73 pages in and this book still feels like a chore

I had no idea what I was getting into when I started this book. 41 pages in and I still have no idea what I’m getting into.

“How do sheep kill a lion? By drowning him in blood.”

The feel of the series has changed drastically. To me, it feels like it has shifted from the “Hunger Games” / “Lord of the Flies” vibes in book 1 to the Ender’s Game / Star Wars Prequels vibes so far in book 2.
I enjoy it! I’m flying through the book. This is one of the more intermediate level type books I have read. For instance, I feel as though I’m not told what to think or how to feel. And I like it

The world building is absolutely insane. So much more other similar books I’ve read.

The introduction tempted me to buy 5 copies and give to my closest friends. If the rest of the book keeps preaching truths, that will become a reality.
