I just finished the book and I’m not sure how I feel, I enjoyed it, it was easy to read but I don’t think it was original. I can see is a mix of the selection- game of thrones- the hunger games and I it was to obvious for my taste. I like it but I don’t think I’ll read the rest of the saga!

I'm totally agree with @Sabri, this reminds me a lot of The Hunger Games, though here it's not obvious that they want to kill each other. It's a bit obvious? Yeah. But it surprised me somehow and I'm glad for it. Even if I don't really like the writing, I'm enjoying it so far.

READ UNTIL CHAPTER 19 Spoilers ahead!!
(view spoiler)[Don't you think there's a lot more good male characters than female? I understand the situation -Mare just took the opportunity to the others to be a princess- but could any girl just be nice to her too? D:
Also, Maven surprised me a lot.
Also it's exhasperating when MAre tries to pretect Kilorn. ARGH. Let him do what he wants, you're not his mom!
