I can see why so many people like this book, but I can also see why people don’t like it.
I really enjoyed it, I didn’t really understand the reason for the trials but that’s just on me not wanting to reread to find the explanation as to why they’re happening.
My favourite part was that the author didn’t shy away from the bloody and brutal. That these characters have cuts and scars and are often covered in blood. I know there is a show adaptation happening and I really hope that the show can live up to the brutality that these characters have been raised on.
