There are some characters death that happen late into the book, I was sad and disappointed about it because they were character who I feel could have been really interesting to follow for a bit longer in the next book.

It wouldn’t surprise me if we get matched against each other. “They’re really going to have us fight each other. One I’d like to see succeed because of its very good cast of characters and some clever bits. It is one of these books that I could see becoming an Ender-style blockbuster movie. Mostly, I wasn’t disappointed because I knew what to expect from the reviews I read: mostly a story of trials and competition in a Hunger Games/Ender’s Game fashion. I can say that I understand why people love this book, I had a good time reading it. Apparently if you tell me a book is a SciFi set in space with a diverse cast of characters, I’m in!
