I do want to want to read on in the story, that ending was hopeful?

I did struggle to keep track sometimes because one character would have like five names in the same scene and I would be like "WHO?!" so would go back and forth on who was who
The scenes were also a bit hard to visualise and I would have loved a bit more information on the trials they were actually doing you know? but a solid first book anyways 

I honestly didn't see the twist coming at all so I like that it was able to surprise me :)

The ending tells us there's more afoot here so I do want to read on in the series to see what happens
