RaveBooklistThough Skrutskie’s novel sounds like yet another teen dystopian tale, its strengths lift it above the crowd. She’s created a fully realized world that’s different enough to seem unique but understandable enough to keep readers from getting lost ... And the diversity of ethnicities, sexualities, genders, and religions is seamlessly integrated into the story, influencing the characters’ actions but never overwhelming the main tale. Definitely recommended for readers looking for a fresh take on classic sf tropes.
