I read this for the "A Book Featuring Royalty" part of my 2020 reading challenge. I was getting some serious Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard vibes, with the whole "people with powers competing in an arena" thing, but this book didn't feel like an exact duplicate and I loved it. It had a twist on my favorite trope, which I really appreciate, and overall I am waiting anxiously to find a copy of book 2.
