It was an interesting concept. I enjoyed the originality of the piece although, it did remind me of Scott Westerfeld's trilogy (because I don't count Extras) The Uglies.
The storyline was a bit confusing at times but I sum that up to the whole having to create an entirely new world since it takes place in the future, however, for must of the stuff, the reader can catch on fast. I also think that more will become clear as the books continue, particularly with Old Man and Blake since I'm dying to know more.
I wish the romance aspect had been dealt with a bit better since it felt rushed and virtually didn't happen. I hope it plays a bigger and stronger role in the future novels.
All in all, it was a decent read. Kept me interested and I finished it in a day (but that's nothing new if it's remotely interesting). It's not good enough to deserve my extremely and undying love but I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for future novels by this author, particularly in the series.
Oh, also.. I adore the cover. I just wish Price had gone into more detail with the significance or metaphor behind Michael's drawing because I feel like I might be putting untrue facts into what I get out of it.
