Besides the pacing waining a bit at times, which is subjective, this is a very well crafted world. Social hierarchy & systems are established very smoothly, but bluntly. I find it difficult to see wrong with this being potentially an origin story, of a hopefully growing & long running franchise. World building to this level is MUCH harder than it looks on the writer's side of things. A very good read for a YA fantasy story.
