I found this instalment a little more complex and difficult to follow than Red Rising - a little too much detailed world-building and in-world slang/terminology for my personal liking (though this might appeal to many). I also found the book seemed to use the same plot twist over and over again throughout which started to make it predictable. However, the pacing was good and I liked the relationship-building between the characters and the character growth.
