Honestly, this book was exactly what I expected it to be. Whoever said it was like an action based on the selection it's true. There were also some elements of avatar the last Airbender and I guess like the hunger games without the violence. 

This book scratched the itch I needed it to, did that mean it was good, not particularly but I did enjoy it until like the last third. There was a madness going on with the big villain, the new character and a reveal that felt not really needed. Also, the last couple of chapters after the battle felt a lot like filler and probably could have happened at the beginning rather than the end.

Overall would I recommend this book, no not really but again it scratched the itch it needed to and I enjoyed it and that's what mattered.
