The pacing was a bit frustrating in how the character thinks, which also felt very juvenile. The school system is underexplained, as are the motivations of the antagonist groups. The world building is flawed and not super in depth. For example there is a whole location the students can go but are told they should not with no reasons why. There is also a messaging system for every student to use that is used one time. The school makes no move to curtail rule-breaking aside from one scene where "the Smiths" read the students' minds and raid their stuff. The kids are removed from their home area, yet an outside character can get them to the one kid's former home just in time to learn of some sad news and receive a supposed-to-be-heartbreaking scene of their family not remembering them.
