Half Way Home by Hugh Howey
3.0
First: This isn't YA. It has teenage characters, though like the children in an Orson Scott Card story, they never convincingly act their age. But this isn't YA.
The concept is promising. The execution is disappointing. The ending gets preachy. The characterization is weak, but the cast is huge. Events happen in sequence, but it's not quite clear where it's all headed. It's all a little undercooked. (The afterword days this began as a NaNoWriMo project, and unfortunately, it still shows.)
