Loose ends, abrupt ending

Introductions of important places and rituals were dropped without explanation. I cannot honestly say I understand the use of the word “Killing” in the title.
This book feels like one author started it, and another finished it. The first half is a lovely, charming story about a genius mind in a child's body (with one glaringly out-of-place scene of unprofessional and unbelievable hostility. The second half is a scattershot collection of repartee explaining away the flaws of a young adult who uses his intelligence like a club.
