Has stayed in my mind. Wonderfully intriguing worldbuilding that is unfurled so well. proper sci fi, raising so many questions relevant to our day.  
Little flavors of Doctor Who, Pathologic, and Hunger Games.

This book was fascinating. I love the way that it unfolded. The worldbuilding was imaginative and engaging. My only complaint is that there were some moments where the author did more telling than showing.
