A fab start to the trilogy. This YA novel follows the journey of Pae & Kai as they take part in the kingdom's purging trials.

Many people compare this Story to The Hunger Games, but I feel that this story has its own unique storyline and follows its own trajectory 

I loved the evolving relationship between Pae, and Kai, as well as the development of the other characters. 

I feel the ending of the book has set itself up nicely for the second book in the trilogy.
