This book was pretty poorly written. It felt like a reading comprehension test you’d give to a 7th grader. If I hadn’t spent money on it I’d have DNF’d it around 25%. The beginning felt like a poor ripoff of Enders Game and while the second half of the book was more interesting it was overshadowed by prose so bad it made Brandon Sanderson look like Shakespeare. I feel betrayed by every positive review I’ve seen of this book.
