Wow. 
Fast paced.
Relentlessly brutal.
Endlessly entertaining, engaging and emotionally damaging (in a good way?).

I went into this read blind, no synopsis read or anything. I'm glad I did because I was surprised from start to finish.

Those who enjoyed Ender or Hunger Games and desire a similar but more mature story...dig in!
