This was a very engaging book. Tella is chosen to be a contender in the Brimstone Bleed. The Brimstone Bleed is a survival contest where the prize is a cure for your dying loved one. I found it engaging because Tella knows nothing of this contest till she is chosen and neither does the reader. You are well into the book before you know why and how they are all chosen. I really liked the aspect of the story that each of them are given a "pandora." Pandoras are creatures given to the contenders to help them. Tella's pandora is a fox with extraordinary powers. This reminded me of Phillip Pullman's novel "The Golden Compass" where the main character is helped along by her daemon. Be aware.....this is going to be a series and it leaves us hanging in many respects.
