This book didn't do it for me. I mainly had issues with the characters and the plot, so essentially the whole book. I was excited to see what kind of world Eden would be and what the Adamites would look like and then it's kinda like Earth and Adamites are just humans but with wider set eyes? What?
Then there are suddenly 15 characters, half of whom you know nothing about but you are supposed to care about them as part of this team. Who the crap is Noor? Why is there a sudden love story between Omar and the one girl? And what the hell is the point of the Isadora subplot? I can only guess it is setting something up for the third book. Most of the team I completely forgot about and was like "oh they're still around?" every time they were mentioned. Holly went through a terrible ordeal that was a huge part of the plot then once she's cured nothing is done with her character. I think there in lies the problem for me, this book sacrificed the characters for the sake of moving the plot. A few
The teenagers come into the Imago city and are suddenly all high and mighty and befriending the "poor" people of the sixth circle. Absolutely nothing was gained from any of this subplot. The team didn't bother to try to learn why people were in the sixth circle. They just somehow were like "yes, I am the same as this beggar on the street even though I come from a lower middle class two parent home." The attempt to draw a parallel between the social status of the team and the sixth just fell flat.
I could go on, but I will stop. It was not a terrible read, but I am just very dissatisfied with the way the book turned.
