Way more fun than expected. Lord of the Flies meets school of the X-men? Something like that, I guess. YA, yes, but dark YA. There's some pretty chilling stuff going on here. And with hardly any puppy love or whiny emo nonsense to get in the way, always on the move, often on fast-forward. Surprisingly entertaining!
