A good book with an interesting ethical debate/focal point but a bit slow and took longer to read than normal. A lot of character build up for very little outcome

This caught my eye in the bookstore and sounded like an interesting premise. It is an interesting story, however at times it was slow. I liked each character and their stories, but I would have liked to have had fewer people and more depth. Each of their endings was believable and fit the person, however then again, I felt a little short changed with some of them. It was a little wrapped up. Overall though an above average book that is worth reading.

Just the vibe I was hoping for. Very entertaining, and the concept makes for some great twists. I will say that Noor's helplessness gets kind of repetitive near the end, and at some point you just want to reach through the book and TELL HER. Anyways, there were a lot of perspectives, and I found I liked Oscar's the best, and Finn's the least (especially since the latter's story just kind of felt... unresolved? maybe that was the point?). The other three were pretty good as well. I hope there is more to come from this author...
