This is essentially Hungers Games fan fiction written in the style of a Hollywood script, devoid of any meaningful story, that concludes in a very unsatisfying way. The first third of the story is there to vaguely set up the world and the other two thirds is just kids trying to enslave each other. The chapters end on cliffhangers like TV shows would be cut for a commercial break. You can feel the author gunning for that movie rights deal. Also, it definitely feels like a part 1 because not much is accomplished (apart from Darrow winning at murder school) and the book ends on a cliffhanger. But I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that Darrow wins everything by the end of the series. He is, by the looks of it, God incarnate.
If you are into kids murdering each other without any logical reason other than the fact that it's a significant trope in this genre then this will sate your hunger.
