I would have eaten this up as a teenager. It was an enjoyable, quick read that had me wanting to turn the page to see what happens next. I found it hard to picture the setting of this book - underground but I imagine high tech? I kept picturing a high tech jail and then realising it was essentially a cave with dirt floors. That’s probably my fault rather than poor writing though!

It went a little slow, which brought the rating down. I do like the sci-fi element of it, and the whole set up. Its well written. Its set in Arizona, but you don't know that until they leave.
