Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth
3.0

Liked it, but didn't love it. There's absolutely no need for this to be more than a single book and the result is a drawn out story with pacing issues (particularly in the final act). The characters are interesting and the world building has potential, but this feels more like a strategic $$$-related decision rather than a necessary creative one.
