A complex and futuristic thriller that, even at a hefty 433 pages, will leave you wanting more...another stunning example of Teri Terry doing what she does best

A gripping thriller.

The plot's twists and turns keep the reader guessing until the end

I liked this book a lot ... I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Teri Terry's other books or The Hunger Games (Charlies Hunter, Liberton High)

Review (Yolanda Stefsos)

stupidly good

a good reader easy to understand and just a really good story I really recommend it

Wonderful story and universe - rushed ending

When realized this book was on audible, I HAD to pick it up. I read it way back in 2015 as a 17 year old and got blown away... and confused. I'm not a native english speaker, so I had issues with some terms as when I read it way back, and the ending hit me full force in the face. I think it genuinely helped me when I listened to it this time.

The entire story is wonderfully crafted and the universe so fleshed out - yet it leaves a lot unspoken and up to the reader's interpretation. During the story I got frustrated with how Luna kept missing the *obvious* etc, but after further contemplation I came to the realization I would probably act in a similar manner. The voice actor did an incredible job.

To put into perspective how good of a book this is, I bought it at around 9pm because I wanted something to listen to before going to bed - I ended up listening to the entire thing and went to sleep at 7am. It's that addictive!

The only "negative" things I have to say about the book is that it's all a very nice pace, and then comes the ending with so much happening that you're sure to be at least a little confused. It unravels at the speed of light and you end up in different places very fast. There were also around 3 (?) parts where editing missed stuff, like lines being flubbed, or spoken twice, but it was so rare you barely notice it.

I'd definitely recommend this to teens around 15-18, or literally anyone wanting a good time. It deals with mature themes, and I'd like to revisit it another 5 years down the line.
