I like the universe this series is set in and I like Darrow's story. I liked but didn't love the first book in the series and this one was supposed to be even better. Most people think so.
In a way, it is a better book than the first one. There is less world-building (which I loved) and more action (better than in the last book, but still boring).
But, I didn't enjoy reading it. It felt like a chore and I was so happy when I finished. I even considered DNFing it. Things got old really quickly and although there is a lot going on, it is just a drag altogether. There is something about the style that just doesn't vibe with me. The book has too many twists and too many unimportant characters which makes it somewhat superficial. I didn't care about the characters, Darrow's plot armor is thick enough to get him through anything. And the relationships are boring. The setting is still great though, but it is not enough on its own.
I did like Sevro, he is my favourite character in the series.

It didn't help that I decided to get this in Croatian translation, which was horrible, but I switched back to the original after a few chapters. However, nothing helped to improve the impression. 2.5 stars rounded up.

One hell of a good read, a notch above most young adult dystopian romps. I love the world building here, it's stronger and more fleshed out than something like Hunger Games, though I think it's lacking a bit in characters. The games went on a tad too long for my liking, but I was still compelled to read more per day than I usually do. Keen to keep going on the series, I hear it gets better with each book.

Love the pomp and brutality of the Golds. I'm surprised this hasn't been adapted into a movie or show yet. Would be very expensive, I'm guessing but I'd watch!… (més)

HIGHLY pissed at the cliffhanger ending. It'll get a better rating after book 3 (2016?) is released.
Updated rating to reflect end of series (thus, no more cliffhangers)

EDIT 6/2018 - I did this last read on audiobook. Still as good as the 1st time. But wondering again how a future that developed from earth has a total lack of diversity.

EDIT 2/2016: The re-read in prep for Book 3 is almost as good as the first 2 times, but this time around I'm noticing the complete lack of diversity. Just.....nothing.

EDIT 1/13/15: The re-read in preparation for Book 2 was just as enjoyable. I highly recommend.

Original Review - I loved this book and can't wait until the next installment.
