puddleglum1983 's review for:
Firstlife
by Gena Showalter
This story suffers from a few weaknesses that I've noticed in some other 21st century YA fiction: 1) all the main characters are amazingly gorgeous, males with bulging muscles and simmering eyes and females who are too thin to be healthy; 2) excessive drama; and 3) a world where all the adults are screwed up and the teenagers are the only ones who can save the day. These are the greatest weaknesses I saw.
Otherwise, I enjoyed this novel more than I expected, considering these weaknesses. The action was well paced, and I did care about the characters and how their lives turned out. I found the premise intriguing and would like to continue the series at some point to find out what Ten and her friends all do by the end.
