Decent book. Despite the dramatic looking cover and description, it's fairly slow-paced. Could've done with more time spent in the arena + training instead her relationships with others and her thoughtprocesses, which took up a good deal of the book. Most of the book took place in the space between her father's death and her battle at the end, and didn't have much high-paced or even really all that interesting content. OK to read once but wouldn't bother reading it a second time.
