4.0

I really enjoyed the sci-fi vibes of this book and the descriptions of Darrows life that set the scene of the challenges he had faced but comfort and stability he had experienced throughout growing up! Then the book takes a more ‘hunger games’ type approach when  he is created into a killer and thrown into a year long war game. There are a lot of characters to keep track of and ten times more battle than I expected. However, I enjoyed the journey overall and the twists and turns made me root more and more for Darrow! Definitely will read the next book.
