I was drawn to this book ever since I read it for the mini-awards. It is a fantastic book that should not be missed. The title is catchy and, although it does not seem like it would have anything to do with the text, you will soon realize that it makes a lot of sense when you learn about the characters' backgrounds. I also liked how you kept it simple—sure, you could have gone for the latin phrase to grab readers' attention even faster, but not many people are interested in or know a lot of lingo. The title is memorable and powerful, and it hooks you in.
Moving on to the cover, it is decent and includes the protagonist's name as well. This little detail compensates for the simplicity of the cover image. The tile and name are easily visible, so the reader knows where to return if interested in the story on the long run.
The blurb was also excellent, providing the reader with just the right amount of information to pique his or her interest. I was a little unsure about this because there are some elements that could enhance the blurb a little bit, but they aren't necessary.
This is just some advice; you do not have to listen to me if you disagree. I believe you can make the situation more clear if you replace "who was placed on the" with "on the waiting list for a".
You could also remove the phrase "after being wounded in the same accident that killed Lyla" and replace it with "after being wounded in the same accident."
