The Blood Trials by N.E. Davenport

I wanted to love this book! It's gotten such high praise! Unfortunately, I just didn't like the main character. I have no problem with an angry protagonist, but they've got to be written well. Ikenna wasn't fleshed out enough and the supporting cast even less so.
