Not the best dystopian I have read but it kept me interested and if there is a 2nd book I will have to read it to find out what happened to Wes and Edie.

I wish there had been more about the killer ticks and less about the partial development of characters that I didn't end up caring all that much about. ...more

It was such a big full world. But 600 pages for that ending? It felt like the whole book was a set up for book two. I find that annoying. Give us some closure.

Great dystopian premise, "killer" ticks...! Kept my interest throughout, even tho I wasn't especially attached to any of the characters, kept reading to see what would happen next. ...more
