This book was written backwards.
I was mystified, my first readthrough, as to why such a flimsy construct created a popular book. Could we not have created more mutable names for houses than "Bravery" etc? When I reached the end, as the book finally began to make sense,I finally understood why the rest read so poorly: the author never cared about it. They had this great idea about a power struggle between tribes...and then had to build a flimsy hunger-games-harry-potter world on top of that.
