Clones produced to do the work. Hmm... in theory, isn't producing a clone more expensive than getting workers ? Nevertheless, if you suspend your disbelief, you might actually enjoy reading Cohn's writing. There were some amusing scenes like when Elysia wonders where a girl "puts out the sex". This humor was obvious, but I must admit I was still entertained.
Are there twists the reader doesn't see coming? Perhaps a new reader who isn't used to many twists and turns will be surprised, but I saw coming from miles away. However, there are enough surprises that she'll likely catch you off guard once or twice.
