The book could have been about half the length if the author stopped repeating themself and explicitly stating things that were already heavily implied. The definition of telling and not showing. The trials were boring and while there was a teeeeeeeniest bit of foreshadowing, the author intentionally kept information from the reader to create a big twist, so instead of it being incredible and satisfying, it was just jarring.
