Given all the hype around this young author's debut science fiction novel, I was supremely skeptical. It's true that the writing quality is not marvelous. On the hand, story itself is fast-paced, engaging, and incredibly entertaining. Without spoiling anything, I will tell you that this book might have been called *Ender's Game of Hunger Thrones!* The author is obviously well versed in classical studies, as much of the symbolism scattered throughout the book is authentic to ancient Rome.
