This personally felt a little repetitive—like a mash up of The Hunger Games and Aveyard’s Red Queen. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but might get a little irksome if you loved either of those series.
If you’re new to YA fantasy and haven’t read Hunger Games or Red Queen yet, then you’ll probably absolutely love this, I just personally couldn’t get past how similar it was to other books I’ve read over the years.
That being said, I’ll probably still check out the sequel (and the novella) just to see how everything wraps up.
