Like the Hunger Games, although, given that it was originally written for an audience in a country where the students actually have to try hard, there's about 40 times as much to read as Hunger Games. Anyway, it takes place in a post-Donald Trumpian dystopia (you didn't think I was going to say utopia, did you?) of isolationism. It's a translation, so what I read did not have much poetry to it.
