This was a good read. It was a little predictable in plot (the only thing that surprised me was that Ben wasn’t killed off...he seemed kind of separated from the rest of the crew for much of the storyline.) It was compelling though. I wanted to keep reading to finish the story and find out what happened to everyone. Typical happy ending. Not that I’m complaining; I enjoy a good happy ending. The technology was really interesting, and the concept fun to experience. For dystopian YA fiction, I’d say it’s similar in plot line to most others of this sort. The only thing making it different was the technology. I was a bit irritated at times with Avlyn’s constant predictable need to disobey orders. I get it, she’s the herione. She saves the day. But it just seemed like anytime something big was going on, the author made some reference to her not being good at obeying orders. Meh. Seemed a bit overdone. And the switch from disappointed, distant relationship with her “parents” to loving and grieving their loss? Also seemed a bit overdone. Just my opinion. But like I said, overall, I enjoyed the read.
