Oh my god, I thought this book would never END. I almost DNF this one because it reads like HORRIBLE fan fiction. “I’m so powerful. Im so mighty. I’m so clever. But look how humble I am!!” The SOLE reason I finished this book was for #ReindeerReadathon and nothing else. The premise for this series is amazing, the world building is definitely lacking, as are the character depths and development. I would love to see another author take this idea and do something beautiful with it. 

I’m heavily disappointed in this book, because I enjoyed the Ender’s Game series. Even though, looking back, there are definitely parallels. 

I wish I could get back all the time I wasted on this book. -108 stars tbh.
