence is upsetting. I'd put it on a similar level as The Hunger Games. (It reads similarly to Hunger Games in general.) Lots of very-minor-character deaths, lots of gravestones of previous runners, and a few deaths that we "witness."(Vague spoilers to follow.)
Teens would probably still be interested, but the author really leans into the bleakness of the world. It makes you roll your eyes at the chokehold that YA dystopians had on us back in the aughts. They're all pretty much the same book. I'd say Grade 10+ for this.
