A good YA caper - lives up to my memory from childhood. I think I first read the book in middle school, but there is a lot for adults here. The world-building is fresh and imaginative - if creepy. It leans into classic YA factionalism tropes, but it has some very subtle and unexpected themes of real-world economic inequality and political instability that develop slowly over the whole series.
