3.5 star rounded up

This is a promising start to a trilogy about a teen assassin that was originally titled Boy Nobody. He's been doing this for a couple of years and to find out how and why, there is some backstory given a bit at a time in little chapters throughout the book. What makes this story work is that in this book he starts to question what he's doing and why. As the blurb says, deep down he's still the boy he used to be. There are some good twists in this book--some you can see coming, of course, but there are still a few surprises you don't. I plan to read the sequel.
