The book starts with a bang.
The reader is thrust into the world in the same manner as the protagonist. He has amnesia which means that he learns
along with the reader of the world around him, so no one is left out. Everything has to be explained which means
that like all good high science fiction; it all has a purpose. There is a sense of discovery and I would
openly say that this is a coming of age mystery thrown into a futuristic
setting. The reader has to see through
Chase’s eyes, but still be empathetic enough to understand other people at
least on a basic level as he would.
The author is very good at not excluding anyone. She is detailed without bogging everything
down and making the reading denser than it has to be. The pace of the story is astoundingly
achieved. There is suspense, mystery,
adventure, and a strong sense of seeking and finding that is never lost. It is left open for more, yet the ending is
realistic in its complexity. It does
have a clear ending that implicates that what transpired in the book is only
the beginning.
