Wow! I am not a fan of sci-fi or dystopian fiction, but this one is so good! Solomon really creates vivid and unique characters that you feel so connected to. They do such a great job of exploring the big ideas and themes they present, with wonderful ideas about how humans interact with the world and society. Sometimes moments can get lost through a jumble, but overall, this book is highly unique and just plain good.
