While better, this book was also far more disturbing. We got a few new characters, and we meet older characters.

One of them is named Dan-Dan.  

I really despised everyone on that boat. Instead of helping people, they are doing all the stuff they did there. Really sick.

We also find out why the title is Gladiator (was already wondering about it). 

Poor B., the things she witnesses, I can imagine B acts so gruffy and mean at times. Anyone would do that after all they went through in the last few books and this one.

I really did like the ending for this book, I like how B keeps growing and learning new things.

I will be sure to read the next book as well
