Just read this. It got so many of the same parts, yet an entirely different vibe and execution.
It really seems very inspired by Red Rising, in the part that the main character is "fighting the system" from within and a lot of the tension coming from him having the keep his identity secret.


Plot being mostly contained in an elite boarding school, where the students will have to fight each other. Main character just being better than everyone else, just like Red Rising!
The direction of the plot is clearly for the main character to go on and rise in the ranks of the empire so he can take it down from within. Just like Red Rising!

I really liked this book. First in a new series.
It's definitively a lot "boringer", and less risqué than Red Rising. No one is pissing on each other.
Book is a bit longer than it should have to be. This is a hallmark of the author, lol.

Maybe I just really really like hungry games.
