I thoroughly enjoyed this book but something felt like it was missing.

Also, I’m confused bc Kai said his first kill was a child but we find out his first kill was actually Paedyn’s dad?

This book reminded me of a cross between The Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Princess Trials. The interactions between Kai and Paedyn will make you laugh, gasp, and cry. It is a violent dystopian story but will have you rooting for the characters until the end, and oh, what an ending it is!
