What a BRILLIANT book - unlike anything I'd ever read before. Shannon is a master at world-building, and it's impossible to tell how young she is in this, her first novel while still at university.

A strange combination of dystopian and sci-fi, would appeal to lovers of Twilight (but better).

This has so much going on. There’s a lot of imagination at play in Shannon’s scifi story. It’s often too slow but the building Plot is worth the time and attention. Not perfect, but so much of what works is awesome and there’s tons of potential for more in the sequels. A good first block in building a towering series. 3.75/5 stars.
