80%. I really, really liked the premise of this book, but I felt like some of the execution lacked. The world building was done really well, because it didn't feel like an info dump, but I feel like I also understand the world perfectly. I also really loved the main characters, Citra and Rowan. I thought the premise that they would be competing against each other was fascinating as well, but I wish that more of their actual training was shown in the book, because it was mostly just them attending killings. (view spoiler)[ Also, while I like them as a pair, THERE IS NO SUBSTANCE, and Citra has NO reason to believe that Rowan isn't a cold-blooded monster. There's also little basis, because it seems like Rowan is pining after her, and Citra isn't, but then she is? I like the relationship, I just wish there was more substance to it. (hide spoiler)] I also really liked the idea that some scythes weren't good, and that they might be a little evil. It was also really heartbreaking at times, but I'm really glad that there will be a sequel, because a lot of things weren't wrapped up!
